Description:
CoEnzyme Q10 is referred to as a vitamin-like anti-oxidant and is naturally found in nearly every living cell in the human body - the exceptions being red blood cells and the lens of the eye. It is used by the mitchondria cell organelles to help produce internal energy for the body. However, as we age the natural production of CoQ10 reduces quite dramatically. This may be one of the reasons why children have so much energy (and such radiant skin!) compared to their older adult peers.
Benefits:
Being an antioxidant, Coenzyme Q10 helps to protect cells from damage caused by free radicals - these are substances which seek to stabilize themselves by damaging and stealing tiny parts of our cells. Anti-oxidants are wonderful for our health (and our skin) because they sacrifice themselves in order to save our cells from these detrimental molecules. The body produces free radicals in the normal course of energy production and we also encounter them in day-to-day life from various sources such as pollution, certain foods and additives, chemicals added to our water, and even when light hits some plastics, fabrics or paints.
What does this mean for your skin? Well, if free radicals are allowed to progress unchecked, they can damage the precious cell membrane which protects against dehydration and other detrimental environmental effects. The collagen, which provides resilience and elasticity in our skin, can be compromised - leading to the visible signs of aging such as wrinkles and sagging skin.
By adding CoEnzyme Q10 to your daily topical skincare preparations you can help to fight off the damaging effects of free radicals and maintain the beautiful, youthful radiance of your skin!
Recommendations::
Make an anti-oxidant facial treatment oil by adding 0.1% to Organic Rosehip Oil. Apply to the face and backs of the hands in the evening - tap very gently around eyes.
Caution:
Coenzyme Q10 is a deep yellow powder and it may colour your product.
