From Farm to Face: Building a Waste Reducing Skincare Routine

I still remember the first time I truly looked at my bathroom shelf. Rows and rows of half-used bottles, fancy jars, and tubes — all different colors, brands, and promises. It was a graveyard of impulse buys and skincare trends I had fallen for over the years.

At that moment, I felt overwhelmed. Despite having so many products, my skin still felt irritated, dry, and confused.

That was the day I decided: There has to be a better way to care for my skin.

Why Hemp Works for My Skin — and My Conscience

When I first tried hemp seed oil on my skin, I was skeptical because you know… OIL.
Some parts of my skin are dry, while others are oily.

But hemp seed oil was different — it was gentle, almost like my skin sighed in relief when I applied it.

Over the next few weeks, I noticed changes:

• The dry patches around my nose started softening.
• My skin felt hydrated without feeling greasy.
• Even my occasional breakouts seemed to calm down.

The Science Behind Hemp:

• Rich in Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids – strengthens the skin barrier.
• Non-comedogenic – moisturizes without clogging pores.
• Just one ingredient – no hidden chemicals, no microplastics, no 12-step routines.

From Farm to Face: My Minimal Ritual

Today, my skincare routine fits in a single jar.
Here’s what I do every evening:

1. Cleanse with intention – I use a simple, homemade soap bar.
2. Nourish with hemp after bath oil – A few drops massaged into damp skin.
   • Doubles as a face moisturizer, body oil, and scalp treatment.
3. Breathe and reflect – I take a moment to thank the farmers and plants that made this ritual possible.

No overflowing shelves.
No plastic bottles piling up.
Just simplicity, powered by nature.

Why It Matters Beyond Skin

When I choose hemp-based skincare, I’m not just caring for myself.
I’m also supporting:

• Regenerative agriculture that gives back to the earth.
• Local farmers who keep traditional, sustainable crops alive.

It feels good to know my skincare is part of a bigger story.
