Hemp to be beautiful? Why not. But not just any and not just anyhow. We tell you everything about the art and the way of the one who wants you the greatest good to shine.
The little story…
Hemp covers several varieties, including cannabis. It is one of the first plant species to have been domesticated in the Neolithic period in Asia, before spreading to all continents for multiple purposes: to weave fibers and produce resistant textiles, for the insulation of habitats, and of course, to relieve pain and enrich cosmetics. The famous printer Gutenberg even made the first Bible with hemp paper. That is to say if this innocent plant, with its characteristic slender and serrated leaves, was in the odor of sanctity! When it is smoked, its recreational use ended up arousing a lot of mistrust, leading to its prohibition for the general public in the 20th century in many countries. Its reintroduction into the pharmacopeia to soothe pain resistance to other treatments has recently been the subject of debate, and the green light was only given very recently in France. And in beauty? The use of a particular variety of hemp, cannabis Sativa, is much less controversial for the greater good of our skin and our hair.
Hemp oil, a faithful beauty ally
Regenerating, revitalizing, softening, anti-inflammatory… Hemp oil has many qualities for the skin and hair. But how to choose it well? To ensure the best quality before buying your Swiss legal CBD oil, check the origin of the hemp plants. Some manufacturers choose to buy low-quality hemp to process into CBD oil. Be careful because this hemp can be polluted with heavy metals.
Wonderful cosmetic virtues
It is mainly the plant’s seeds, rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids, amino acids, vitamins (A, B, E), minerals, and proteins, which are used in cosmetics. An excellent oil is extracted from it, which turns out to be moisturizing, nourishing, very soothing, healing, and anti-aging. Perfect after exposure to the sun, a walk in the drying wind, and simply against the effects of time. It was enough for hemp to invite itself into our day and night creams and other regenerating masks or comforting balms, not to mention hygiene products. Hemp is also a health ally thanks to its Omega-3 and Omega-6 content, which contribute to the balance of the cardiovascular system.
Home recipe
A regenerating face mask
Pure hemp seed oil, readily available at low prices in organic stores, would be enough on its own for the beauty of skin and hair. But you can mix it with creamy and refreshing honey (1 tablespoon of each). Enough to give the preparation the right consistency for a face mask and increase its regenerating power. Leave on for 10 minutes and rinse well.
