Aging is a natural phenomenon which everyone is supposed to go through. Though, we can’t reverse it, but we can delay the process of aging to a certain extent and going natural is one of the best ways to do that.
Pomegranate – The Miracle Food For Anti Aging For Your Skin
Researchers have found out the following about this fruit.
Pomegranate helps to slow down the ageing of DNA in addition to prevention of heart diseases and stress relief. It has anti-oxidant properties which helps in the anti-ageing process.
Here are top 5 ways in which you can use pomegranate for anti-aging for your skin.
1. Face Mask
Ingredients: Pomegranate juice, clay or multani mitti, essence oil (optional)
Application: Mix all the ingredients in a bowl and the consistency should be paste like. Apply the mixture all over your face and let it sit for 15-20 minutes. For best results, use it once a week.
Why this works: It replenishes the shine and moisture in your skin and soothes out the skin reducing the probability of wrinkles. The clay or multani mitti helps to tighten the skin.
Tip: While taking out the juice of pomegranates, do not strain the grains which come across.
2. Scrub
Ingredients: Pomegranate seeds
Application: Crush the seeds to a good paste like mixture and scrub it on. Using this in the natural form is the best option.
Why this works: The seeds have natural oils and are gritty enough to exfoliate your face. This scrub prevents saggy skin.
Tip: Make sure you use a mild cleanser immediately after that so that your face doesn’t remain sticky.
3. Cleanser
Ingredients: Pomegranate Juice
Application: Take some pomegranate juice, dilute it a little bit and make sure there are no gritty seed particles left in there. Take the juice, massage it on your face and clean it with cold water.
Why this works: Using a same product regularly helps the skin to maintain itself and shows results in the long run from deep within by vanishing the wrinkles.
Tip: You may add a couple of drops of any essential oil of your preference for additional benefits.
4. DIY Toner
Ingredients: Pomegranate Juice and Apple cider vinegar.
Application: After getting done with your normal skin care routine (which doesn’t include any pomegranate), indulge in a pomegranate mixed with apple cider vinegar toner.
Take very small proportions of both the liquids, preferably 4 drops of each. Mix them using your fingers and tap the mixture on your face while looking up. Let your skin absorb the mixture for a couple of minutes.
Why this works: The toner will seep into your skin fighting aging. Apple cider vinegar and pomegranate form the best combination. This will naturally cleanse your face and give it a subtle glow.
Tip: Do not wash your face after this and don’t use this excessively. Use it fresh twice a day. If you wish to store it, then prepare a new toner every week.
5. Juice
This will be the easiest way to consume pomegranate.
Drink a glass of pomegranate juice every single day. It fills up your stomach, is healthy and fights aging.
Things you need to be careful about:
- Do not over do your pomegranate skin care otherwise your face will turn sticky.
- Do not use everything together. One should not cleanse and scrub the same day with pomegranate, as it will be too much for your skin.
Now that you know the miracle fruit for anti aging for your skin, its time you start including it in your skincare routine at the earliest.
