Benefits of Hemp Oil to the Skin

Before sharing some of the benefits of the Hemp Oil (a.k.a. CBD oil) for your skin, let me clear some things out. It is true that the oil is produced from the seeds of the Cannabis plant. But this doesn’t mean that it contains large amounts of THC (the ingredient that provides the “high” effect). Actually, the THC concentration in Hemp oil is pretty low (around 0.3 %). So you can relax. That won’t make you stoned.

Let’s go back to the benefits that CBD oil will provide to your skin. It is worth saying that Hemp oil is a very good source of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. They are also known as essential fats because our bodies need them for maintaining healthy nerves and brain function. Here are some of the pros of using CBD oil for your skin:

Rashes and Acne

Because Hemp oil is a natural product and is reach in omega-3,6 fatty acids as I mentioned above, it is perfect for psoriasis, eczema, dry skin, redness, and skin irritation. It hydrates the skin, brings more oxygen to it and has no known side effects. CBD oil is quickly absorbed from the skin and doesn’t block the pores.

Moisturizing effect

The lipids found in the skin are similar to these in hemp oil. That’s why it is perfect moisturizer and skin protectant. If your skin is dry and dehydrated the use of CBD oil will bring new life to it and increase her elasticity.

Reach in vitamins and minerals

Hemp oil is reach in vitamins A and E and contains small amounts of minerals like iron, zinc, calcium, potassium, phosphorus, and magnesium. Because of that by taking CBD oil your cardiovascular system and the flow of your blood to the skin improve. There is prevention of slow cell damage when the hemp oil is taken, due to the fact that it is high in antioxidants.

The Cosmetics use

There is a variety of cosmetic products CBD oil is added in. Just to name a few – lotions, lipsticks, shampoos and so on. There is a number of reasons for that. As we mentioned before it has very good moisturizing properties. Hemp oil adds vitamin D to the skin and allows the calcium to be absorbed easily, which helps the skin to become more soft and smooth.

There are even makeup removers with hemp oil added to them.

Conclusion

Before using hemp oil ensure that you are not allergic to it. Test that possibility by applying a patch with it on your wrist. If after that your skin is burning or itching, don’t use CBD oil on your body.

Hemp oil is a natural medicine that proved itself helpful in many areas, not only for skin care. Among the most commonly pointed are pain relief, anxiety easing, fighting addiction and so on.

Use it for any kind of skin related problem you have. It will soften and moisturize your skin, and at the same time, it will provide different vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
