By now, if you have been researching skin care products, you may have heard of squalane oil. Although it isn’t as well-known as some of the more mainstream essential oils, it is one of the most effective natural ingredients found in skincare products today. In order to get the most out of its many benefits, it is important to understand the best methods for applying it on a regular basis.
Why Is Squalane Oil So Effective?
The reason that squalane oil works so well for so many different types of skin is because it is a saturated oil as opposed to unsaturated. That means that it is more stable and less likely to expire as it sits on the shelf. It is derived from squalene oil, which is the dehydrogenated version of the same oil. The body produces it naturally but often not in high enough quantities to take full advantage of its many benefits. The oil used for skincare is often extracted from plants, which also produce this powerful substance.
How Much Do You Need?
This particular oil spreads well and absorbs into the skin very quickly so less is truly more. Between one and three drops should be more than enough, depending on your skin type. It is a powerful moisturizer, so someone with naturally dry skin may want to use three drops. A person with normal or oily skin can certainly spread just one drop over their entire face and take advantage of the many other benefits associated with this oil.
When Should You Use It?
As you probably already know, the order in which you apply your skincare products is just as important as the products that you use. Squalane oil should be used after you have washed your face and applied any active ingredient products that you may use. It should come before an additional moisturizer and before you apply your makeup. If you wish, you can add an extra drop to your makeup foundation to give it an extra touch of moisture.
Squalane oil is very powerful and can help with a number of skin care issues if it is used the right way. Luckily for you, Genovo Skincare incorporates this oil into some of its skincare products. For more information about these products or to get your order started, click here.
