Ingredient of the Week – COQ10 || Anti-aging Essentials – Elle Leary Artistry
happy skincare Sunday everyone its Elle and welcome back to my channel my favorite day of the week and I hope you guys are having a great one today is going to be an ingredient of the week and we’re gonna be talking all about Co Q 10 and why it’s fantastic for you two and coorporate that into your topical treatments as well as internally alright so if you want to know more about that hit the subscribe button share this with a friend and let’s do it alright so Co Q 10 has been around for a very long time and it’s one of those ingredients that I don’t feel a lot of people talk about but is really essential to specifically anti-aging and so we’re going to be talking about topical treatments product recommendations and then also how you can get it internally to support all of that topical treatments that you’re doing I do want to say when we talk about using this internally please check with your doctor first before taking any new supplements because it can have a reaction with blood pressure medicine so I want you to make sure that take this and then take it to your doctor and say hey can I take this kind of supplement I am trying to when we do ingredient Sundays or when we do ingredient of the week I’m trying to also incorporate ways that we can take or get these ingredients if they are more you know naturally happening in our body or if they are vitamins how we can take that in foods because like I’ve always said as we move on into this next year and obviously into the future really talking about internal health and taking these kind of foods in and supplements are going to be a real big push and something I find super important all right so we’re talking today about coq10 are also I have little notes here by the way that’s I’m looking at are also coenzyme q10 or just coenzyme q this basically is a naturally found enzyme in the body it basically is throughout all of our tissues and cells in our body already as we age of course as we know so many things diminish now what Co Q 10 does in our body is it helps basically neutralize free radicals it also keeps the cells both inside the body and in the skin healthy it’s really also to helps the fibers which we call elastin and collagen that kind of keeps our skin kind of plumped it keeps those those fibers strong and when we’re young we we create enough of that Co Q 10 inside of our body already to keep those fibers nice and strong but as we age that diminishes and sometimes we need to apply it topically and also eat foods or take supplements to really kind of support that loss like I said coq10 is essential for anti aging and basically what Co Q 10 also can do when you use it topically and internally is it also helps with fine lines and wrinkles so it helps with plumping the skin it helps keep the skin full supple you know energized bouncy also all of those things it’s also an antioxidant which basically meant means an antioxidant which we know is like vitamin C it helps combat against free radicals that are out in our universe that breaks down our skin as well as in this antioxidant also helps protect our skin against photo aging which basically means sun damage so it kind of goes into our skin or in our body and help synthesize that and help with or stopping or reducing photo aging it also stimulates collagen production in the skin I think this is the real big takeaway from here is that it’s all about really anti aging the skin and it helps you know since it’s an antioxidant we talked about it’s going to also help with a brightness just like vitamin C will and all that good miss all right so the foods that you can get this from naturally our fish Oregon meats and chicken the so you can supplement these foods with you know supplements they basically make a you know whole host of vitamins and they all you know they’re labeled Co Q 10 supplement now it’s important again to check with your doctor before you start doing any of these supplements but things to remember when you are taking these supplements is they actually should be taken with a meal that contains oil like salmon or fat they are hydrophobic so basically means they can’t dissolve in water so you want to take them with something that’s oil that’s a fat soluble okay so you want to also take this with your E vitamin because E is obviously oil-based so that will help get that broken down into your body and make it more effective when you take supplements you really should be giving supplements between four to 12 weeks to see if this is something for you again it can have reactions with high with blood pressure medicine so make sure you’re double-checking with that it can make you dizzy and it can make you kind of lightheaded so just double-check with that just for safety reasons we always want to check with our doctors before taking supplements all right so let’s get to the fun part where we talk about some of my favorite products that have Co Q 10 in them this is not an exhaustive list but this is some of the products that I have tried personally and that I really really love now when we’re talking about ingredients Sunday I know some of you guys run out and grab products that have these ingredients in them and then you have no idea where they go so my biggest takeaway from this for you guys is to when you guys go out looking for products that have Co Q 10 in them is to incorporate them into the holes in your skincare so maybe you don’t have a face wash that has Co Q 10 and you have all the other serums and moisturizers that you really love so then you’re gonna get the wash or maybe you’re looking for a moisturizer right now go out and get a one that has Co Q 10 in it or you don’t use an eye serum has Co Q 10 in it and you don’t have that already kind of fill those holes I hope that makes sense so try to fill the holes with this and not necessarily adding another thing into your routine that kind of is confusing alright so from a company called 100% peer they have a vitamin A and Co Q 10 wrinkle smoothing night cream that is so good and the product line is so amazing it’s a fantastic fantastic product line if you do not and the price points really good so if you guys have not heard of 100% pure check that out it’s readily available in this night cream they have a C alpha lipoic acid as well in this moisturizer so that’s a whole host of goodness for the skin also a company called skin Inc which you can get at Sephora they have a serum called the coq10 serum energize and renewal that is a fantastic serum to add in and you can use this during the day or night it does not matter Co Q 10 can be used at any point I like to use products that are antioxidants during the day because of that really great ability to help with photo photo aging as well as free radical damage then a drugstore brand called Uslan they have a user lobe lotion it’s a Co Q 10 anti-wrinkle for sensitive skin that is really great the drunk elephant serum I talked about last week are for the eyes it’s the drunk elephant eye serum has Co Q 10 in it as well as peptides if you guys have not watched that video make sure you go to last week’s it’s really a beneficial for anti aging around the eyes creepiness dark circles all that good stuff so another great line by a company called derma e they are fantastic he doesn’t not tried any of derma e’s products they’re really really good they have a KO q 10 supera repair eye cream it also has vitamins a c e and green tea really really fantastic they also have a derma e also has a Co Q 10 supera repair cleanser and then they have a Co Q 10 super Repair Cream so you can get those two products there they have a whole line actually with Co Q tenant and it’s fantastic really really really a great price points to its not super super expensive and really well done and uh cruelty-free as well and then the last one I want to talk about is a product by a company called a cure they have a product called a cure organics coca butter + Co Q 10 it’s an unscented body lotion this is the only product that I have not tried but I have tried this line with a lot of their other products it’s really good and it is one of those I wanted to incorporate a body products because again not just for the face but for the whole body coq10 is fantastic for it really is going to also help to if you dry kind of rough skin eczema things like that but they have a beautiful Co Q 10 unscented which I love especially because of for eczema sufferers and sensitive skin sufferers so I hope that it gives you some products to go out and look for again with your favorite Co Q 10 products because all of us are coming from different places of the world and not all of these you can get everywhere but I hope that this is enough of a broad range so you guys can look for these products all right you guys thank you guys so much for being here I hope you guys enjoyed this and I hope you guys enjoy the rest of your weekend and I’ll see you guys in the next one let’s love for me to you bye you guys
