- Dried hemp, particularly when referring to hemp seed oil, provides several benefits for the skin including deep moisturisation, soothing irritation, balancing oil production, reducing signs of aging, and being suitable for most skin types due to its anti-inflammatory properties and high content of essential fatty acids like linoleic acid and oleic acid.
Key benefits of dried hemp on skin: Hydration and moisturising: Hemp oil deeply penetrates the skin, providing intense hydration and alleviating dryness, making it great for dry or flaky skin types.
Anti-inflammatory properties: The fatty acids in hemp oil possess anti-inflammatory effects, which can help soothe irritated skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis, and redness.
Balancing oil production: Despite being rich in oils, hemp seed oil can help regulate sebum production, making it suitable for oily skin as well.
Anti-aging effects: Hemp oil can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles due to its antioxidant content and ability to promote skin cell renewal.
Suitable for sensitive skin: Hemp oil is generally considered hypoallergenic and well-tolerated by sensitive skin types.
- Vitamin E can help maintain and restore moisture, help reduce redness and inflammation, and improve skin texture, making it softer and more supple. Signs of dry skin and irritation can be due to many other reasons, such as lack of hydration or skin disorders.
Grapeseed oil offers numerous benefits for the skin, including moisturisation, antioxidant protection, and potential acne and scar reduction. It is a lightweight, non-greasy oil that absorbs quickly and is suitable for various skin types, even oily skin.
Here's a more detailed look at the benefits:
Moisturising: Grapeseed oil is rich in linoleic acid, an essential fatty acid that helps maintain the skin's moisture barrier, preventing dryness and promoting hydration.
Antioxidant Protection: It contains antioxidants like vitamin E, which can help protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals, potentially slowing down the aging process.
Acne Treatment: Grapeseed oil's anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties can help combat acne breakouts and reduce the appearance of acne scars.
Scar Reduction: The oil's regenerative properties may help lighten scars and dark spots over time.
Reduces Inflammation: Grapeseed oil can help soothe skin irritation and redness, making it beneficial for conditions like eczema and psoriasis.
Non-Comedogenic: It is non-comedogenic, meaning it doesn't clog pores, making it suitable for acne-prone and oily skin types.
