We won’t get too into it, but if you want to get the full low-down on the benefits of hemp seed oil for the skin! Without further ado, here are your three new favourite homemade hemp skincare products that you can make at home with Hemp Seed Oil!

Make Your Own Hemp Clay Face Mask

Hemp seed oil is perfect for most skin types as it can moisturise without clogging your pores. It can even help balance out oily skin by hydrating it and regulating the skin's oil production.

We also include lavender oil because it reduces the appearance of blotchy skin and redness, soothes the skin, and works general wonders for irritation.

The Apple Cider Vinegar in the masks is a well-known potion that comes from fermented apple cider. When fermented, the cider becomes acetic acid, which has a fantastic ability to stave off germs that can cause acne.

We then use mineral-loaded Bentonite clay for the mask to bring it all together, which offers calcium, magnesium, silica, sodium, copper, iron, and potassium; thus, you could quickly call it food for the skin.

Not only does it enrich your skin with nutrients, but it also can draw out unwanted toxins and acne-causing sebum, which is a primary cause of acne breakouts.

Here’s how you make it...

INGREDIENTS

2 tbsp bentonite clay

3 drops lavender

¼ tsp apple cider vinegar

Rosewater or distilled water (as needed)

1 tsp hemp seed oil

INSTRUCTIONS

Mix the hemp seed oil and rosewater with bentonite clay until it forms a smooth, wet paste.

Once that is done, add the other ingredients.

Apply the mask on your face, excluding your eyes and mouth.

Leave on until it hardens.

Wash off with warm water.

Note: We love to add Turmeric powder too, or can use it to replace clay if wish.

Massage Oils - DIY Hemp Skincare

Massage has many benefits, including improving circulation, easing tension, and stimulating the body to release toxins. And when massage is combined with aromatherapy, a happy synergy happens. The mind and body benefits of essential oils definitely enhance the benefits of massage.

In general, you need a carrier oil blend to mix with essential oils, which will then constitute the massage oil. We recommend Hemp Seed Oil and Sunflower because both are non-greasy oils and easily acquired.

As always, after diluting the essential oils in a carrier oil, be sure to do a patch test on a small section of skin to ensure you do not have an allergic reaction to any of these oils before slathering them on the body or face.

Carrier Oil Blend

* 4 tbs hemp seed oil

* 4 tbs sunflower oil

Essential Oil Blends (to be mixed with the carrier oil blend)

*only use approx 10/12 drops per carrier oil blend

...Ingredients for Head & Neck Massage

6 drops peppermint essential oil

4 drops rosemary essential oil

Massage ½ teaspoon into temples and at the base of the neck to invigorate and enhance concentration.

Ingredients for Foot Massage

10 drops Roman chamomile or lavender essential oil

Mix together with base oil. 

Pour a small amount into hands and massage into feet to relieve tension from the day

Ingredients for Hand Massage

3 drops neroli essential oil

2 drops frankincense essential oil

2 drops of bergamot essential oil

2 drops sweet orange essential oil

1 drop sandalwood essential oil

Give your hardworking hands a little TLC with this blend that will soothe and nourish your skin.

Store in a dark bottle or jar, refrigerate for longer shelf life. Shake well before each use. Pour about 1 teaspoon into your hands and gently massage into the skin.
