Is pomegranate seed powder safe for sensitive skin?
While natural, physical exfoliants like pomegranate seed powder can be too abrasive for sensitive skin. It's best to use with caution and test on a small area first.
How often should I use products with pomegranate seed powder?
For most skin types, using products with physical exfoliants 1-3 times a week is sufficient. Over-exfoliation can lead to irritation and barrier damage.
