Fall Beauty Guide

Our Fave Picks for Healthy, Natural Beauty

The marvelous hemp plant—a true gift from Mother Nature for countless reasons. For over ten thousand years this amazing plant has been utilized for a variety of purposes from making strong ropes to being a key composite in biodiesel fuel. Hemp oil is also a long kept beauty secret, because of its healing power and anti-aging properties. It is known for promoting new cell growth once it penetrates deep into the skin because it is packed with essential fatty acids. For these reasons and more, hemp is an ingredient that is used in a variety of beauty products. With fall approaching, we’re going to share with you some of our favorite hemp-based products you can use to make your season all the more beautiful.

SKIN:

The Body Shop offers an entire line of hemp skin care products that serve as hydration for the driest of skin. The Hemp Hand Protector paired with the Hemp Face Protector will keep overexposed sun-kissed skin from becoming more damaged. These hemp based products have soothing, hydrating and skin protecting properties. Composed of all natural ingredients, the skin on your hands and face will feel more flexible and firm than ever before after just a couple uses. This all-natural product is known to reverse any harm caused by synthetic chemicals found in most beauty products, causing you to glow with radiance. www.thebodyshop-usa.com

Our friends at Earthly Body have exactly what you’re looking for with all types of Hemp-based cruelty free products to keep your skin smooth, hair shiny and tattoos healed. One product that we recommend is their Miracle Oil, which truly holds up to its name. This Miracle Oil has the ability to treat even the most uncomfortable skin conditions, known to heal cuts, insect bites, sunburn, scars and more. The ingredients in this miracle oil cause it to be a natural antiseptic, as well as an anti-inflammatory for most types of skin-related ailments. www.earthlybody.com

There is nothing more uncomfortable and obnoxious than dealing with razor burn—for men or for women! You don’t have to worry any longer, because Bottega della Canapa’s Hemp and Almond Oil After Shave Oil is ideal for bringing a little relief to your skin following a shave. Utilizing the natural healing power of hemp oil, this after shave serum will moisturize the most sensitive of skin. Not to mention, it will leave your skin not only un-irritated, but deeply moisturized and silky smooth. Once again, we love this product because it is not tested on animals. hempology.co.uk

LIPS:

Hemp Organics brings us the latest and greatest in lip color. They have a line of Lipstick, Lip Liners, Lip Tints and Lip Gloss that use mineral pigments that are natural and reflect colors you’d find in Mother Nature herself. These USDA Certified Organic beauty products each come in a large assortment of vibrant and subtle colors, matching the skin tone of each individual. Not only known for enhancing natural beauty, this line of lip care will also deeply moisturize your lips and keep them from cracking. www.colorganics.net

Dr. Bronner’s is known for their hemp skin care products. Our personal favorite is their collection of Organic Lip Balms. They use USDA Certified Organic Ingredients, because as they say, “ . . . what you put on your lips goes in your body.” They have four flavors to choose from: Organic Ginger, Peppermint, Lemon Lime and Naked. We recommend the Peppermint, because like their soap, not only does it smell delicious, but it leaves your skin feeling tingly, as if you just sucked on a candy cane. If you love the lip balm, feel free to try one of their other amazing products. www.drbronner.com
