Anti-Aging Product Honolulu-Breaking Down the Fancy Labels

Anti-Aging Product Honolulu – Breaking Down the Fancy Labels

Skin care has become more and more technical. Everyone’s throwing around all of these fancy terms, but what does it all mean? At Pure Skin by Maggie, we stay on top of the research and the latest innovations in skin care for our clients. But we also like to break it down so it makes sense. In this age of the informed consumer, our clients are savvy enough not to buy just any product and stick it on their skin. So, we’re going to take one of our newest products and break it down.

Our latest hydrating complex combines Coenzyme Q10 (COQ10) and multi-peptides to nourish, repair and protect skin from aging and environmental stressors. Sound a bit like Greek already? Well, let’s start off with COQ10 – here’s the skinny:

Coenzyme Q10 (COQ10)

• Did you know that there is a Vitamin Q? It’s more often known as Coenzyme Q10 or COQ10.
• COQ10 is a natural enzyme synthesized by your body.
• Over time, the natural levels & production in the body decreases.
• COQ10 is a powerful antioxidant, i.e. it fights all the bad stuff in the environment.
• It is a necessary ingredient in your body’s production of collagen (and collagen keeps our skin firm & youthful).
• It is also necessary in your body’s production of elastin, which gives skin its flexibility.
• COQ10 in creams and taken internally helps your body repair itself and prevent free radical damage.

That wasn’t too bad, right? It was just the basics, but just reading over that list makes me want to go straight for the COQ10!

Now, let’s tackle another major ingredient in this complex…peptides. One of those non-descript words that leaves most of us wondering.

Peptides

• Peptides are short chains of two or more amino acids, the building blocks of the body.
• Collagen, what our skin is mostly comprised of, is a protein containing long segments of amino acids arranged in a chain.
• When collagen breaks down, certain short amino acid segments are formed. These are the tiny proteins and active molecules known as peptides.
• These peptides “send a message” to your skin to produce more collagen to replace what has been lost.
• When you apply specific peptide combinations to your skin, it sends a message to make more collagen, resulting in a natural firming of your skin.

The Power of COQ10 + Peptides Combined

Our new hydrating complex absorbs deeply with specific peptides to restore skin’s suppleness, health and radiance. Peptides activate skin repair and accelerate the development of epidermal cells. Combined with the antioxidant power of COQ10, which also boosts collagen and elastin production, you can harness the power of nature to visibly combat the signs of aging.

Don’t let the fancy terms on the cosmetic containers confuse you or fool you into thinking that the fancier the words, the better the product! If you have a question, you can email us at pureskinbymaggie@gmail.com and we’ll be happy to answer your questions and break it down.
