Slugging: The new K-beauty trend taking over the internet

Would you like to coat your face with Vaseline for softer, smoother and moisturised skin? Well, that’s called slugging; the popular K-beauty trend everyone is talking about. Let’s discuss in detail.

What is slugging?

It is the process of slathering petroleum jelly on your face as the final step of your night skincare routine.

According to skincare experts, slugging helps lock in the moisture from the other products you have used. It also prevents water loss from the skin and is effective during the colder months, when your skin might feel tight and dry.

However, the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) suggests that people with acne-prone skin should avoid using petroleum jelly on their faces as it might clog pores and cause breakouts.

Here’s how to slug:

Step 1- Follow your normal skincare routine but do not include any spot treatments and face oils

Step 2- Take a pea-size scoop of petroleum jelly and apply it evenly to your skin

Step 3- Wash it in the morning to remove the excess product
