Luckily, slugging isn\u2019t your average fly-by-night TikTok sensation. People have been \u201cslugging\u201d long before the term was coined over 8 years ago by the K-beauty industry. In fact, this is something your grandma probably is familiar with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSlugging\u201d comes from your skin\u2019s appearance after slathering a healthy amount of Vaseline on your face. It looks like, well, slug juice. While that might not sound appealing, the technique answers all your prayers to the skincare gods and is perfect for anyone with dry or combination skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you struggle with flaky, dry, or cracked skin (especially when seasons are changing), then <strong>you should give slugging a look<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-fe48e5de wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/cdl.booksy.com\/CofRJhvU9sb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Book now<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/27103740\/more-about-slugging-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"What is slugging used for?\n\" class=\"wp-image-40409\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/27103740\/more-about-slugging-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/27103740\/more-about-slugging-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/27103740\/more-about-slugging-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/27103740\/more-about-slugging-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/27103740\/more-about-slugging-2048x1366.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_87_1 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-custom ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\"><p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<\/div><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.booksy.com\/us\/beauty\/what-is-slugging\/#what-is-slugging\" >What is slugging?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.booksy.com\/us\/beauty\/what-is-slugging\/#what-is-slugging-used-for\" >What is slugging used for?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.booksy.com\/us\/beauty\/what-is-slugging\/#vaseline-for-slugging\" >Vaseline for slugging<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.booksy.com\/us\/beauty\/what-is-slugging\/#conclusion\" >Conclusion<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-is-slugging\"><\/span>What is slugging?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Slugging is applying petrolatum (Vaseline) over your daily moisturizer in order to trap the hydration next to the skin<\/strong>. You should not apply makeup over the petroleum jelly layer, so unless you want that fresh-faced dewy look, you\u2019re better off slugging at bedtime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s how we use the product now, but its origins date way back. Applying petrolatum for topical treatments dates back to Pennsylvania\u2019s crude oil fields in the 1800s. Workers applied a sticky drilling by-product to burns and scrapes. This was the first generation of petroleum jelly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once the formula was perfected into a smooth, amber salve in 1870, one jar of petroleum jelly was sold every minute in the U.S.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s been a staple in medicine cabinets for a long time since. But it could have been a lost wisdom if it wasn\u2019t for K-beauty and TikTok giving it new life. So although it fell out of fashion for a while, it\u2019s had a major comeback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-is-slugging-used-for\"><\/span>What is slugging used for?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Slugging keeps your skin hydrated<\/strong>. It is important to note, however, that petrolatum itself doesn\u2019t contain any moisturizing properties. Instead, it is an occlusive meaning it acts as a barrier or seal on your skin. During the slugging process, you apply face lotion first and then petroleum jelly. That locks in the moisture making any hydration regimen more effective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also, despite its thick consistency, it doesn\u2019t clog pores. Its molecules are simply too big for that. Great news if you\u2019re blemish-prone.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On that note,&nbsp;<strong>slugging isn\u2019t for everyone. If you already have oily skin, you don\u2019t need to slug.&nbsp;<\/strong>Even those with combination skin shouldn\u2019t apply it all over the face. Vaseline or other brands of petrolatum should only be applied to dry areas.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are plenty of TikToks showing creators\u2019 glistening faces who\u2019ve just slugged. However,&nbsp;<strong>you can slug all over your body.<\/strong>&nbsp;After showering, use a simple-formula body lotion followed by Vaseline. This could cause clothes to cling or even stain, so this is great if you\u2019ve got time to lounge in your robe for a while. (Nightime is perfect.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are also considerations around the moisturizer you use before slugging. To minimize irritation, the best moisturizer for slugging is an everyday, standard moisturizer.<strong>&nbsp;Avoid formulas with retinol or Vitamin C.&nbsp;<\/strong>More on ingredients to avoid when slugging&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/wellness\/2022\/04\/01\/slugging-skincare-petroleum-jelly-vaseline\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a professional\u2019s opinion,&nbsp;<strong>book an appointment to talk products and regimens.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-fe48e5de wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/cdl.booksy.com\/CofRJhvU9sb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Book now<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/27103818\/Vaseline-for-slugging-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Vaseline for slugging\n\" class=\"wp-image-40414\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/27103818\/Vaseline-for-slugging-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/27103818\/Vaseline-for-slugging-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/27103818\/Vaseline-for-slugging-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/27103818\/Vaseline-for-slugging-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/27103818\/Vaseline-for-slugging-2048x1152.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"vaseline-for-slugging\"><\/span>Vaseline for slugging<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vaseline is the most recognizable brand name for petroleum jelly. It\u2019s also a 100% petrolatum formula. In other words, it\u2019s the real deal. However, you don\u2019t have to use 100% petroleum jelly to see fantastic results.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can find other products on the market that include a percentage of petrolatum and other valuable ingredients.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cerave.com\/skincare\/moisturizers\/moisturizing-cream\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CeraVe Moisturizing Cream<\/a>&nbsp;is a great example.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The wonderful thing about Vaseline, or petroleum jelly in general, is that it is considered extremely safe.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.aad.org\/public\/diseases\/eczema\/childhood\/treating\/treat-babies\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pediatricians even recommend<\/a>&nbsp;slathering infants in it after bathtime so their delicate skin doesn\u2019t dry out. You can also pair it sparingly with light exfoliation (about 1-2 times a week).

If you haven\u2019t already made it part of your routine, it\u2019s time to dig your jar out of storage. It\u2019s a fabulous DIY treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, if you\u2019re in the mood for a more personalized regimen, partner with your local aesthetician.
