Squalane : The skincare ingredient you can rely upon!

Our skin has a built-in system for keeping it moisturized but as we age, these natural moisturizers fail to provide enough hydration hence an external substitute is needed. One ingredient you can consider to add into your skincare routine to protect your skin from chapping is Squalane. Squalane is the stable and hydrogenated form of squalene, which is a lipid, naturally produced by our skin in order to keep it healthy and hydrated. Hydration is extremely necessary to keep the skin healthy and topical usage of plant-derived squalane can really help you with the same. If you're not familiar to this term, here are a few points that will help you in deciding whether squalane should be an important ingredient of your skincare regimen or not (we know the answer is yes but go on!)

• It helps in boosting hydration and makes the skin look young and vibrant.
• Regular usage of squalane can help in boosting collagen, resulting in firmer skin.
• Squalane is also known as a skin detoxifier as it nourishes the skin with potent antioxidants.
• It is also known to fight free radicals, protecting the skin from environmental damage.
• Squalane is a noncomedogenic oil which means, it does not clog pores so its absolutely safe for acne prone skin.
• It penetrates deeper into the skin and replenishes the skin from within, providing a better texture.
• It also has powerful anti-aging properties and helps the skin in aging gracefully.

It is a powerhouse component when it comes to skincare and you must already know about it if you're a skincare junkie (even if you didn't, you know now!) Here are a few products from Model Off Duty Beauty enriched with the goodness of squalane!
