Confused about what hemp is and how to use it? Get on board with the hemp craze because this holistic beauty substance is going to transform your hair, skin, and nails.

What Is Hemp?

Hemp is part of the cannabis family, but it contains very minimal amounts of THC, so it is impossible to get a “high” from hemp. Hemp does contain CBD, which is a chemical compound recognized for its anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. Hemp oil can be consumed and applied externally, and it is high in calcium, magnesium, antioxidants, and healthy fats.

Hemp Oil For Your Skin

Hemp oil is beneficial for acne-prone skin and will help neutralize the sebum that leads to breakouts. Massage the oil into the skin for best results. If you have oily skin, you may want to try Milk Makeup’s Roll + Blot. These blotting papers are made with hemp oil to better absorb oil on the skin.

Hemp oil is also a great moisturizer. You can use a facial oil that is made with hemp to even out soften your skin and boost moisture. In addition to moisturizing your skin, hemp will also make your skin supple and strong. Pair that hemp oil with vitamin C for ultimate skin texture and softness.

If you have any cuts or blemishes, you can also use a high-quality cold pressed hemp oil to relieve them.

Hemp Oil For Your Hair
