Hemp Oil And Skin - How Can It Benefit The Skin?

According to studies of recent years, the molecules and chemicals found in hemp oil can significantly benefit skin’s health.

Some of the most important skin problems treated with hemp oil include wrinkles, dryness, acne, various inflammatory skin diseases and infections.

But let us look into all the above in more detail.

Dry skin

Hemp oil, especially hemp seed oil, is rich in unsaturated fats such as linoleic acid, γ-linolenic acid and α-linolenic acid.

These three fatty acids can help improve the structure of the skin, helping it to retain its moisture. They also have a beneficial effect on dry, rough skin and can affect cell membrane fluidity and electrolyte transport.

A 2017 study found that applying an emulsion containing hemp seed oil helped significantly hydrate the skin of the majority of participants.

Also as hemp oil contains omega-3 and 6 fatty acids it fights rough, scaly skin that is found mainly in people with omega deficiency.

Acne and acne scars

Hemp oil contains compounds with anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties that can help treat acne.

Studies in both mice and human cells have shown that chemical compounds in cannabis oil, such as cannabidiol better known as CBD, can also help improve acne scars by reducing healing time, boosting collagen levels and stimulating processes such as renaissance cycle.

Inflammatory skin diseases

Hemp oil contains antioxidants and powerful anti-inflammatory compounds, such as fatty acids, which can help reduce the symptoms associated with inflammatory skin conditions, such as itching and pain.

A 2014 study concluded that the application of hemp oil can be beneficial in addressing the following:

✅ eczema

✅ atopic dermatitis

✅ seborrheic dermatitis

✅ varicose eczema

✅ psoriasis

✅ smooth lichen (lichen planus)

✅ rosacea

Anti-aging - Firming Action

According to a 2015 article, cannabis oil can reverse as well as prevent the signs associated with aging. More specifica lly, it contains natural compounds that offer

✅ toning and regeneration of the skin

✅ improve elasticity and firmness

✅ reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines

✅ reduce dull skin and improve skin’s radiance

✅ moisture retention

✅ increase collagen production

✅ reduction of oxidative stress and free radicals that in the long run cause wrinkles and fine lines

Infections

Hemp oil contains antimicrobial compounds and antioxidants that help strengthen the skin's natural barrier, making it harder for germs to enter the skin and cause infection or disease.
