slugging on Reddit's Skincare Addiction forum, and you'll come up with pages on pages of results. I know what you're thinking. Given the skin care world's love of , the immediate mental picture is a slug sliding its way across your face in the name of bouncier, softer skin.

“And one of my favorites ways of doing this is slugging, which us a moisturizing technique, which I’ve been doing for years on my lips and eyelids and has been a technique recommended by derms for years to treat conditions such as eczema. It consists of applying Vaseline Petroleum Jelly as an occlusive moisturizer to hydrate the skin and seal in moisture and your skincare products overnight, and then washing it off with a gentle cleanser the next day.” The process is simple: You go through your nightly skin care routine as usual, and then seal everything in with Vaseline.
