What is Acne?

Signs and symptoms of Acne

1. Pimples: Red, raised bumps on the skin that may be tender to the touch.
2. Blackheads: Small, black or dark-coloured bumps on the skin that are caused by clogged hair follicles.
3. Whiteheads: Small, white or flesh-coloured bumps on the skin that are also caused by clogged hair follicles.
4. Papules: Small, red, raised bumps on the skin that are not filled with pus.
5. Pustules: Red, tender bumps on the skin that are filled with pus.
6. Cysts: Large, painful, deep-seated bumps on the skin that are filled with pus and can lead to scarring.

Potential benefits of using Hemp skincare for Acne

1. Anti-inflammatory: Hemp oil has anti-inflammatory properties that can help calm inflamed and irritated skin. This can be particularly beneficial for those with acne, which is often accompanied by redness and inflammation.
2. Non-comedogenic: Hemp oil is non-comedogenic, meaning it won’t clog pores. This makes it a good option for those with acne-prone skin who are looking for a moisturizer or facial oil that won’t contribute to breakouts.
3. Moisturizing: Hemp oil is a natural moisturizer that can help hydrate and soothe dry, irritated skin without clogging pores.
4. Antioxidant: Hemp oil contains antioxidants, such as vitamin E, that can help protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals. This can help reduce the appearance of acne scars and hyperpigmentation.
