What is skin slugging?

Skin slugging is a process in which you apply a heavy layer of facial petroleum jelly and leave it on your skin overnight. The technique got its name because of the way it makes your face look, all shiny and slimy. Let’s take a look at some of its benefits.

It is reasonable

You can simply use your petroleum jelly which starts from Rs 10 and is a small victory in a box that can be used for a long time with great results.

Prevents premature ageing

Slugging makes you look younger and retains the skin’s moisture by creating a plumping effect on the skin which lessens the appearance of wrinkles.

It is not a fad

A simple technique recommended by dermatologists specifically during the winter season is also promoted at home by our mothers and grandmothers.

Protects the skin

The process protects your skin from free radicals as it prevents the outside molecules from entering the skin and causing irritation in your pores.

Repairs damage

Best for dehydrated skin, it prevents your skin from water loss and allows it to repair itself over the night.

Moisturises the skin

The process retains hydration which fills the epidermis like a sponge and thickens but makes your face supple and moisturised.

How to apply?

Cleanse your face and do your minimal skincare routine. Next, apply a thick layer of petroleum jelly and simply dose off. You will wake up to supple and hydrated skin with a fine moisture level.

Who should avoid this?

If you have oily or acne-prone skin then avoid this process as your skin does not require an extra layer of lipids and oil which would block the pores and make your acne worse.
