@@teresa363472 and Kayaking. Wow, I’m so impressed that you have hung onto your youth. Not many people 20 years younger than you can do that. Keep it going and staying healthy at such a great age and Thank You for sharing this great information with us. ❤
Vaseline has been used for years by rich and poor. I love using it. Didn't know about slugging until now. I believe drinking water and eating right is very important for your overall health.
I wash my face every night and every morning….at night I use a rough glove to remove dead skin and makeup. When clean I put a small amount of Vaseline on my face. After and 1 hour, I wipe of any excess. My face is awesome. I am 68.
I use nivea creme has a day cream and vaseline has a night cream I have used so many different creams in 64 years and found that these two products have the best results without spending a load of money x
I'm 42, started using Vaseline two weeks ago, can already see a huge improvement in the areas around my eyes, it works magic. Shame I didn't hear about it earlier.
You’re still pretty young and taking care of your skin. Keep up the great work. I’m 63 and started doing the Korean skincare routine about 15 years ago and at first I thought 7-8 steps will take me a couple hours. I have gotten really fast at it now and it does work. I haven’t done this slugging before, but I have heard a tiny bit about it. So I’m going to start tonight and thanks to the Dr. for her very helpful tutorial and to several of the comments that I have read. It always helps someone when others share their experience. ❤
I'm 54 and have no crow feet. I've been using vaseline around my eyes every night for the last 18 years. It was the only thing I can afford. I also use the Eucerine thick cream around my eyes and I would apply the vaseline on afterwards. It does work.
I have dry, sensitive, eczema, and acne prone skin with active breakouts. Used slugging with vaseline for the last 3 days, and my cystic ance and active breakouts are healing and have dramatically reduced.
I do the same thing! I use Tret 5-6 days a week and like to take a day to just use a basic moisturizer and top it off with the healing ointment. Living in MN and getting into colder weather, this is a life saver!
Thank you for clarifying that we should not slug over retinol! I was still seeing redness and dryness when I tried this and your explanation makes so much sense! Thank you for that important information!
I always loved Vaseline for the longest time due to having atopic dermatitis/eczema, and this is despite really hating the greasy feeling of most of the thicccccc moisturizers typically recommended for dry skin (Nivea creme, Bioderma atoderm creme or baume, etc). I always felt protected when using it and it felt like my skin was finally getting a chance to rest and relax when I applied Vaseline. Now I never really slugged, only used it on dry patches and the lips, but recently I started slugging using either baby mineral oil or generic white petrolatum, and my skin feels a lot at ease and far more soft and supple now.
@@HappyLife-wv5msmy husband has it and all of the information is so helpful. He has a beard, but he gets the medication the Dr. gave him right inside of it. It isn’t helping very well so I’m hoping he will try any of these recommendations. He doesn’t like to go to bed feeling dirty so it’s going to be a challenge at first. ❤
Eczema-prone, acne-prone, sensitive and dry skin here. After my second eczema flare and seborrhea this year due to the trigger of contact dermatitis due to a popular gentle cleanser, I'm able to slug safely. I just need to make sure that my skin is clean/ washed with cleanser prior slugging. And I use the cerave moisturizing cream, aveeno eczema itchy balm and vaseline. I only slug opposite of my adapalene routine during off days. I can no longer tolerate salicylic acid wash even 0.5 percent and glycolic toner 7% (using those few times a week for one to two years). I can only use cerave benzoly peroxide wash in AM and adapalene in PM.
I have been using cerave ointment on active acne for over 1 month now. for every other day morning and night. I have acne for over 15 years now. but with this cerave ointment, I thank the lady that Point it to me at the pharmacy here in France 🇫🇷 it only cerave ointment that change my looks.
Cetaphil came up with a new Cracked Skin Repair Balm. That one isn't petrolatum based and has 1% dimenthicone. It really works wonders on my cracked hands. It's way less greasy than many petroleum based products so I use it for slugging too. Vanicream also has a new ointment which is not petrolatum based. Very curious about that one
Thank you for this informative video! I love to use the slugging technique to heal my dry hands. Overuse of hand sanitizer and harsh soaps can impair the skin barrier on our hands, the winter dry and cold conditions can exacerbate this condition. I apply a thicker Aveeno cream on my hands at night, apply Aquaphor healing ointment on top, and cover my hands with thin cotton gloves for the night. In the morning, my hands feel and look healthy again. I also apply Aquaphor to my lips and around my eyes prior to using my Adaplene at night.
I have been using tretinoin.1% all over my face and around eyes. I can tolerate it pretty well. I don’t have any irritation but just in general dry skin. I used to use up until two weeks ago my tretinoin around my eyes followed by moisturizer then 20-30 min later Vaseline or aquaphor. I never had any irritation. I am confused if I should continue to use Vaseline as my last step around my eyes or not? Since I use tretinoin as well. I am female 45 years old. I do have dry skin and I have been using retinol/retinoid different strength for past five years.
Many years ago, while living in Hawaii, my younger brother developed severe exema, the Pesiateucuan recome ded nightltly application of Crisco (commonly used for cooking). Guess What? It Worked!!😅
I did slugging yesterday for the first time, did it in the morning since I was in home office and didn't have to go out. Even if I like what it did on my face, I think I'm unfortunately prone to milia because there were some very small white bumps under my eyes 😢
Grannies always know better, a lot of the comments I see when people mentions vaseline is that it is a thing their grandmothers used to do back in the day it is not a new trend.
@@jcombs5495 That is the way it goes with trends they invent a cutesy name but it is all the same old crap. Repackaging does wonders for marketing they thrive on that, have been for years.
I was looking on TH-cam for help with dry skin on my legs my age 71yr old boxers have been useing vaseline for years didn't know I could use it for anything else
Thank you for your explanation! I've been doing slugging method to repair my skin barrier for a week, and it really really works on me! 😆 but is it okay if I lay Niacinamide serum under the petroleum jelly? I just want to improve the result by adding Niacinamide😁
My nana used Vaseline on her face from age 12. Aged 93 she looked like a porcelain doll… In hospital having just passed, the doctors looked at each other, “… her face, how old is she…? “We’ll… that is remarkable, my young colleagues need to see this…” - Think the Catholic art version of Mary. Amazing stuff🙏🏻
93, that’s amazing. My mom had just turned 90 a couple weeks before she passed away. I’m sure you have so many wonderful memories of her as I do with my sweet mom. ❤
I always get irritated when I use aquaphor! Is there an active ngredient in aquaphor that I would react to? It makes my lips. literally PEEL off. I do great with plain vaseline
I can't use petroleum products> I have a combination skin so they break me out around my chin and nose so I use Vie E oil from a capsule. After I have used all my serums mad moisture sprays and moisturising products, I break open a vit E capsule and squeeze it out onto my palm and rub my hands together then I press my hands onto my skin. I really don't know why seed oil do not break me out but petroleum products and anything with silicones break me out.
Hi Dr. J, I have a question. After 6 months of acute stress my skin has thinned and I have thinning hair for the first time. I am only 35 and have always had good hair and skin. Will it recover now that the stress has stopped?
WHAT ABOUT FOR SUNSCREEN??? I love doing the “slugging” technique by using Vaseline on my face as the last step in my skincare routine in the PM to seal in the moisture. It has done wonders for my dry sensitive skin! My only issue is in the morning I only wash my face with water and no cleansers as my skin is sensitive and dry, but I am worried that when I apply sunscreen in the morning it is not forming the proper layer of film it needs to form with my skin to provide that sun protection??? Due to the Vaseline being an occlusive and not letting the sunscreen inside?? So should I be washing my face with a proper cleanser in the morning to remove the Vaseline off my face before applying sunscreen in the morning??? Or do you think washing with water is enough and that sunscreen will be fine to apply on top of it?
How are other people washing it off of their face in the morning? I had to use my cleansing balm twice and then scrub it off my face with a dry wash cloth. Defeated the purpose of using it at all. How is anyone benefiting from this?????
Thank you Dr. Liu for this excellent explanation about slugging. I have combination mature skin and using BP wash and Tretinoin at night ( I am working on that) and I am having flaky skin. Do you think I could no acids and use Cerave one night per week? If yes, how much could I use for my face? Other than Cerave, could be La Roche Posay Cicaplast balm? . Thank you again.
I think what you’re asking is can you add an exfoliant? Yep just avoid with tret and always good to start slowly like once weekly. And cicaplast is another great option for slugging
I get very dry and itchy legs during the winter time. I also suffer from eczema which gets exasperated by the dry winter air. However I'm confused about the Cereve Healing Ointment. Do I use it alone when I slug or should I use another moisturizer under it? I do have the Cereve Moisturizing Cream.
I am not a dermatologist but the rule is the more liquid a product is the order it should be put on your sin and hyaluronic acid is liquid so that would be first then a moisturizer , being creamy, and ending with slugging product ( I use petroleum jelly on some of my face ).
Good morning, I consulted with a primary doctor and she said petrolatum is absorbed by the skin and goes thorough the system to the kidney, do you have any other organic options for slugging ?
That’s my big concern as well. Skin is our biggest organ and things applied on our skin are absorbed into our blood in less than half an hour. How do you suppose the nicotine patch works?
Nicotine patches are a drug made to be absorbed into your skin and would not work if you put Vaseline on first before the patch. It sits on the top of your skin as a barrier .@@CAngel-x9u
Is it possible to use a cleanser with AHA and salicylic acids before slugging? It’s not like you’re putting retinol on and leaving it there… or does enough of it still remain on the skin for irritation to possibly occur throughout the night?
Im concerned about any health effects of vaseline. Can we use coconut oil instead...ive been using it before bed, and seems to help a bit..but is vasioine better?
Thanks for the info! I have acne prone face that is T zone oily. Im using tret once a week. How often would you recommend slugging? Prob w aquaphor yea?
Slugging should not be done with active ingredients like adapalene, retinoids, vit c, AHA's or BHA's as it seals in those ingredients underneath. It will most likely lead to more irritation which defeats the whole purpose of slugging in the first place.
This might be a silly question, but do you think slugging could help with stretch mark prevention by putting aquaphor over your normal stretch mark cream or oil?
Petrolatum and petroleum jelly are actually the same thing. They are both semisolid mixtures of hydrocarbons. The term "petrolatum" is actually a more technical term for petroleum jelly, which is often used in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. So, in terms of their chemical composition, petrolatum and petroleum jelly are identical.
I’m just so confused how a petroleum a byproduct from the oil industry just blows my mind. Please help me understand when we have healing healthy butters. Not that Korean women don’t have a beautiful edge
Vaseline sits on the skin as an occlusive, it provides an irritant free barrier for your skin. Hospitals have been using it for burn patients and as she said it is a good ointment for cuts etc. Butters do not provide that. Think of it as a shield for your skin keeping moisture in and environmental irritants out.
I am milia and acne prone. From my experience, it generally really depends on my skin's state and stress level. It's why I general prefer to use vaseline during the night when I am able to relax and my body temperature does not fluctuate much from external reasons.
Pimples take on the orders of few weeks to develop. What you see the next day is merely ones that is ready to erupt and not from slugging. Now if you’ve been slugging for fee weeks and then see increased in pimples then that could be more of a possibility
Mam today I watched your video on skincare I want to ask you I got chicken pox three months back nd my doctor told me to use Doxycycline hydrochloride lactic acid bacillus capsules Nd Isotretinoin soft ge again capsules ip20mg What can I do to remove it fast please help mam . Could you please tell me that? Cheers

"Slugging" is NOT anything new. I'm 62 & have been doing this decades old beauty regimen since my teens. The use of Vaseline as a deep moisturizer & protectant is not a new phenomenon....This has been around for decades

Have been using vaseline since the age of 18.
It was the only product that I could afford.
I don't have 1 wrinkle.
How do you personally use it, hun?

What happend about slugging?
Isn't Petrolatum bad for health in general?...our skin absorb everything and it goes directly to our blood...
No it isn't you put your regular moisturiser on your face first then add a thin layer of vaseline which then keeps mpisture locked in.
Is petrolatum the same as paraffinum liquidum? Coś i love NIVEA CREAM..
I get very dry and itchy legs during the winter time. I also suffer from eczema which gets exasperated by the dry winter air. However I'm confused about the Cereve Healing Ointment. Do I use it alone when I slug or should I use another moisturizer under it? I do have the Cereve Moisturizing Cream.
Put on the moisturizing cream and then the healing ointment on top
Can you use hyaluronic acid before slugging?
What about peptide serum?
I am not a dermatologist but the rule is the more liquid a product is the order it should be put on your sin and hyaluronic acid is liquid so that would be first then a moisturizer , being creamy, and ending with slugging product ( I use petroleum jelly on some of my face ).
can i do the slugging routine in the morings instead of night so keep the grease off my pillow?
Can I slug in the morning? Or just in the evening??
Good morning, I consulted with a primary doctor and she said petrolatum is absorbed by the skin and goes thorough the system to the kidney, do you have any other organic options for slugging ?
I don't think this is true, but you could try vegetable glycerin as an occlusive, good luck
Castor oil is another option.
That’s my big concern as well. Skin is our biggest organ and things applied on our skin are absorbed into our blood in less than half an hour.

Just mix some beeswax and castor oil.
Slugging is done at night, right? 💝
Dr. Jenny what do you recommend as far as active/inactive ingredients regarding moisturizer or products for dry skin before slugging?
Thanks for the info! I have acne prone face that is T zone oily. Im using tret once a week. How often would you recommend slugging? Prob w aquaphor yea?
Can we combine adapalene with slugging ?
Slugging should not be done with active ingredients like adapalene, retinoids, vit c, AHA's or BHA's as it seals in those ingredients underneath. It will most likely lead to more irritation which defeats the whole purpose of slugging in the first place.
When you say not to use actives before slugging that also includes niacinamide or vitamin c?
Is it safe for pregnancy? The vaseline
Can i use niacinamide before slugging?
Hi Doc! Great video. Can I put things like buffet w/copper peptides, alpha arbutin, niacinamide before moisturizer and aquaphor? Thanks!!!
This might be a silly question, but do you think slugging could help with stretch mark prevention by putting aquaphor over your normal stretch mark cream or oil?
Use Bio oil. It's the best for stretch marks.

As it is occlusive, what cleanser can you suggest to remove or wash off petrolatum?
@@Bryyun thanks for the tip.
Maybe I missed it but what’s the difference between 100% petroleum jelly and Petrolatum ?
Petrolatum and petroleum jelly are actually the same thing. They are both semisolid mixtures of hydrocarbons. The term "petrolatum" is actually a more technical term for petroleum jelly, which is often used in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. So, in terms of their chemical composition, petrolatum and petroleum jelly are identical.
Helloll can you you it on your body? Thank you
强烈种草这款cerave 凡士林，家有沙漠大干皮湿疹娃她很喜欢视频中A家的凡士林，我去买支cerave 这款让她试试，谢谢博主把每款都比较的那么详细❤
I’m just so confused how a petroleum a byproduct from the oil industry just blows my mind. Please help me understand when we have healing healthy butters. Not that Korean women don’t have a beautiful edge
Vaseline sits on the skin as an occlusive, it provides an irritant free barrier for your skin. Hospitals have been using it for burn patients and as she said it is a good ointment for cuts etc. Butters do not provide that. Think of it as a shield for your skin keeping moisture in and environmental irritants out.
Ok. Are we talking about PETROLEUM Jelly?
Yes
Can do slugging skin on the body ?
Yes. I recommend my eczema patients to lather on petrolatum as their moisturizer or over
I have never heard someone pronounce petroleum this way before in my life. It’s this
can i use aha and retinoids when slugging with cicaplast baume?
You can may increase irritation
Can it cause acne? Or pimple? Or milia?
The concept or use of petrolatum itself doesn’t but everyone’s skin is different
I am milia and acne prone. From my experience, it generally really depends on my skin's state and stress level. It's why I general prefer to use vaseline during the night when I am able to relax and my body temperature does not fluctuate much from external reasons.
I tried slugging for 1 day and got a pimple. So no for me
Pimples take on the orders of few weeks to develop. What you see the next day is merely ones that is ready to erupt and not from slugging. Now if you’ve been slugging for fee weeks and then see increased in pimples then that could be more of a possibility
cerave is the best
vanicream isnt good

Am 26 I have pores on my face, though i started using vaseline not long ago i hope it works, cause people always give me 32.
I would never ever ever use petrolatum or Vaseline on my face…instead I would use it on my hands and sole of my feet. My personal choice.
Great for that too
Why are you spelling petroleum wrong and pronouncing it wrong?
Petrolatum is the right way it is also known as petroleum jelly

next time demonstrate how much, how to clean off
"Slugging" is NOT anything new. I'm 62 & have been doing this decades old beauty regimen since my teens. The use of Vaseline as a deep moisturizer & protectant is not a new phenomenon....This has been around for decades
I would break out like a champ😂😂😂😂😂😂and it feels a bit icky but i do use ot for many things.
The music is like an annoying musquito when you try to sleep.
