According to Healthline Pomegranat is very good for you skin.
Pomegranates—and raspberries—are packed with ellagic acid, a compound that research shows could naturally help prevent wrinkles from forming.
A study published in Experimental Dermatology found that ellagic acid prevents the breakdown of skin-firming collagen, and also prevents some UV-induced inflammation. Thus, ellagic acid can slow the chain of skin-aging reactions that occur as a result of that inflammation.
