Hemp has gotten a bad rap over the years: it's either considered too granola or mistaken for marijuana, despite being free of the high-inducing property of THC. But a new reputation is being forged, thanks to the myriad skin benefits of hemp oil. Rich in hydrating omega-3, omega-6 and omega-9 fatty acids, it's said to help quell inflammation, banish acne, regulate natural oils and soothe skin.
