Whether you are new to skincare or are a seasoned professional, you are guaranteed to come across the many uses and benefits of pomegranate oil. But what exactly is it good for?
Pomegranates are a Mediterranean superfruit packed with delicious seeds filled with versatile oils, holding rich antioxidants, potent fatty acids, polyphenol and much more. These offer a range of benefits for the skin, including support for healthy aging, managing inflammation, offering UV protection, and containing antimicrobial properties. As such, to say that pomegranates are good for you is quite an understatement!To explore this in more detail, here are just a few of the truly amazing uses to demonstrate what you can enjoy from a pomegranate-infused beauty routine.
The Anti-Aging Benefits of Pomegranate
When considering what pomegranate is good for, look no further than the astonishing effect it has on the healthy appearance of our skin. Packed with incredible anti-aging properties, pomegranates contain high levels of vitamin A, which actively works to support skin repair and cell regeneration, promoting youthful skin, boosting collagen and elastin production, and softening the texture of the skin’s surface.Thanks to their strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, the oil from these wonder seeds helps to reduce signs of aging like wrinkles and dark spots to provide a lively, even complexion.
UV Protection Benefits of Pomegranate
We all love a bit of sunshine, but extensive UV rays can cause premature aging and serious damage to our skin. Did you know, however, that pomegranates are also good for your skin, even when you’re out and about? As one of the best uses of pomegranate oil is to combat the damaging effects of the sun.Thanks to its superfood properties, pomegranates provide a boost in UV protection, including photo-ageing. They also contain ellagic acid, which inhibits the destruction of collagen, all while preventing the appearance of hyper-pigmentation and age spots. When paired with an effective sunscreen, the oil from those little pomegranate seeds offers your skin the benefits of full sun protection, keeping your skin healthy so you don’t have to worry!
Rich in Antioxidants, Pomegranate is an Ideal Ingredient for Fighting Free Radicals
Free radicals are roaming particles that we encounter each day, and given their unique chemical make-up, they can greatly contribute to premature aging and poor skin quality.Fortunately, pomegranate seeds are naturally high in antioxidants, which means another of their many uses can be in helping to protect the skin’s barrier, keeping it safe from free radicals like environmental pollutants, which would otherwise cause damage to our healthy cells. Adding a healthy dose of oil from pomegranate seeds to your skincare routine can therefore make a huge difference to your overall skin health.
Perfect for Moisture Repair, Pomegranate has Several Hydrating Benefits
Healthy skin is hydrated skin, which is why pomegranate juice is one of the world’s most beloved skincare ingredients. Filled with punicic acid, pomegranate oil helps to prevent moisture loss, keeping the skin barrier strong as well as adding a glowing complexion and anti-inflammatory support. This, plus the presence of other rich fatty acids, provides a variety of benefits to the skin, such as soothing dry, cracked or irritated areas.Finding regular uses for pomegranate (made easier with pomegranate-infused skincare products) allows the seeds’ oil to penetrate deeply into the skin, ensuring that it is a long-lasting and effective remedy for all skin types that are in desperate need of hydration.
