Pomegranate promotes skin renewal while preserving elasticity and firmness – revitalizing and restoring optimal health to dry, mature skin. Weleda’s European holistic esthetician Lilith Schwertle offers insight on the benefits of pomegranate. “As we age, our skin’s own rebuilding functions begin to slow,” she says. “The active ingredients in pomegranate seed oil, including fatty acids, vitamins and antioxidants, help encourage your skin’s natural regeneration process.”

Weleda just released three new skin care products in a brand new body care line called Pomegranate Regenerating Body Care that includes a hand cream, body wash and body oil.

Created to rejuvenate and restore radiance to dry/damaged skin, this regenerating body care line is blended with antioxidant-rich organic pomegranate seed oil from Turkey to enhance your skin’s natural vibrancy.

As most of you know I am a huge body oil fan. But most I layer with a lotion, so I am not sticky, and greasy, or I put them on at night. Well with Weleda’s new Pomegranate Body Oil, I don’t have to think that hard, or work that hard! It smooths right in, soaks up and leaves the skin lightly scented with a fresh citrusy type aroma.

Aging and tired skin is revitalized by this renewing body oil. It’s a nourishing full-body treatment that regulates moisture balance and restores your natural vitality with potent antioxidants and essential fatty acids.

Organic pomegranate seed oil contains powerful antioxidants that help promote skin renewal and protect against free radical damage. Organic jojoba seed oil preserves your natural moisture and acts as an emollient, nurturing your skin and improving its firmness.

Dermatological tests show that our Pomegranate Regenerating Body Oil accelerates natural skin renewal by 50% in just two weeks.* Indulge yourself after your shower or bath to renew your youthful, full-body radiance. Experience your body’s timeless beauty day after ageless day.

I can tell you this Pomegranate Body Oil, is something! I have been using it daily for a couple weeks, not quite 2x’s a day, but usually every other day. It fully moisturizes, and I don’t need to use it the next day! It has been great for dry and tried feet too! It is not greasy at all, it really sinks in, and plumps up the skin with moisture, plus the scent is hot! And above all that, it only takes a smidgen! Retails for $28 for 3.4 oz.

Next on my favorite list from this new line is the Pomegranate Hand Cream. Formulated with a unique complex of antioxidants, this nourishing cream prevents the premature formation of age spots, while restoring a youthful glow to your hands. “Organic shea butter, avocado oil and olive oil protect your skin from moisture loss, leaving hands soft and smooth,” Schwertle says. “The hand cream also helps reduce wrinkles and pigmentation.” Hand Cream ($12.50, 1.7 oz)

Dermatological tests show that Weleda Pomegranate Regenerating Hand Cream reduces roughness by 9.1% when used twice daily for four weeks. Studies also sho w that it helps increase the moisture levels in the skin by up to 34% over four weeks.

Mind you, I don’t exactly have rough hands, but this lotion is fantastic. I have been using for a little over 2 weeks, and my nails are longer and stronger and my cuticles are much less rough. I still love my Jurlique Hand Cream, but this one has taken over the spot in my purse!

And the refreshing, wake up Pomegranate Regenerating Shower Wash! So fresh! Moisturizing and clean, plus that fantastic Pomegranate scent that Weleda came up with. It will be the #1 Shower Cream to use in the dark fall and winter mornings!

Blended with a natural fragrance derived from essential oils of vanilla, sandalwood, blood orange and neroli, this gentle shower and bath essential is free from synthetic detergents to softly cleanse your skin without stripping it of moisture.

The aroma stimulates the senses while balancing the body and soul. Schwertle suggests making bath and shower time a spa experience by using a soft loofah. “The loofah gently exfoliates dead skin cells,” she says, “and will also increase blood flow, resulting in soft, glowing skin.” Indulge yourself in this ultra-rich, gentle cleanser. $18 for 7.2 oz.

PLUS if you buy a regular sized Pomegranate Body Product you will receive a FREE travel size!
