I was looking through what Perlier had to offer on HSN and they have a new Hemp Oil. Anyone used this oil or any other Hemp oil brands?

Hemp Oil is nothing new. Years ago The Body Shop had a whole line of products based on hemp oil. It's supposed to be very moisturizing. I have never used it, but I did order a facial/body oil product today that contains hemp oil although the fact that it contained hemp oil had nothing to do with why I ordered it. I was just checking the ingredient deck.

Perlier had hemp in their line previously. Colleen had the hemp products as her host pick a few years ago. I think it was a Hemp cuticle cream or oil. My mom used the Bath & Body Hemp, works well as a heel cream for dry cracked feet. Don't know if they still have it available in stores.

Oh I had no idea. Thanks. They have a body and face oil listed. I've been super focused on Argan for the last 5 or more years. I have to research Hemp and it's benefits.

Yes, I tried the hand wash & hand cuticle cream & heel scrub . Yes, the products were nice and moisturizing. They were worth the purcase for me. I bought several sts.

You can get it very cheap on Amazon, organic and cold pressed for less than $15.

@BdBettyB

i have been using CBD hemp oil in various ways for a number of months.

Lately, I have ordered two products from "Beauty in the Raw" (out of Atlanta).

I'm very impressed at the moisturizing capacity of their balm and oil!
My guess is that CBD has some benefits that plain oils and balms do not.

My skin lacks oil these days due to menopause and an autoimmune condition. None of my products on hand do the trick and it looks like I need moisture badly.

The hemp (CBD) oil seems to be just what it needed.

I have used some of those products from The Body Shop plus Sally Beauty.

Just last night I was reading about future skincare with THC in it.

Guess you can make your own if you are able to get what you need in your state to do some DIY.

As I was shopping at Trader Joee's I saw Organic Hemp Seed Snack Bars. I thought I'd give it a try since Hemp is on my mind. Ha!

I was going to mention this also, Perlier to my knowledge was one of the first to bring this to home shopping years ago . Like the previous poster mentioned Coleen raved about the cutical and hand cream. I don't know if HSN thought this was too progresive at the time , for some reason it kind of dissapeared.

You can find 1st cold pressed oils that are much more reasonably priced. I used Garden of Wisdom's hemp oil a while ago, which I really, really liked - over and above some others that I tried.

Since oils are so popular now, but do have a shelf life, just buy 1 or 2 ounces at a time and replenish when needed. I always mix a drop (currently rose hip seed) w/ my moisturizer, sometimes with a hand cream.

Are there supposed to be special benefits of using hemp over other oils? Last summer at an outdoor fair, I purchased 2 tubes of a locally made hemp oil hand cream. I liked it - it was very moisturizing - but I never did any research on it or buy it again.

Different oils have different breakdowns of linoleic and linolenic acids, other acids & vitamins. Each has their different properties, but they all have similarities, too.

Minimilist Beauty demonstrates that certain oils are better for certain skin types.

It's just like vegetables....they are all vegetables, but some are green, some yellow, etc. When all is said and done, you eat those you like best.

Thanks for trying, @Harpa, but huh? you know, when ladies here start talking ingredients and properties, my brain starts singing "It's a Small World Afterall" and my eyes roll uncontrollably.

Hemp is kinda newish - it's trendy and everyone's buzzing about it. Is it really better? I really do need to read up on it.

@Harpa- Thanks! Sounds good - almost the same as ceramides in that it reduces skin discomfort by restoring dry or damaged skin and increases the natural moisture retention capacity. Maybe I should buy hemp oil by the case!

@tototwo

I know you were asking which one is better. Many of these oils act the same, even with their different compositional makeup. Unless you have problematic skin, then I think you need more discretion in choosing one...or some combination.

Didn't you say that you were oily? A hazelnut oil might be better suited for you.

tototwo — Wed, 20 Nov 2019 12:41:06 GMT

Yes, @Harpa, my complexion is still very oily at 70 yrs old. I sometimes use a Vit C serum that contains Rose Hip Oil, but otherwise, I avoid oils on my face. I do use oils on my body, especially during winter. I'm going to look for a hemp oil lotion or cream in local stores. Thanks for all the information.

@Harpa

Thank you for that specific info concerning hemp seed oil.

What is happening to my skin appears to be a process that involves misadventures of my body's T cells.

It is thought that LP (which is what i have going on) can occur because of triggers such as wearing products all the time on the skin ...sunscreen and makeup. Apparently, for this reason more women than men get this condition. All of this reasoning is pure theory right now in the literature.

I am finding that my skin responds best to fresh, natural products (such as oils) and even handmade products.

I am figuring hemp oil would be one of these types of products. Wouldn't it have more of the vitamins as actives if it was fresh?
