July 18, 2012 at 7:47 AMHow long should pomegranate juice stay when using it as a excellent astringent and toner for my face? Can l keep it in the fridge or dispose off the remaining juice?
Swati Murti says
July 18, 2012 at 2:39 PMyou can keep it till it dries off on your face…that should take 15-20 minutes 🙂 yes, you can store the remaining juice but always try to make in small batches so that not much is left and try to use it within two days. you can also freeze the juice to make ice cubes and use them within a week 🙂

November 25, 2013 at 6:02 PMwhat about the pomegranate skin? Can we grind that and make a paste? I am guessing that it too has a lot of nutrients that could be beneficial for the skin too. what do you think?
