8 DIY Ways To Use Pomegranate Peel For Skin And Hair

Often discarded as waste, the pomegranate peel is actually a powerhouse of nutrients that can benefit both skin and hair. Packed with antioxidants, vitamin C, polyphenols, and anti-inflammatory compounds, it helps fight free radicals, reduce acne, and slow down signs of aging. For hair, it strengthens roots, controls dandruff, adds natural shine, and promotes healthy growth. Whether used as a powder, mask, scrub, or rinse, pomegranate peel is a natural, affordable, and eco-friendly ingredient that enhances beauty from head to toe.
