Up your bathing game with these wonderfully sustainable exfoliating wash mitts! Hemp can have many benefits for your skin, including: - Hypoallergenic: Hemp is less likely to cause an allergic reaction than other fabrics. - Antimicrobial: Hemp's natural properties can help prevent bacteria from growing on your skin. - Moisture-wicking: Hemp can absorb up to 20% of its weight in water while still feeling dry. Flaxseed mitts, also known as "flaxseed pillows" or "flaxseed heat packs," offer several potential benefits for skin, primarily due to the warmth and moisturizing properties of the flaxseeds themselves. Here's a breakdown of the potential benefits: - Soothing Sensitivity: The gentle heat from the mitt can help soothe sensitive skin, potentially reducing inflammation and irritation. - Hydration: Flaxseeds, especially when heated, release oils that can help to hydrate the skin, making it appear more plump and youthful. - Improved Skin Smoothness: Applying a warm flaxseed mitt to the face can help to relax skin muscles and promote a smoother appearance. - Potential for Clearer Skin: The anti-inflammatory properties of flaxseed oil can potentially help to alleviate some skin conditions like acne, eczema, and psoriasis. - Reduced Wrinkles and Fine Lines: The antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids in flaxseeds can help to combat free radicals and improve skin elasticity, potentially reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Hemp and flax material are a sustainable choice for bathing accessories and both are fully compostable. When worn out, cut into pieces and put into your compost!
