Slugging is the method of applying a hydrating product layer on the skin to make it moisturised and glowing overnight. Most people use skincare products to make their skin glowy and hydrated but not everyone gets the proper result. However, this happens due to the wrong process they follow while applying skincare products. There are some tips for slugging that give better results.

Slugging itself may not cause any harm to your skin, but if you apply to the clogged pores or retained makeup, you could create an infection or outbreak by trapping these particles under the occlusive. That is why firstly –

Cleanse Your Skin

Take a gentle cleanser to remove all oil, makeup residue, dirt and pollutants from your skin. This helps reduce acne and other breakouts.

Scrubbing 

The clogged pores and black and white heads are not easy to remove. For that, you need to exfoliate your skin cells using a good scrubber. Use your finger in a circular motion to remove dead cells and white and blackheads from your skin. This scrubbing also helps in opening the clogged pores.

Hydrate Your Skin with Humectant-based Products

Take a moisturiser that consists of humectant as it helps hold hydration into the skin’s layer.

Use an Occlusive 

Take an occlusive product that suits your skin. Rub it gently on your skin. It helps keep your skin moisturised.

Do this slugging process 30 minutes before bed. This helps keep products in place for a long time.
