Everyone is jumping on the hemp oil and “anything hemp” bandwagon for some reason. I think it’s the earthy thing to do these days. One of the major products or things we get from hemp is hemp oil. Besides seeing hemp oil in just about everything, one thing getting a lot of attention is hemp lotions. Hemp oil contains tons of great stuff, at least a lot of buzzwords you hear these days like antioxidants.
Apparently hemp seed oil contains large amounts of Linolenic acids, whatever that means, but a lot of folks out there pushing hemp seed oil lotions are the same ones selling it; oddly enough. Some even claim that hemp lotions help sufferers of eczema and psoriasis; which is a pretty bold claim.
Depending on how much you’re into total body wellness, a lot of these hemp fads are just like everything else. However, what if it really works? Well, I thought I’d set out to try these hemp lotions, specifically the hempz brand, and see what I thought. Not only did I set out to try it, but so did my wife who does happen to have psoriasis.
One of the biggest claims is that hemp lotions rehydrate the skin faster then lotions made with traditional oils. Being winter and a hot tub owner, my wife and I are constantly battle dry skin, and we can honestly say, from experience, that the lotion we’ve been using that has hemp seed oil in it, does seem to rehydrate our skin much faster then any other type we’ve used. It hasn’t gotten rid of my wife’s psoriasis, but it has made a difference and keeps it soft and hydrated. I use it every day on the back of my arms before putting on my dress shirt and tie and my skin stays hydrated throughout the entire day.
Although I’m not sure about the antioxidants and linolenic acids, hemp oil lotion does seem to quench our thirsty skin. That’s all I need to know.
