🌿 Folk Prescriptions

According to historical records, Empress Dowager Cixi of the Qing Dynasty was deeply devoted to beauty. Every night before sleep, palace maids would carefully apply flower juice to her face to nourish and moisturize it, keeping it lustrous and smooth. This shows that plant-based skincare benefits have been known for centuries.
Today, whether for facial skincare products or body lotions, we often see phrases like “extracted from plant essence” on labels. Internationally renowned cosmetic brands all base their formulas primarily on plant extracts.
Benefits of Different Plants
Rose: Rose is inseparable from love, beauty, and women. Rose essential oil is a precious fragrance. Medicinally, rose flowers help relieve liver stagnation and enhance beauty. Simple preparation: soak fresh rose petals in vinegar for one week, filter the liquid, dilute with water, and use as a facial tonic. Washing face and neck with this solution morning and night cleanses and beautifies skin, treats acne and facial sores. Long-term use softens and clears skin—best suited for oily skin.
Lemon: Lemon juice cleanses pores, smoothes skin, and makes it bright and smooth. When conditioning hair, add a few drops of lemon juice to hair oil, wrap hair, leave for 20–30 minutes, then rinse with warm water. Mix one teaspoon of honey with an equal amount of lemon juice, heat slightly, apply evenly to the face, leave for half an hour, then rinse with clean water—results in clearer skin. At night, apply lemon juice to pigmentation spots with a cotton swab, then apply moisturizer—effective for spot removal.
Olive Oil: Olive trees possess remarkable vitality and self-defense mechanisms. With minimal water and soil, they thrive in sunny regions, ensuring stable olive oil production. Mediterranean countries center their lives around olives. Locals believe drinking tea made from boiled olive leaves promotes health. Olive oil’s unique aroma is a key flavor in local cuisine.
As the essence of the olive tree, olive oil is widely used in cosmetics, bath oils, body and hair care products due to its ability to moisturize and soften skin.
Coconut Oil: Coconut oil is the noblest of plant-based skincare essences. It carries the extraordinary vitality of tropical plants, enhancing cell cohesion and strengthening pore contraction—delivering the ultimate spa-level hydration. Suitable for all skin types, it is a miracle product for revitalizing skin.
Aloe Vera: Refreshing aloe vera is rich in silky juice, serving as the foundation of all skincare. It softens the outer skin layer, restores elasticity, and prepares the skin for subsequent treatments or makeup application. Aloe vera contains 75 elements including amino acids, hydroxy amino acids, vitamins A, B, E, and C groups—perfectly matching human cellular needs—with unique skincare properties.
Reminder:
1. Different plant extracts have different functions. Choose products according to your skin type and specific concerns.
2. Avoid mixing different series of cosmetics—risk of allergic reactions. Stop using immediately if any allergy occurs.
3. After lemon application, avoid sun exposure—always practice sun protection.<Skin Care>
