Slugging involves applying a thick, emollient skincare product (think vaseline balms and creams) on your face as the final step of your skincare routine at night. The thick layer of products leaves your skin feeling as slippery as slug goo, hence the name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a>3 benefits of slugging<\/h3>\n\n\n\nIs slugging worthy of its reputation? In short, yes! When done right, there are many reasons to adopt this skincare trend, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- It\u2019s done while your skin repairs itself.<\/strong>
Slathering on thick products overnight when your skin is repairing itself is the optimal moment to get deeper results.<\/li>- It helps retain hydration.<\/strong>
Slugging works to reduce water loss, aka it locks in hydration before it evaporates from your skin. The result? Noticeably dewy, plump skin from the moment you wake up.<\/li>- It fortifies your skin barrier.<\/strong>
Your hydrolipidic barrier is the top layer of your skin that works to protect it from threats like bacteria, pollution, and sun exposure. This protective layer consists of water, lipids, and sebum. By slugging, you\u2019re helping nourish and fortify your skin\u2019s protective barrier.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/a>Is slugging recommended for oily skin types too?<\/h2>\n\n\n\nOily skin types want to avoid using products that are too heavy and can end up clogging your pores. But all skin types can benefit from slugging if they find the right skincare products to use as part of their nightly slugging routine year-round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
