Skin Firming With Q10

Information on skin firming and top tips you can do to help.

WHAT IS Skin Firming Q10?

And what makes the best skin firming cream?

Q10 is an antioxidant that is naturally found in body cells and helps to protect the skin. It is formed by the cells themselves and can also be absorbed from food intake. Not only this, as some of the best skin firming creams and anti-ageing skin care products also contain Q10, owing to its ability to fight the signs of ageing, keeping skin happy and healthy.

It is found in the mitochondria of each cell and is responsible for the metabolism of all the cells in the body. It supplies skin cells with energy, keeping it looking firm and taut by also reinforcing collagen reserves and helping with skin elasticity & tightening.

Q10 is found in many foods: meat, fish (especially in sardines), eggs, vegetable oil, nuts, almonds, soya, potatoes, green vegetables such as spinach and broccoli, and pulses, are especially rich in Q10

THE BEST SKIN FIRMING CREAM ENERGY FORMULA

NIVEA has created the best skin firming cream formula containing the special 'energy complex,' with coenzyme Q10, L-carnitine and creatine. This formula helps with skin tightening and is more effective at caring for skin on a cellular level.

The Q10 produces the body’s natural “fuel” and is essential for energy production in the cells.
The skin requires L-carnitine to produce metabolic energy
Creatine, on the other hand, works like a battery, storing and emitting the generated energy in the cells.

The result? The energy in the skin cells can be increased, influencing the regeneration, repair and division of cells. Combined with the best skin firming cream care, the skin will feel firmer, tauter and softer.

WHAT ELSE YOU CAN DO FOR SKIN FIRMING & TAUT SKIN

EXERCISE FIRMS THE SKIN

Get plenty of exercise - preferably in the fresh air. The tissue in your skin receives better circulation and the blood carries oxygen and nutrients while carrying away free radicals that can damage your collagen. This means that it has good skin firming properties to help tighten the skin. Plus, exercise can help decrease stress and reduce oil production in your skin that can clog up your pores. If you're exercising outside in the sun, remember to wear sunscreen or use creams with SPF to add an extra layer of protection to your skin.

EAT A HEALTHY DIET

With the right diet, plenty of exercise and a good night's sleep, you can help your skin look younger for longer. Vitamins and minerals are important for skin tightening & your diet should include:

Fresh fruit and vegetables
Fish and pulses
Less foods high in trans fat and saturated fat
Omega-3 fatty acids - fish like salmon, tuna, sardines, mackerel and trout contain this. Omega-3 regulates oil production which helps to prevent acne and delays the skin ageing process.
Walnuts, pistachios, almonds and pecans are great for lowering cholesterol, are rich in Vitamin E and full of antioxidants which is great in improving your overall health.

GET PLENTY OF SLEEP

Beauty sleep is something that really does exist. When we sleep, our body starts its regeneration programme as new collagen is made, meaning that skin gets plumper and smoother reducing wrinkling. Sleep is also great for the skin around your eyes, as with less sleep, fluid can build up under your eyes to cause puffiness while blood vessels and dark tissue can begin to show due to fatigue. Allowing for some shut-eye means that you can reduce strain on your eyes and give your skin brighter and more radiant complexion. So get 7-8 hours sleep a night and you'll be rewarded with rested and healthier skin. Using a good night moisturiser in your night time skin care routine will help to give your skin a further regenerating boost overnight.

WHAT CAUSES A DEFICIENCY OF THE BODY’S OWN Q10?

Age can be a big factor in the decrease of Q10 in your cells as it doesn't get regenerated at as quick a pace as when you're young.

Medical conditions such as heart disease can also cause levels of Q10 in your body to decrease.
Physical exertion, illness, stress, or an unhealthy lifestyle can cause the body to consume more nutrients in order to repair itself, meaning it has a greater need for Q10.
If you do not consume any food that contains Q10 or supplement your losses, this can have effects on your skin such as a loss of firmness and skin elasticity.
UV radiation also affects the production of collagen in your skin as it kills skin cells at the surface, leaving long-lasting damage on your skin.

That’s why you need to consciously supply your body with Q10 using things such as skin firming cream to help with skin tightening. You can do this with your diet or with specific nutritional supplements.

The rate at which our skin ages can vary depending on how healthy our lives are. Give your daily body skin care routine an extra boost by getting active yourself. With the right diet, plenty of exercise and a good night’s sleep, along with using the best skin firming cream for you, you can help with skin firming.
