WHY YOUR SKIN NEEDS CoQ10

Why Your Skin Needs CoQ10

Very few of us know about Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), sometimes called Vitamin Q. Yet, its value for general health and nutrition is rather well researched. What is so special about CoQ10? Produced by the human body, CoQ10 is essential in cellular energy production and antioxidant protection.

There are 3 benefits for your skin from CoQ10:

1. It energizes your skin. Young skin has lots of energy – energy needed to repair and keep skin cells healthy. CoQ10 plays a vital role in the delivery of cellular energy. Without it, our cells would not function properly.

2. It rejuvenates skin by stimulating collagen production. Collagen is the “spring” that gives volume and firmness to skin. When there is less collagen, your skin looks aged, loose, and wrinkled. You can boost your collagen producing activity with CoQ10.

3. It protects against free radicals that cause “rusting” in our body.  When metals oxidize, we call it rusting. When humans oxidize, we call it aging. Oxidation is caused by highly reactive oxygen species called free radicals. UV rays of the sun, pollution, smoking, and toxins produce free radicals. CoQ10 is considered the king of antioxidants, highly potent against free radicals.

Unfortunately, as you age your body produces less and less of CoQ10. As a result, cells lose their energy and capacity to repair, rejuvenate and protect.

What can be done about declining CoQ10 in your body? You can use supplements – both internally as capsules and also on the skin in the form of lotion and serum. CoQ10 is the main ingredient in DERMAX NanoQ, a premium anti-aging lotion that promotes skin repair and regeneration. It rejuvenates the skin by boosting collagen production and enhancing the cell’s energy efficiency.

It is important that CoQ10 retains its activity when used either as a supplement or as a topical product. CoQ10,  just like vitamin C and other reactive antioxidants, is easily inactivated by oxygen from the air.  We got around this problem by using advanced nano-encapsulation technology to ensure freshness and efficacy of CoQ10 in DERMAX NanoQ lotion. 

The cellular repair moisturizing lotion helps strengthen and smoothen depleted, dull skin. Aside from CoQ10, skin-nurturing moisturizers combined with exfoliating retinol, and nourishing vitamins A, C, & E restore skin cell vitality. It penetrates fast, is non-greasy and has a natural calendula fresh scent. Make sure you supplement your skin daily with DERMAX NanoQ lotion so you can look and feel younger longer.    ____________________________________________________________________________________________________
