technique lighter (and recommended) than using Vaseline on the face

The recommendations beauty They spread like wildfire on social networks and we quickly found a new trend that promises to work miracles with our skin, although as we have already seen, there are also gurus who completely mistrust certain beauty techniques, among which is the slugging.

Among so many techniques that are “piled up” we may be a little lost, but he slugging It is nothing more than applying Vaseline all over your face as the last step of the night routine, to prevent loss of hydration and soften the skin. But although it is true that Vaseline prevents water loss, it must also be considered that this Tik Tok trend It is not recommended for all skin types.since it is an occlusive product, so skin that suffers from acne or is oily should avoid it.

And this is where the new facial care technique that we want to talk about comes into play, he slicking. In principle, the idea is the same as that of Vaseline, except that in this case we would use a facial oil, which, in addition to hydrating and nourishing, also prevents transepidermal water loss but in this case without occluding the skin.

Although generally when we apply an oil, we usually do it before the facial cream, in this case it would be the other way around. First we would apply the face cream and then the oil to seal the cream that we have previously applied.

This is how the cream works more intensely and at the same time maintains hydration. The skin will benefit both from the active ingredients of the cream as well as all the properties that the oil provides. The oils, mostly They are nutritious and rich in antioxidants.

In addition, as we told you before, the slugging it is not recommended for oily skin, rather for very dry skin; instead, the technique of slicking it is lighter so It is suitable for all skin typesespecially if the right oil is chosen.
