Hello, beauty enthusiasts! If you’re like me and struggle with dry skin, you might want to explore slugging as a part of your nighttime routine. For those unfamiliar, slugging involves applying a thick layer of an occlusive product, typically petroleum jelly, to lock in moisture overnight. It’s almost like giving your skin a warm, protective hug while you sleep!
I’ve incorporated slugging into my regimen, especially during the colder months when my skin tends to feel really parched. I start my routine with a gentle cleanser, followed by hydrating serums and moisturizers. Once those have absorbed, I apply a layer of petroleum jelly. The next morning, my skin feels incredibly soft and hydrated, and I can’t help but appreciate the overnight transformation.
For anyone already enjoying the benefits of slugging, what are your go-to products or tips? And if you haven’t tried it yet, what’s stopping you? Let’s discuss our favorite skincare rituals!
