Slugging is the latest beauty trend to go viral.
The skin care technique is a K-Beauty trend that originated in South Korea, and it has been all over our TikTok FYPs in recent weeks.
It involves putting a light layer of a petroleum-based product, such as Vaseline, over your nighttime skin routine to lock in moisture.

The texture of the product resembles the slime of a slug, hence the trend’s unusual name.
According to the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD), petroleum-based products can help relieve dry skin by providing moisture, making your skin look more youthful-looking and glowy.
To try out this trend, simply cleanse your face before going to bed, apply a serum and moisturiser, and then layer on the petroleum jelly.
In the morning, wash the products off your face to reveal beautiful, glowing skin.
