Hemp has proven to be extremely beneficial to the health of your skin and has been used throughout history to help ease various conditions such as skin irritation, anxiety, pain, and insomnia. The essential fatty acids found in hemp seeds provide nutrients for glowing and moisturized skin, and the cannabinoids found in hemp flowers can help relieve various skin diseases.
HOW DOES THE SKIN BENEFIT FROM HEMP SEED OIL? Cold-pressed hemp oil is 80% essential fatty acids and has an ideal ratio of omega 6 and omega 3. Similar to the lipids of our skin, CBD can easily penetrate cells and moisturizes space between them, allowing for more essential fatty acids to enter the skin. Hemp seed oil is the only vegetable oil that contains vitamin D, which is crucial for the absorption of calcium. In addition to vitamin D, hemp seed oil also contains vitamin E and many other vitamins of the B complex, providing superior nutritional value to the skin, slowing down the effects of aging and helping alleviate acne, heal abrasions, and calm psoriasis and eczema.
HOW DOES THE SKIN BENEFIT FROM CBD OIL? Full Spectrum Cannabidiol is rich in phytocannabinoids, terpenes, flavonoids, waxes, amino acids, pigments, vitamins and other active compounds of the cannabis Sativa plant. Cannabidiol is a potent antioxidant with anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties to naturally protect, nourish & moisturize all skin types. CBD improves the skin’s natural defense system and it increases its ability to regenerate cells, alleviating various skin problems.
Topical CBD ensures you get targeted relief in a specific area as the CBD does not enter the bloodstream when applied onto your skin. Cannabinoids are absorbed into the skin and interact with the cannabinoid receptors present in the skin’s immune system.
Topical CBD oil can help ease chronic pain by reducing inflammation as CBD binds with the CB2 receptors in our skin. As CBD will not reach the bloodstream this way, it is best used for localized pain such as arthritis or sore muscles.
Psoriasis is an autoimmune disease characterized by patches of abnormal skin. Topicals infused with cannabinoids can ease psoriasis by reducing the inflammation and slow down skin cell’s growth. Hemp seed oil contains the perfect balance of essential fatty acids Omega 3 and Omega 6 that naturally and effectively nourish and moisturize all skin types. Studies show that CBD can help soothe other symptoms related to dry skin, such as eczema, itching, and pain. Wrinkles and fine lines are more visible if the skin is dry so increased oil production can reduce their appearance.
CBD can be viewed as an adaptogen and as well as providing moisture to the skin, it is also able to balance and stimulate oil production. CBD regulates sebum production and acts against inflammation, responsible for acne.
Topical CBD can also be effective when used on hair, nails or even your lips. There are no documented side effects when using hemp seed oil or CBD oil locally. Some people may be sensitive to certain essential oils present in Full Spectrum CBD extracts and you should discontinue use immediately in the case of hypersensitivity.
