Hello there,
this is a truly 'amazing' post!
I have also recently been using PUKKA hemp seed oil, externely and consuming internely. I suffer 'badly' with Eczema on the face and body, it is not very pleasant!  but after taking hemp seed oil and applying it 'neat' onto my face, i discovered the redness and dryness on my eyelids (due to Eczema) had reduced rapidly! Unfortunetly, my face is in a rather 'bad state' at the moment so im hoping that the hemp seed oil will calm it a little!.. I also would like to reccomend "Barefoot SOS Face&Body Rescue Cream" for Eczema sufferers like myself. It contains all natural ingredients and can be purchased from any natural health store. Thank You and I look forward to hearing some more posts  |

Hi! Thanks for the tip on the Barefoot cream, it contains several ingredients my sensitive skin loves (esp. squalane) so I will try it.  I am currently loving Weleda baby calendula face cream which is has a very short ingredients list, is all natural and super gentle.
Try these scientifically proven remedies for atopic eczema or contact dermatitis:
1. eliminate all sulphate surfactants from your skincare - check face washes, aqueous cream, shower gel, shampoo, hand wash, fabric detergent and dish soap. Even a very dilute solution can irritate: it took me years to realise my elbow eczema patch was aggravated by shampoo running down my arm ...
2. Ensure you have sufficient long chain omega-3s in your diet (DHA & EPA from oily fish or marine algae) as these have powerful anti-inflammatory properties. Whilst diet healthy, seed oils contain primarily inflammatory omega-6s and short chain omega-3s which have a poor 10% conversion rate to the useable long forms. I need 2g per day of EPA & DHA, and notice a difference within a few weeks.
3. Remove all sugars/ syrups and white/ refined carbohydrates from your diet as these are highly inflammatory. Other inflammatory foods include larger portions of meat, saturated (animal) and trans (hydrogenated) fats, vegetable and seed oils high in omega-6s.
Often using an oil or plant butter on eczematous skin will give relief but this is as likely to be due to using it instead of an irritant product OR it acting as a barrier, as it is to be a mystical property of the oil itself.
HTH! |

| Great post, this is seriously the only thing that got me through the hell of Retin A when I first started. I shed all my skin like a sunburned snake when I first started it, it was disgusting. Hemp oil was the only thing hydrating enough. Actually I think this post was the thing that prompted me to go run out an buy it. Thanks!!!! |

Hello!
 I am so pleased to hear that hemp oil solved your skin issues. I've suffered the same problem ever since elementary school. Now in my 20s and have gone through all kinds of acne solutions, I began losing hope. When I was vacationing in Fl, I stopped at a holistic health/head shop called Old City Remedies. The associates were all sooooo nice and very helpful. I told them about my acne problem and the lady had introduced me to Black Soap. Now you can probably get this stuff anywhere but DONT. Some companies may say it is natural/organic.... but read the first ingredients. African black soap generally contains natural ingredients, including the skin of plantains, honey, coconut oil and powder from cocoa pods. It is free of additives found in many soaps, such as animal products, artificial color, fragrance and preservatives.
IT WAS LOVE AT FIRST WASH.
I never really was a believer on natural products or things you can find in your kitchen! its amazing! my face has even felt or looked better. I wash my face with the black soap twice daily and apply hemp oil afterwards. It is the best combo and deff check it out! some things in the kitchen you can use like witch hazel or even cut up some lemon, squeeze the juice and use it for an astringent. Once a week, you can make a black head facial by using equal parts of honey and cinnamon, making a paste. Apply it to your face but it will burn for a couple minutes. If the burning sensation does not go away-- wash it off. Hope I helped |

Just finished reading the entire thread. Sounds amazing.
There are so many skin care oils out there and I find it a bit complicating to navigate through the options.
This thread however is quiet inspiring! I will run to my health food store tonight and see if they carry cold pressed HSO.
thanks everyone! |

My store didn't have a lot of options. I got the Manitoba Harvest brand, Certified Organic Hemp Oil. The oil has a lovely grassy, nutty scent and is green colour.
Made a 50%/50% castor and hemp OCM mix. I have to say, it is rather nice and cleans the pores better than other oil mixes I used so far.
Also, I applied some HSO after cleansing, and it absorbed into the skin with a matte finish (as opposed to sitting on the top of skin with shiny, oily finish.. If that makes sense.) I feel like HSO applied to the skin after cleansing sort of 'melted' the sebum and allowed it to flow. I can see less of it trapped in the pores. Yay!
Still, too early to tell after only 2 days |

| I wonder how this would help my husband who has a blood cancer where his platelet count is really high and that makes him super itchy and drives him crazy. |

That's great to know. I believe it contains a good level of GLA (Gamma Linolenic Acid) which might contribute to its effects on you.
Thanks for posting.
