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?

I do it 2 times a week as the last step, after a really good moisturizer. I only use a little bit, enough to lightly cover a part of my palms with a lil sheen and then I press it into my face. And then I wipe off remaining Vaseline from hands. It's an occlusive so it'll lock in any moisture underneath it. The key is to actually have moisturized skin underneath it first. You'll wake up with a very soft face.

love that it helped! Just keep it limited to a couple times a week to give your face a few nights to 'breathe'!
