This is the second segment in the Voguegenics Glow Guide skincare series.
💡 What is Squalane?
Squalane (with an “A”) is a lightweight, non-comedogenic oil that mimics your skin’s natural oils. It’s derived from squalene (with an “E”), which your body actually produces. But as you age—like most fun things—production slows down.
That’s where squalane steps in: stabilized, shelf-friendly, and ready to moisturize.
🌿 What It Actually Does:
- Locks in moisture without clogging pores
- Calms redness and inflammation
- Softens skin texture over time
- Makes you look dewy, not greasy
It’s basically the skincare version of a chill best friend who always brings snacks and never starts drama.
💧 Who It’s Best For:
- All skin types (yes, even oily)
- Sensitive or acne-prone skin
- Anyone looking for a simple way to boost hydration and barrier repair
💡 Pro Tip: Apply a few drops of squalane oil after your serum and before your moisturizer. It helps seal in the good stuff without suffocating your skin.
