What are Hemp Seeds and Why Aren’t They More Widely Used in Skincare?

3 Comments / Natural Beauty, Skin Care / By Amanda

Hemp is a plant that is a variety of the cannabis sativa plant species. Hemp is mainly grown for its widely used side products.

Hemp seeds have been dubbed as a “super food” because it is widely regarded as the most nutritious seed in the world. Hemp seeds have the perfect balance of protein, essential fats, vitamins and enzymes but have a relatively small concentration of sugars, saturated fats and starches. Because of this hemp seeds have numerous health benefits. According to one research, after 3 months of including hemp seeds in their diets, participants found the following differences in their health:

Reduced cholesterol and blood pressure with a significant reduction in the possibility of a stroke
Reduction in inflammation
Speedier recovery from disease and injury
A significant improvement in blood circulation. Diabetics found their feet less discolored and warmer
A strengthened immune system with a reduced likelihood of cardiovascular disease.

Not only do the consumption of hemps seeds have amazing health benefits, but they are also used in skin care. Hemp seeds are used in an oil form and has great benefits for the skin. It is made by compressing hemp seed and contains essential Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids as well as antioxidants and vitamins A & E that is very beneficial for the skin.

It is important to note that while hemp is used to make cannabis, the use of hemp seeds and hemp seed oil is not counted as “drug use” and will not cause you to fail any known drug test.

Here are the 3 Main Uses of Hemp Oil for Skin Care:

Cure for Skin Conditions: Hemp seed oil is very effective for skin conditions such as rashes and eczema. Hemp seed oil’s soothing properties helps stop the rash from spreading. If your skin condition persists, please visit a doctor.
Cure for Acne: Hemp seed oil is an amazing cure for acne prone skin. Add a few drops of neem oil, which can be found at any drugstore, and together with the hemp seed oil, they help heal acne scars and remove dark spots left after a pimple fades away.
Oil Cleansing: Hemp seed oil does wonders to unclog the pores in your skin and thoroughly cleanse it. One of the main reasons for acne and oily skin is that our pores are clogged that build up oil which leads to acne. It is important that you thoroughly cleanse your skin especially after wearing heavy makeup or when your skin was exposed to the sun for too long.

However, hemp seeds are very expensive because of the politics surrounding the plant. The hemp plant is used to make cannabis. Before the twentieth century, hemp was widely used in most parts of the world. However, during the twentieth century the United States and Western Europe banned cannabis and hemp, which led most other countries in the world to ban it as well.

Due to the controversy surrounding hemp, hemp seeds are often ignored when it comes to skincare. Besides that, due to the scarcity of hemp seeds and hemp oil, they are very expensive to buy.

This combination works best and I have personally recommended to many of my friends.

Jojoba oil is also great while using against a sensitive skin or aged skin. By using cosmetics, the skin may become rough and very sensitive, while facing such conditions you should definitely give jojoba oil a try. Not only it sooths the skin but also reduces the wrinkles and leaves a very pleasing fragrance. Using jojoba oil is a very relaxing skin care method. You can also use it as a natural skin moisturiser, it is not greasy and blends very well with the skin. So yeah jojoba oil does have multiple advantages.

As mentioned earlier, one of the great thing about jojoba oil is that it suits many skin type. I personally who have shown an allergic reaction to certain oils like coconut oil, almond oil or olive oil. So if these mentioned oils have not worked for you then you should definitely give jojoba oil a try.

Using jojoba oil: –

⇔ Skin moisturiser – to use as a natural moisturiser use 2 to 3 drops during the daytime and about 4 to 5 drops during the night-time to get a natural shiny look and also cools your skin.

⇔ On hair – Organic Jojoba oil can be used to get healthy hair. It gives a very shiny texture to the hair and get the smoothness you desire for. Apply 7 to 8 drops of oil directly to your hair, massage it well, this will help to keep your head cool and your hair healthy. Likewise, you can also use it is a conditioner, all you need to do is add a few drops of jojoba oil along with the shampoo and let it wash your hair.

⇔ As a lip gloss – Jojoba oil can also be used as a natural lip gloss, take very small quantity like a drop or so and dap it on your lips. Not only use them closely look but also reduces the flakes on your lips.

Jojoba oil is one of my favourite oil. Instead of the greasy look like many other oils jojoba oil gives a very non relaxing nongreasy feel. I really believe you should incorporate jojoba oil in your daily life.

40 Comments / Natural Beauty, Natural Remedies, Skin Care / By Amanda

Today on OiB, I’m going to tell you about essential oils. The first question in your mind would be, why are they important for you? Let me tell you. They are so important for you and your health because they are organic and natural without the toxic elements found in mainstream home products.

Nature is the best remedy and that’s what I believe in. Without much ado, Let’s go through the best essential oils for you to have for your home:

Lavender

It is the most versatile essential oil and that’s why it tops my list. What it does? In two words, it is great for skin care. It will relax your body, heals bruises and cuts, and also cures skin irritation.

That’s not the only great part. Its aroma is so refreshing that it makes you feel as if you are in a garden surrounded by beautiful blossoms.

With the use of DIY lavender home-made products, you will be physically and mentally relaxed which will help to get energy for the things you really need to do. Also, very useful to help you fall asleep.

What Lavender Oil heals?

Skin rashes
Pimples
Headaches
Burns caused by insect bites
Small burns
Cuts and scrape

As I always say about lavender, it does a magic – hard to believe unless experienced.

What it Cures?

To relieve cough, you can make a DIY mixture with eucalyptus, carrier oil and peppermint. Two drops of oil can be used to appease overheated feet.

Eucalyptus Oil

The benefits of eucalyptus oil are wide-ranging. It is widely used as an organic deodorant. Follow below to know which conditions it cures.

Asthma
Chest congestion
Pain and aches of joints
Inflammation

It accelerates healing process.

Clove Oil

Clove oil is used in dental products. It is very strong so be careful and dilute it first before use.

What Clove Oil Cures?

Toothaches
Gum disease
Burns and wounds
Ear aches

I use it mostly for dental purposes, but it can also be used to repel bugs. Just add a few drops to a diffuser to repel bugs from your home.

As it is really concentrated, I don’t recommend its use for sensitive skins.
