Unless you’ve been living under a rock you must’ve noticed that the beauty industry is rapidly jumping onto the CBD (cannabidiol) trend. Serums, oils, moisturisers and even mascaras are now infused with hemp oil and with good reason. Hemp seed oil has a long list of benefits when it comes to applying it topically. Here are a few of them:
- It balances your skin’s oil production, hence it’s suitable for all skin types.
- It moisturises your skin without blocking your pores.
- Hemp seed oil contains a type of omega 6 fatty acid called gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) which is great for calming down inflammation and redness of the skin.
- Besides being intensely moisturising and soothing, it also has anti-ageing properties that help reduce fine lines and wrinkles.
If you now want to go out there and buy hemp seed oil-infused products, have a look at these amazing products:
