It's summer, at least here in South Florida and tanning is an art. You may tan easily or not at all. You may hop right into pinkdom. Or you may burn after a couple of hours. If you love the outdoors, here are some suggestions for sun protection directly from mother nature:
Pomegranate Seed Oil is highly effective. One reason to love pomegranate seed oil is its faint aroma is reminiscent of melted baking chocolate! A wonderful light oil that is quickly absorbed into the skin.
Its recommended use is either undiluted by the drop or creating a 10% solution with a blend of carrier oil(s). Mix with oils such as coconut, jojoba, or almond and rub into the skin. Pomegranate Seed Oil is luscious when blended with Seabuckthorn Berry Extract. The two delightfully compliment one other and have a truly synergetic effect in skincare blends.
The benefits of this delightful oil are limitless for nearly all skin types. Research indicates it to be helpful in skirmishing both skin and breast cancer in laboratory tests. Pomegranate Seed Oil has an extended shelf life due to its high level of anti-oxidants. It also possesses anti-inflammatory properties, therefore relieving muscle aches and pains.
Choose a Pomegranate Seed Oil that is Co2 extracted which allows it to remain high in antioxidants, these ward off free radicals to promote healthy skin regeneration. The high lipid content reduces inflammation and swelling. It nourishes the skin thus improving elasticity (yay!) and reducing wrinkles.
And fair maiden, If you stay out in the sun a little too long, it has also been shown to help sunburned and ultraviolet damaged skin. Much evidence suggests that its calming and healing properties may aid treatment of numerous skin dilemmas; including dry, irritated, sensitive and even eczema and psoriasis.
Pomegranate Seed Oil also contains phytoestrogens. Women have found that using pomegranate seed oil has helped to ease symptoms associated with menopause; such as mood swings, hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness and diminished libido. It may be taken orally as a dietary supplement, used topically as a moisturizer or massage oil or personal lubricant. OoLaLa
