Pomegranate season is here, and we're already starting to see this delicious fruit in the garden, on our plates, and basically everywhere. Maybe you're not one of those people obsessed with the taste of this vitamin C-packed superfood , which contains more antioxidants than green tea, but I want to tell you why you should be obsessed with including pomegranate seed oil in your daily skincare routine .
Rejuvenates
All good things in life come to an end, and collagen is no exception. Although our bodies produce it naturally, we reach a certain age when production of this protein slows down. However, collagen is responsible for hydrating your skin cells, improving elasticity, and giving us a healthy, youthful glow. Pomegranate seed oil stimulates collagen production and gives you a more youthful appearance.
Keeps your skin clean
Because it's loaded with vitamin C and has natural antimicrobial agents, pomegranates help fight fungi and bacteria that thrive on our skin and can cause acne.
Soothe your skin
Pomegranate seed oil has anti-inflammatory and healing properties that also help reduce inflammation of pimples and rashes.
It protects you
Although I always recommend using sunscreen EVERY DAY, pomegranate oil can help combat the harmful effects of the sun because it has natural blocking agents that provide UV protection to the skin. It also protects against pollutants and toxins and balances our skin's pH.
Shine brighter
It's a wonderful natural moisturizer and provides a natural exfoliation for your skin, helping to slough off dead skin cells. It leaves your skin super soft!
At Blooms and Blends, we choose a fresh pomegranate, crush the seeds, and use the resulting paste to massage into our skin. It's a delight! We also love including it in our products for all the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and rejuvenating effects I mentioned, as I love how it leaves my skin.
