A pharmacist has explained why Australians are adding more “laziness” to their beauty routines than ever before, but that petroleum jelly – their favorite “slug” ointment – isn’t necessarily made as a face mask.
The Korean trend called ‘slugging’ covers the face with a thick layer that mimics the smooth, slimy marks left behind by a typical garden snail.
The wearer usually wakes up with glowing skin and the skin appears smoother and softer.

Skincare expert Shosh Eisner says an overnight mask and “moisture tank” are helpful, but TikTok’s version of applying petroleum jelly to the face after an overnight skincare regimen leaves a lot to be desired.

“Petroleum jelly is also known as petroleum jelly, which is a byproduct of the refining process and does not penetrate the skin at all,” he told FEMAIL.
It literally sits on the surface like a barrier and prevents moisture from evaporating, which may explain some of the softening effect.
“Your skin is smooth and soft in the morning because it leaves a thin film on the skin, like a lubricant, but it can also clog pores, causing acne.

“It ruins your pillowcase because it doesn’t literally sink into your skin. If you move all night, it will get into your hair and bed.”
Ms. Eisner recommends applying a thick layer of QED Skincare Ultra Sensitive Face Balm instead of gelatin, a naturally penetrating balm made from bioavailable herbs (nut oil, shea butter, and vitamin E).
Your face will look bright for a while and then the product will be slowly absorbed by your skin while you sleep, preventing moisture loss and pushing the rich moisture deep into your skin. Your beds are safe. Your pores are safe,” he said.
To pamper yourself, start by cleansing your skin immediately before applying the cream, so as not to miss the neck and décolleté area.
Lethargy is a great remedy for particularly dry skin, so it’s most effective during the winter months when the air is cooler and less humid.
“My skin was very dry due to hormonal changes, so I’ve been using Slugging Balm twice a week for a few weeks now. My dry, sensitive skin loves it. It feels soft and smooth in the morning and is generally less sensitive,” she said.

Make it smooth on skin and don’t worry about looking shiny because that’s the goal.
Now sleep knowing that the balm works slowly and is absorbed while you sleep.
When you wake up in the morning, you will see that your skin is moist and smooth like silk. There may still be some shine. Cleanse your skin as you normally would and start the day with youthful, moist, soft and protected skin.
