If there's one thing we're always up for, it's giving our beauty routine a boost.
And there's no one we trust more with our precious beauty routine than style and beauty pro Gretta Monahan!
She recently came on the show to show us all the things she's currently obsessed with, and at the top of the list? Squalane, one of the trendiest moisturizers in beauty right now! It's a naturally occurring substance found in plants, animals, and humans, and a major hydrator.
"Squalane is…my super ingredient," says Gretta. "It basically gives a turbo-charge to anything in my beauty closet."
As she demonstrates with her body lotion, all you have to do is add a few drops of squalane oil—her favorite is Biossance—to your product of choice (moisturizer, conditioner, you name it!) and it's instantly that much more hydrating.
If you want to treat yourself, it's part of Biossance's 30% Off Sitewide Black Friday Sale—meaning you can get it on sale right now through November 28 for $34.
This one, which is quite the luxurious treat, also comes in an on-sale set—the Biossance Bestsellers Set, which is on sale for $59 (42% off!).
"It's super hydrating, silky, and it doesn't irritate the skin," she says. Plus, she notes, "You can actually add the drops directly to your skin and it's a great way to kind of double up as a serum."
Say no more, Gretta—we're sold!
