1. Anti-aging benefits: A diet high in pomegranate juice can
help to slow down the process of ageing by reducing wrinkles and fine lines on
the face caused by constant exposure to sun. It also helps to sustain the
regeneration of the skin cells and prevent hyper pigmentation and occurrence of
dark spots.
2. Suited for all skin types: Pomegranate juice works wonders for
dry skin. Its small molecular structure penetrates deeply into the skin to
provide ample moisturisation and hydration to the skin. Thus it soothes dry and irritated skin. Its
content of punicic acid, an omega 3 fatty acid keeps the skin constantly
hydrated by sealing in the moisture. Pomegranate juice is beneficial for oily
and pimple prone skin too. Application of pomegranate juice on oily skin
prevents the outbreak of pimples and controls the production of sebum.
3. Helps to heal scars: Pomegranate helps in the regeneration
of cells in the epidermal and dermal layers of the skin. It has an ability to
hasten the process of healing of wounds. Even the oil of pomegranate seeds is
loaded with skin friendly nutrients which are beneficial for the strengthening
and regeneration of the epidermis. It also protects the skin from sun burns and
heals the damage caused to the skin due to constant exposure to the sun.
4. Improves the texture of skin: Pomegranates are also known to extend
the life of fibroblasts which are responsible for the production of collagen
and elastin that tighten the skin and prevent the formation of fine lines and
wrinkles. Collagen and elastin provide strength and support to the skin. When
the fibers of collagen and elastin break down, the skin develops laxity which
causes wrinkles and jowl. Pomegranate is also very useful for lightening the
skin tone. Drinking a glass of pomegranate juice daily gives a fair and glowing
skin tone.
5. Pomegranate face mask for glowing
skin: Mix1 teaspoon
each of powdered green papaya, grape seed oil, and grape seed extract with2
teaspoons of pomegranate juice and apply it on the face. Leave it on for about
an hour and wash it off with lukewarm water.
You can also
us a cotton ball to apply pomegranate juice directly on the face after
cleansing.
6. Prevents skin cancer: Pomegranate contains anthocyanins and
hydrolysable tannins which possess strong anti-oxidant and anti-tumor promoting
properties. When applied directly on the skin, ellagic acid, a polyphenol
antioxidant found in pomegranates inhibits the growth of cancer of the skin.
