Ode to the Pomegranate
Written by Ann Pietrangelo on January 21st, 2009 in Health, Other.
I’ve been told that I have a nice complexion, but I’m certainly not getting any younger. That’s why I’m cautious about what I put on my skin and I try not to use any abrasive or potentially toxic products — I don’t need to borrow trouble.
“Green” is all the rage right now. You see it everywhere, from household products to office supplies — everyone’s going green. So why should our skin be any different? Green cosmetics, when used as part of an overall natural skin care routine, give me confidence that I’m doing right by my complexion. Naturally, that includes a well-balanced diet and plenty of beauty sleep.
I pay careful attention and look for safe cosmetics that contain no harsh chemicals or perfumes. Organic skin care is not as difficult or as complicated as you might think.
You’ve probably had pomegranate juice to drink on occasion, but you may be surprised to learn that pomegranate oils can also boost immunity, purify against damaging free radicals, and maintain skin health and appearance. All that and it’s 100 percent natural, too!
Every day, we come into contact with countless unknown chemicals in our environment. Much of that is not in our control, but it is within our power to choose safe and natural products for our skin care. It’s up to us to choose wisely. Think pomegranate.
