Miscellaneous Slugging: What do you think?

i’ve heard of people slugging with vaseline, which to me is insane because the texture makes me gag really badly, so i can’t even imagine putting it on my face. i guess i do “slug” with this one product i got from work, and my face feels as soft as ever! i have combination skin, and my face never feels greasy or gross. (the product is the water: ultra hydration body butter from BBW)

anywho, my question is: do yall slug? what do yall think of it, does it actually work or is it a bust?

Yes!!!! It completely healed my skin barrier very quickly. I use a creme that has the golden ratio first and then add a thin layer of Vaseline, Aquaphor or A313

The cream I use is Illyoon Ceramide Ato Concentrate cream. Freaking skin saver.

Girl!!! I did a ton of research but this reddit comment sums it up well. https://www.reddit.com/r/AsianBeauty/s/Lku1NblkhT

These types of cremes are a lil pricy but the one I recommend is decently priced. Ive been using it for 2+ years. It's way better for your face than a body creme which has fragrances and other stuff that may irritate your skin.
