As we age, much like many things, the natural levels of Q10found in the skin declines, leading to the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles to form. That's why it's important to replenish these stores with anti aging cream that contains 100% skin identical Q10. Q10 is produced as an antioxidant to combat oxidative stress, which helps to keep your skin looking healthy. Without this antioxidant working, skin is left vulnerable to increased stress and damage, making it more susceptible to fine lines and wrinkles. The NIVEA Q10 Powerformula has been clinically proven to effectively replenish these Q10 stores in the skin and reduce signs of aging, as well as giving you firmer skin in just 14 days. That's why it's one of the most powerful anti aging cream ranges you could use. The next morning, 85% of testers agreed that their skin felt smoother and many praised the plumping effect too. The vast majority felt the hydration effect lasted all day and that their skin felt increasingly better after continued use. NIVEA Q10 Power 60+: This range has been specially formulated by our experts to deeply hydrate skin over 60, by using 100% skin identical Q10 and argan oil. Take a look at the NIVEA Q10 Power 60+ range. Massage in a generous amount just before bed as the final step in your skincare routine in place of your night cream or moisturiser. Alternatively, use as a pampering treatment two-to-three times a week or whenever your skin needs some TLC. Most don’t need to be washed off – just follow your usual morning skincare routine and the cleansing step will naturally remove any residue. A good sleeping mask can be a one-and-done product—it may contain hyaluronic acid, fatty acids, exfoliating acids and antioxidants like Vitamin C—which would all brighten and hydrate your skin as you snooze, so you wake up with suppler skin in the morning. This, in turn, could reduce the time you take to get ready in the morning, since a solid base makes applying makeup easier. If you’re using it as a part of a routine, a sleeping mask can form a seal on top of your lighter products like serums, toners and essences, allowing the below layers to penetrate better while reducing the chances of transepidermal evaporation. You’ll want to slather on the goop-like texture on liberally, but the lighter texture means that you won’t make a mess on your pillowcase, because it’ll sink in immediately.

The third product I’m recommending to you guys today is actually an old favourite of mine – the amazing Nivea In-Shower Body Moisturiser. This is the one product that I’ve been repurchasing over and over again since it was first released, and can’t ever imagine not using as part of my shower routine nowadays. As I mentioned before, I’m quite lazy when it comes to moisturising, and hate waiting for ages for it to dry before I can get dressed. Which is why I love this stuff because you actually apply it in the shower. Eek! Not only does skin identical Q10 help re-energise cells and repair them, but the added ingredient of creatinemakes it even more powerful. Creatine is an organic acid that's find naturally in the skin and acts as an energy reservoir for skin cells, and also further helps skin cells repair and regenerate. Creatine helps to to supply energy to collagen stores in the skin, which are responsible for skin firmness. These collagen stores also decline as you age leading to sagging skin and wrinkles. Research has shown that applying creatine topically to skin, such as with the Q10 Power anti aging cream range, helps to increased the production of collagen to the skin. That's why the range has been proven to give you firmer skin in just 14 days. This week’s mask is by the well known brand Nivea. I have used Nivea products before but none of their face masks. Now I am 30, I have started to notice wrinkles more. So I wanted to give this ago. Another reason is because its a sleep mask. The Q10 power sleeping melt in mask is meant to pampers and nourishes the skin overnight, leaving the face feeling smoother and firmer. It features a combination of 50% more co-enzyme Q10 and creatine, which should result in 24 hours of nourished skin.When you are asleep you are not facing daily challenges that can cause stress. Levels of cortisol, aka the stress hormone, naturally fluctuate over 24 hour cycles - high in day time to keep us alert and low at night time to allow us to rest and recover. The production of cortisol can be stimulated by stress - stress that is caused when you are awake. Consistently high levels of cortisol can lead to major health issues, so getting plenty of beauty sleep is important to keeping levels balanced. Learning how to effectively reduce stress can help lower levels of cortisol which will help you get more beauty sleep so you can wake up refreshed. Next, I decided to give one of Nivea’s Body Mousse Moisturiser’s a try. There were a few different scents to choose from, but I went for their wild raspberry and white tea one as it was the one that appealed to me the most. And I’m glad I did because it smells incredible! I’d never used a mousse moisturiser before as I’m quite lazy and usually use an in-shower one. But I think it’s safe to I’ve been converted, as I’ve been reaching for this stuff pretty much every day for the last few weeks. After trying the cream, testers said their skin felt immediately moisturised, rating its “luxurious” and “rich” formula. The lab report found the same – with the product earning a 9/10 score for its hydrating effects.

On the other hand, a couple of oily-skinned testers thought this product was a little too rich for them. A few also recommended leaving the cream to sink in for a while before heading off to bed.

Easy as, I have started to get ready for bed before my hours read. So I had the 5-10 minutes it tells you to have. Mine was 40 minutes more like. The amount though, it either felt like I had put face cream on or too much suncream. I would say the amount you apply and need is down to you. There isn’t an amount given. Face masks for me are always on shown, hence the suncream amount.
