A variation on slugging 🐌

There is nothing more occlusive than petroleum jelly. I've tried slugging before and while I liked the results, I didn't love the heavy feeling of applying a final layer of Vaseline on my face. I thought about some of my favorite creams such as vanicream which contain petroleum jelly and thought, hmm what about mixing it into my final moisturizer instead? This method is the best of both worlds. I use just a small dab of Vaseline and it amps up the moisturizing factor without feeling too heavy or greasy. Perfect for my sensitive, tretinoin-using winter skin.

Yeah same, I hate vaseline on my face I really REALLY can't stand it🥴 I slug with thick creams and it's as good.

I hear Aquaphor's Healing Ointment is supposed to be amaaazing for slugging and just general use. I haven't found it as a reasonable price where I'm based, but I hear very good things about it frequently.

This is one thing I just can’t get into tbh lol. I feel like If I put something that heavy on my skin my skin would immediately break out. To each their own lol 🐌

I actually love heavy creams personally! I have combination skin where cheeks can get dry, so it really helps those areas especially. I feel it makes skin look less irritated and even toned.
