Squalane for sun damage: how to use it and what to expect

Squalane is increasingly recommended for exactly this — and for good reason.

What is Squalane

Squalane is a lightweight, non-comedogenic oil identical to the skin's own lipids.

How Squalane helps for sun damage

Sun damage is accumulated UV harm: pigmentation, wrinkles and loss of firmness. In this scenario Squalane works with purpose — squalane is a lightweight, non-comedogenic oil identical to the skin's own lipids. As a result, used consistently, it gently improves the skin for sun damage.

How to use it

• Cleanse with a gentle, non-stripping product.
• Apply squalane to dry skin, starting 2–3 times a week.
• Seal with a moisturiser to support the barrier.
• Always use SPF 30+ in the morning.

Precautions

Suits all skin types, including oily, and leaves no greasy film. Daytime antioxidants and SPF stop further damage.
