About Natural Pomegranate Skin Care

By Laura Wright


Consumers spend millions of dollars on facial products that contain antioxidants. Antioxidants (substances found in foods and minerals) help the human body prevent cellular damage that 'free radicals' (incomplete molecules in the bloodstream) cause, especially as we age. You will see Vitamin C, A, and E highlighted on product labels, and the antioxidant prowess of 'super-fruits' praised. Natural pomegranate skin care is one such product category. What makes these products stand out is their effectiveness.

Pomegranates are ancient fruits prized for their sweet, tart flavor and dramatic ruby-red appearance. Modern research has identified powerful antioxidants and extremely beneficial fatty acids in the seeds and rind. In fact, this fruit is a true super food.

Puniclagin is the most plentiful free-radical fighter in the seeds. This powerhouse makes pomegranates rank above cranberries, red wine, grapes, green tea, and acai. Other nutrients, like Vitamin C and K, carotenes, and fiber, mean that this fruit is good for many health conditions, as well as a topical rejuvenator for the skin. The fiber content helps people control their weight, while the dense nutrition is good for those who are limiting their food intake.

Both the seeds and the thick rind contain a fatty acid called punicic acid. The oil is thick and rich. It can be used directly on the skin, but it's heaviness makes it work better when it is diluted in a carrier oil like jojoba or coconut. A few drops of this oil diluted in a lighter one can be smoothed over face and neck to even out redness, tighten and firm the face and throat, and combat fine lines and wrinkles. It is often found in under-eye serums or creams.

Since some consumers want the convenience of a prepared formula and like a cream better than an oil, there are many successful creams and lotions on the market. This fruit is a popular ingredient in the purest, cleanest, most chemical-free lines. Day and night creams, under-eye firming drops, serums, and all-body moisturizers are available.

This super food is said to be superior at fighting the aging effects of free radicals. These harmful molecules are plentiful in sun-damaged skin. The plant extracts have been shown to sooth damaged skin, lower inflammation, moisturize deeply, and help prevent tumor growth. They also minimize age spots and fine lines.

Millions of customers believe that these claims are true, and in fact research supports them. The juice and oil are known to promote the production of collagen and elastin, two substances the body produces that keep skin firm and tight. They also boost cell regeneration and tissue repair.

Some of the most natural, purest manufacturers in the industry use pomegranates as a main ingredient of their face creams and body care products. The extracts and oils work on dry, oily, or combination skins and can both help prevent problems or roll back the clock if necessary.
