Benefits of using pomegranate on skin
Antioxidants such as the vitamin C found in pomegranates work by reducing cellular damage in your body. Other notable compoundsTrusted Source include tannins, ellagitannins, and anthocyanins.

While these work best via the foods you eat and drink, topical applications could provide some benefits.

Anti-aging benefits
When applied to the skin of miceTrusted Source, antioxidants helped decrease the incidence of age spots and wrinkles, though they didn’t prevent them entirely. There are currently studies underway on humans.

Such effects are thought to be achieved via increased cell regeneration, which is your skin’s ability to get rid of old skin cells on the surface so it can rejuvenate new ones.

Decreased inflammation
Reduced free radical damage can also translate to decreased inflammation in the skin. As such, antioxidants may be able to reduce the symptoms of certain inflammatory skin conditions like acne and eczema.

Antimicrobial benefits
Pomegranate is thought to contain natural antimicrobials from vitamin CTrusted Source, which may help fight bacteria and fungus in your skin. Such benefits may help treat P. acnes bacteria, which may be a precursor to acne breakouts.

UV protection
The antioxidants in pomegranate are also thought to help provide natural protection against ultraviolet (UV) rays, according to some studiesTrusted Source. However, such protection isn’t enough to skip out on daily sunscreen.

Natural exfoliation
Regular exfoliation helps to get rid of dead skin cells, which decreases signs of acne and skin aging. It’s thought that these benefits are directly linked to using slightly crushed seeds of the pomegranate fruit.

Salad Preparation Tips
Apple and pear: Slice straight down about 1/2″ from the core. Repeat on the remaining three sides, and discard the core. With the flat sides lying flat against the cutting board, cut them into very thin slices, keeping the pieces together as best you can. Then, fan out the slices into sections and place them around the salad as shown.

Pomegranate: There are a bunch of different ways to remove the arils from a pomegranate, but I usually do it like this.

Goat cheese: You can easily crumble cold goat cheese with a fork into a bowl. You’ll need half of a standard log of goat cheese for this recipe.

Pecans: Freshly toasted nuts offer tons of flavor, so that’s why I recommend buying raw nuts and toasting them as needed. It’s a simple step that makes a big difference, and your nuts will stay fresher longer this way.

Dressing: Simply whisk it all together! You can make the dressing a day or two in advance, if you’d like.
