Using hemp oil is, by far, the best thing I've ever done for my face. Specifically, using hemp oil as a cleanser is the best thing I've ever done for my face. I've never had a huge problem with acne, but like most other young adults, I've always gotten the odd pimple here or there and have had trouble with certain areas of my face. The biggest challenge I've had is knowing how to keep zits in my oily zones (my nose and chin) at bay. My chin, especially, has always been prone to developing those huge, red, shiny, dome-shaped zits. It seemed like I always had at least one zit on my chin or zits underneath the surface of my skin that were just waiting to erupt (and they eventually did). All I could do was deal with the aftermath; I could never prevent them.I'm in my mid 20s and have known about the oil cleansing method (OCM) since I was a teenager, but I could never wrap my head around the idea of never, ever using soap on my face and replacing soap with oil. Why would I wash my face with something that was the cause of all my skin problems? Wouldn't that just make it worse? That's been my thinking all of these years until, with education, I finally came to understand the chemistry behind OCM (using oil to dissolve oil). I chose hemp seed oil and sunflower seed oil (the high linoleic acid variety) because I'd read that they are excellent for people who are acne-prone, as they have a very low likelihood of clogging pores. After trying OCM with the latter oils for the first time three months ago, I'm only angry that I didn't start sooner.In the three months since I've started cleansing with hemp and sunflower seed oil, I have not had a single pimple. I've purchased other products that have helped keep my acne in check (mainly Stridex in the red box), but I would still get zits here or there. OCM with hemp and sunflower seed oil has eliminated my acne issues altogether. I can get up each day knowing that I won't see a zit staring back at me when I look in the mirror. My skin is always soft, supple, and glowing. I oil cleanse twice a day - once in the morning and again before bed. I suspect that my skin has always been dehydrated, hence my skin's need to produce a ton of oil. Cleansing with this oil actually keeps oil production at bay without dehydrating my skin, which in turn keeps the zits away.The only negative things I can say about hemp oil are that it smells like grass and seems to go bad quickly if it's not refrigerated. The smell is more of an annoyance than anything else since it's gone once I've wiped the oil from my face. The short shelf-life issue is easily solved by setting aside a small quantity of oil to be used up in a short period of time, while refrigerating that remainder of the bottle. These inconveniences are a small price to pay for the amazing things that this oil has done for my skin.
