Hemp Oil and Skin

Today though I want to focus on the benefits of applying hemp oil topically.It’s known as a non-comodogenic, which means that it won’t clog your skin pores, and it’s a humectant which means it draws moisture to the skin.

It’s especially beneficial for acne sufferers.Not only does it help balance out oil production, but it’s calming, and the omega 3 properties can soothe inflamed skin.Use it to replace your night cream, after cleansing your face, rub it into your skin.Use it to remove makeup, simply massage into skin, then wipe off using a damp cloth.
