Benefits of Co-Enzyme Q10


I apologize for the prolonged absence. I was quite busy the past few weeks as I had to work late on occasions, I also had a number of projects to finish and not to mention a pool party and a weekend trip combined. It was so exhausting but fun, nevertheless. 


So anyway, let's get on to business. I have here Avalon Organics CoQ10 Wrinkle Defense Serum. According to the bottle, it is a concentrated anti-aging treatment and potent antioxidant protection. I got this from a health shop that carries tons of U.S. organic food, supplements and skin care products. 

For those of you who haven't heard of CoQ10 before it is vitamin-like substance and has been observed to possess anti aging properties. It is short of Co-Enzyme Q10. Because of this, it has become a popular supplement especially when you hit the 40's and also a main ingredient in anti aging serums and creams.

I've been using this for about five months and I think that's enough time to be to see effects of the product on my skin. I bought this because I started noticing horrible lines on my forehead last May and I'm only 25 years old. I panicked! I searched through the net on a good serum that would make the lines less noticeable and hopefully erase it altogether (it's a long shot but it doesn't hurt to hope.)

I massaged a tiny bit of the product on my forehead, near the eyes, between the brows and on my laugh lines. After months of use, I have noticed that the lines on my face are less pronounced than before and my skin is softer and smoother too. 

I love this new serum that I found. It is not cheap but a tiny squirt can cover your entire face and that means that this small bottle can go a long long way. Not bad really. I'm sure to get another one when this runs out.

Venus and Mars Smooch Lip Butter Balm: aka "Lip Detox""

Have you ever experienced having really dry chapped lips and because of it, you dread wearing lipstick or lip gloss because it will show the peeling and chapping?? I have and it's a phase I never want to return to. I tried using Carmex and good old petroleum jelly which works nicely but I find that when I miss putting it on at night, my lips would be drier than ever the next day! It's really frustrating.


But then, I bumped into a thread in a forum (Istorya.net) that I'm following where girls, living locally, swear over V&M's Smooch Lip Butter Balm and they also mentioned that it whitens darkened lips, which I have, so I knew I had to try it for myself. Luckily, there's a seller here in Cebu and I got mine without paying for shipping fees!

A week into the lip detox, and I've realized that I can't go on living without this lip balm! It's very moisturizing and has a nice icy peppermint feel after swiping it on. I can't say that my lips have grown lighter since I wasn't able to snap a photo before starting the detox process but I have noticed that lipstick colors are more pronounced and noticeable on my lips. 

The Venus and Mars Lip Detox is a keeper!
