What is slugging and how does it help your skin?<\/h3>\n

Slugging is a skincare technique where you apply an occlusive product as the last step in your nighttime routine. It helps by preventing moisture from evaporating from your skin, making it especially helpful for dry, irritated or sensitive skin during colder months. The process doesn’t add moisture but locks in what your other skincare products provide.<\/div>\n

\n

How do you do slugging at home?<\/h3>\n

Apply all your evening skincare products first, then spread a thin layer of occlusive all over your face. The feeling will be waxy and greasy, which is normal, and you don\u2019t need to do it every night. Treat it as an extra step whenever your skin feels particularly dry or chapped.<\/div>\n

\n

Which products are good for slugging?<\/h3>\n

Aquaphor and Vaseline are commonly used for slugging. Both are non-comedogenic, so they won’t clog your pores or cause breakouts. If you want a budget-friendly and animal product-free option, Vaseline works well, and both can be found easily on the high street.<\/div>\n

\n

Why does skin get drier in the colder months?<\/h3>\n

Cooler weather brings drier air with less humidity, alongside central heating, causing skin to lose moisture much faster. The sudden drop in temperature also damages the skin\u2019s barrier, making it more sensitive to factors like pollution. These changes can lead to dry, irritated and sensitive skin for many people.<\/div>\n

\n

Do you need to slug every night for best results?<\/h3>\n

You don\u2019t need to slug every night. It\u2019s an optional extra step to add only when your skin feels dry or needs some extra moisture retention. Using slugging as needed helps you keep your skin comfortable without overdoing it.<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
