COENZYME Q10 - or - COQ10
Benefits to our skin health and function
What is it? & What does it do?
Q10 is a coenzyme found naturally in almost all of our bodies cells. CoQ10 is released as an antioxidant to combat oxidative stress and is also vital for energy production to take care of our skins basic functions like regeneration and repair.
Our skin is constantly being exposed to various damaging elements, external things like UV rays and pollution coupled with internal factors like diet and alcohol all cause the release of free radicals which have further damaging effects on each of our skin cells.
So what can Coenzyme Q10 do to help?
This powerful antioxidant neutralises these free radicals from causing more damage while also energising our cells, encouraging them to repair and regenerate themselves. An energised functioning skin equals a more radiant complexion! As we age our natural levels of CoQ10 drop drastically meaning we're more susceptible to things like fine lines and an uneven skin tone, this is because its ability to handle stress and damage has dramatically reduced. Building up that strength and resistance is vital. Collagen makes up roughly about 80% of our skin and Coenzyme Q10 helps support the production of our collagen this makes integrating products with CoQ10 into your skin care routine vital for improving skins glow, strength and health.
