How To 'Slug' Your Skin The Right Way, According To Dermatologists
HuffPost
This skin care trend has gone crazy, but we've got a lot of questions.
Slugging isn’t new, but the uptick in articles and social media videos might make it seem like a recent phenomenon.
The practice of “slugging” involves spreading a layer of an occlusive (typically a petroleum jelly like Vaseline, or a healing ointment like the popular ones made by Aquaphor or CeraVe) over the entire face while sleeping at night. It has a close cousin in the beauty routines of the mid-1900s, when women wore thick cold creams on their skin overnight to prevent wrinkles.
