Beauty efficacy of camellia
Camellia oil extracted from camellia can be used for beauty and skin care. The reason why Yang Guifei, one of the four beauties, has a firm skin is not only because of her "natural beauty", but also because she makes good use of various beauty techniques, among which camellia oil is the most famous.
In fact, there are detailed records on the efficacy of camellia oil in ancient books such as Compendium of Materia Medica, Annals of Lingnan Herbs, etc. Its beauty efficacy has been scientifically confirmed many times in modern times.
the oleic acid contained in camellia oil is similar to the human sebum membrane, which can quickly penetrate into the skin surface and inner layer, promote the skin to absorb the active ingredients, and form a thin protective film on the skin surface, keeping the skin hydrated for a long time.
The function of locking water and moisturizing is very extensive for skin care, which can not only prevent skin problems such as dehydration, peeling and dark yellow skin, but also help skin fade fine lines. Oleic acid is the most abundant in camellia oil, which can be as high as 8%. Therefore, camellia oil has the characteristics of good skin friendliness and easy absorption, and it is precisely because of its magical nourishing effect that it is favored by the harem beauties such as Yang Guifei and Empress Dowager Cixi.
