Sensitive Skin – Causes
Sensitive skin is a pretty common condition that causes your skin to be more prone to redness, itchiness, inflammation and pain. It can often be triggered by skincare products, laundry detergent, and even certain materials. Additionally, sensitive skin can be caused by a number of different skin disorders, such as:
Dry skin
One of the most common causes of someone having sensitive skin is dry skin. This can be in specific patches of the body or all over. Although there is no treatment, keeping the skin hydrated with high-quality moisturises and very hydrating oils can help relieve dryness and sensitivity.
Eczema
Atomic dermatitis, often called eczema, is a skin disorder that causes dryness, itchiness and irritation on the skin. Whether you have eczema all over or in certain areas, it can be extremely painful and irritating, making the skin extremely sensitive. Moisturising the skin often is the best way to help relieve symptoms of eczema.
Irritant contact dermatitis
Irritant contact dermatitis is a skin disorder that flares when a layer of the skin is damaged by coming into contact with something irritating, such as certain laundry detergent brands. This is usually shown on the skin by a rash appearing and can be helped by moisturising the affected area with a non-irritating moisturiser or oil.
Although there are many other sensitive skin disorders, the above are the most commonly seen. There is no set treatment, but deep moisturising ingredients designed for sensitive skin can help relieve many of the symptoms.
Why Is Hemp Seed Oil Good For Sensitive Skin?
Hemp seed oil is becoming a popular treatment option to aid with sensitive skin, so let’s take a look at why this miracle plants’ seed’s make the ultimate addition to a sensitive skin routine:
Non-comedogenic – One of the significant factors that come into consideration when looking at using an oil skin care is its comedogenic rating. A comedogenic rating ranges from 0 to 5 on how likely an oil is to clog your pores and cause more irritation.
Hemp seed oil benefits from a comedogenic rating of zero, making it a non-comedogenic oil. Due to this, hemp seed won’t clog your pores and makes it safe for all skin types – including sensitive skin.
Potent anti-inflammatory – Sensitive skin and skin disorders often go hand in hand with plenty of inflammation on the skin. This can make this skin red, irritated, itchy and even painful.
Did you know hemp seed oil is a potent and natural anti-inflammatory? The presence of Gamma-linolenic acid in hemp seed oil contributes to its exceptional anti-inflammatory benefits.
Fragrance-free – Fragrance is one of the biggest things people with sensitive skin have to be aware of when using skincare products. The addition of fragrances can be hazardous to sensitive skin and cause extreme irritation and redness.
Many hemp seed oil products are completely fragrance-free, and many companies like ours have skincare lines especially formulated with sensitive skin in mind – meaning they are fragrance-free!
Incorporating Hemp Into Your Skincare Routine
By far the easiest way is to apply the oil directly to clean skin and leave it on for one to two minutes before washing it away with warm water. Since it’s absorbed into the skin quickly and has a zero comedogenic rating, you don’t need to worry about it making your skin oily.
