Hemp Benefits for Anti-aging

I'm not talking about the kind of hemp that's smoked but the kind that's rubbed. Did you know that hemp seed oil is rich in anti-oxidants, protein, vitamins and minerals? It can be used in hair care products, skin lotions and lip balm. And it's all legal because there's no THC, the chemical that produces a high.

A reader of my blog recently sent me samples of Hemperor. A divine smelling body lotion that contains hemp seed oil and a blend of vitamins and herbs that go beyond just moisturizing. It's a skin firming and anti-aging product. It's not heavy but super moisturizing with extra anti-aging benefits.

I'm always looking to learn how to shop for the best products in skin care and want to pass this information along. I found it on http://www.sunsauce.com/.
  • Sweet almond oil is used in many cosmetic products because it is rich in protein and can help reduce irritation and inflammation of the skin. It is effective on eczema, psoriasis and relieves dry, itchy and inflamed skin. This rich oil penetrates, moisturizes and restructures your skin.
  • Monoi oil is coconut oil refined to a cosmetic grade with a fragrance extracted from tropical flowers. It can be used as a facial moisturizer, as well as an all over body moisturizer. Monoi oil is the closest oil in nature to the oils found in your scalp and skin.
  • Chamomile extract contains active essential oil compounds, which are great for sensitive skin. This calming extract helps prevent blackheads and acne as well as soothe, soften and moisturize skin.
  • Ginseng extract is very popular because of its anti-aging benefits. It is especially beneficial for the skin because it enables the delivery of water and nutrients to the skin to improve tone and firmness.
  • Ginseng extract revitalizes and conditions the skin creating a healthy glow.
  • Comfrey extract is often used in cell therapy treatments; face creams and sun care preparations as a healing agent and moisturizer. This anti- inflammatory extract will also promote skin cell regeneration.
Here's hemp to your health and beauty.
