Detailed Information
Understanding UV Damage & Sunburn
UV radiation causes direct DNA damage in skin cells, triggering inflammation, redness, and pain. Chronic UV exposure leads to photoaging (wrinkles, age spots) and increases skin cancer risk. Prevention is key, but soothing after-sun care accelerates healing.
How Hemp & CBD Help with Sunburn
Hemp seed oil provides immediate moisturization and its GLA content reduces inflammation. CBD topicals offer powerful anti-inflammatory relief for sunburned skin, reduce redness, and may support DNA repair processes in UV-damaged cells. CBD's antioxidant properties also help neutralize free radicals generated by UV exposure.
Ayurvedic Approach
Ayurveda treats sunburn as a Pitta aggravation. Aloe vera (Kumari), Sandalwood paste (Chandan), Coconut oil, and Rose water are cooling remedies. Sariva (Hemidesmus indicus) taken internally helps cool Pitta and repair sun-damaged skin from within.
