In this episode of The Holistic Skin Guru, host Aamena explores the popular skincare trend known as "slugging." She discusses the correct approach to slugging, emphasizing that a pea-sized amount of occlusive ointment is sufficient, and warns against the potential pitfalls of using heavy products like Vaseline, especially for those with acne-prone or oily skin. Aamena explains that slugging involves layering an occlusive ointment over nighttime facial products to create a barrier that allows the skin to absorb moisture more effectively. She suggests alternative products like barrier creams or nappy cream for those looking to hydrate and protect their skin.
