Pomegranate Seed Oil is extermely nutritous with numerous health benefits. I think we all know about the antioxidant and anti inflammatory benefits from eating or drinking pomegranates. You can find pomegranate juice at almost every grocery store and even some gas stations so when I found the oil in my research of essential oils it seemed like an obvious choice to add to my DIY all natural skincare routine. It just seemed logical that the benefits of using pomegranates both on the inside and the outside has to be amazing. I added the oil to my day oil mix and my nighttime oil mix about 4 weeks ago and am pleased with the results and the cost was minimal so the comittment is painless. You can find highend products for anti aging to acne treatments that list Pomegranate Seed Oil as the key ingredient only they cost up to $300 a jar. I bought a 4 oz of cold pressed Pomegranate Seed Oil for $19 at Amazon and a little goes a long way.

HOW I USE IT
At night I mix Carrot Seed Oil, Rosehip Seed Oil, Sea Buckthorn Oil and Pomegranate Seed Oil and apply on my entire face (including eye area), neck and declogate as well as my hands. I apply it liberally and let it soak in overnight
In the morning I added it to my oil mix that is more like a serum in its texture due to the vegetable gyclerin which draws moisture into the skin.
I rub a small amount in my hands run it through my hair after styling
Look for cold pressed 100% pure unfiltered Promegranate Seed Oil. Like all skin treatments/products give it 6 to 8 weeks using it cosnsistantly in the am and the pm to get the best results.
