Hemp Seed Oil High-ly Effective For Beautiful Skin And Legal

Hemp seed oil. Could this be nature's way to beautiful skin?

Don't worry.....you will not get high by topically applying hemp seed oil to your skin. But you might absorb some rich ingredients found in this light textured oil. And, hey....it's legal. In fact, research shows, that hemp seed oil can clear up acne, reduce inflammation, and plump up skin in its nourishing base. Although it's an oil, the hemp seed does not give you the greasies.

So, what's in hemp seed oil?

Hemp seed oil is made up of 80% essential fatty acids. And it contains the ideal ratio of Omega 6 to Omega 3 based on our cell structure needs. Hemp so closely matches our own skins lipids that it is able to penetrate deep inside our cells and lubricate the surface between them, providing a natural moisture balance.

And this is also interesting---Hemp is said to be the only plant oil containing Vitamin D, which is key for calcium absorption. Using hemp seed oil is a smart way to achieve soft, smooth and hydrated skin. And you can also take it in supplement form, if you don't want to apply the oil to your skin.

Hemp seed oil is also on the cheap end. A little goes a long way. And you can wear it under makeup daily to battle an oily face, as well as nourish a dry complexion. The oil dries quickly upon application, and leaves a nice matte finish.
