Exfoliate with Pomegranates

Fresh pomegranates, in season through January, are richer in antioxidants than red wine or green tea. So enjoy the fruit, seeds, or juice—or use it in an anti-aging facial scrub:

Slice off fruit’s crown, and then score rind into sections without cutting through. Place in water for 5-10 minutes. Break rind away from seeds; strain seeds. Blend 2 tablespoons seeds and 1 cup uncooked oatmeal in food processor; transfer to bowl. Stir in 2 tablespoons each of honey and buttermilk. Apply to face for several minutes, rinse—and look glorious!
