How is Hemp Seed Oil Beneficial to Our skin?

Hemp Seed Oil has a number of benefits to retrieve by using it topically as well as orally.

It is one of the best moisturizers and anti-inflammatory agents.

Yes, the Gamma-linolenic Acid (GLA) which is one of the Omega-6 fatty acids present in hemp seed oil is a powerful anti-inflammatory and it is said to promote skin growth and new cell generation activity in the body. It is a moisturiser without clogging the pores. With growing age, the skin cell regeneration process slows down, to accommodate the age factor and its effects with proper care and optimum ways, hemp seed oil is an amazing natural ingredient available to us.

It helps lessen and eradicate skin irritations and inflammations caused due to allergies, skin reactions, acne, dry skin and diseases such as psoriasis as well.

It Treats Atopic Dermatitis.

Yes, the fact that it is highly rich in Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids, consumption of these nutritional elements can greatly help skin conditions as severe as atopic dermatitis. A efficacy study of dietary hemp seed oil in patients with atopic dermatitis by a Finland University found that consumption of hemp seed oil in diet reduces the appearance as well as the symptoms of atopic dermatitis within 20 weeks only. Thus it is suggested to use hemp seed oil both orally in regular diet and topically in affected areas in combination regularly.

It Controls and Moderates the Production of Oil.

Indeed, Hemp seed Oil is a natural oil and suits all skin types. As it is a moisturizer that does not cloggs ones pores, whatever may be the skin type it further helps in balancing and maintaining the balance of oil production of skin.

Often overlooked or untold is the fact that dryness or dry skin are the major causes of oil’s overproduction. It is the body's mechanism to fight against dryness. This in turn, stimulates excessive oily skin and further stimulates acne. Since it has anti-clogging properties on skin, it rather helps control, reduce and treat Acne effectively.

It's an Anti-ageing Agent!

To our surprise among all other benefits, this is the one that stands highlighted. Moisturising, anti-inflammatory, soothing and regenerative to skin and anti-ageing. It is potent and helpful in reducing the lines and wrinkles of ageing, toning the skin, slows down skin sagging process and provides a natural glow from within.
