Skin slugging refers to sealing in your skincare products with an occlusive layer in order to lock in ingredients and prevent moisture loss. Typically, skin slugging is done before bed (since a layer of Vaseline on your face is likely to get in the way of your daily activities).It is a wonderful way to protect your skin barrier, particularly during harsh weather, Dr. Lamb tells Parade.
Is Skin Slugging Safe for Mature Skin?
Also, Dr. Lamb advises women with adult acne stay away from skin slugging. "If your skin is acne prone, occlusive moisturizer can clog pores. [But] if you have dry skin, it is a perfectly safe option," she says. Stop skin slugging if you get an allergic reaction or clogged pores, she shares.
Before bed and after layering your skincare ingredients from lightest to heaviest (similar to skin flooding) on cleansed skin, add a thin occlusive layer to retain moisture and the beneficial ingredients in your serums and moisturizers.Related: I’m an Esthetician, and This Is the #1 Skincare Product I Recommend for Women Over 50
