I know it’s out of topic but he looks like my favorite teacher and I feel so happy watching your videos, best man ever.
Point to be noted: don’t slug under eyes area if you are prone to having milia.
Thank u! I’ve been doing that lol time to stop 😅😅
I was just told about slugging by a young co-worker (my daughter's age) last week. I had never heard of it. I've been doing it every night now and is my skin ever soft! I thought for sure the first morning I'd wake up with pimples. Nope. I've used Vaseline overnight on my lips before and I'd wake up with them nice and plump.
Thanks for explaining slugging so well. The best and most informative one i have seen.
Thanks for this breakdown, very informative! I have bee using the cerave ointment around my eyes this winter and it is very soothing. Really loving your channel and especially your musical short videos! 🤗
Hi Doctor Dan -
I hope you’re having a great day ! Your skin looks amazing as always :)
So happy to hear your review / kudos to Kiehls… my former boyfriend used the men’s line and when we lived together I used his products one day when I was out of my skin care and I fell in love instantly with the way they all felt on my skin so I used them intermittently but I saw such great results I just kept using his almost exclusively- we’re no longer together and I don’t have the luxury of skincare product sharing- however, when I was visiting my daughter and son-in-law in Palm Springs last year, I stopped in the Kiehls boutique in downtown PS and just fell in love with the line all over again I bought the moisturizer that you reviewed in this video or used in this video as well as the Midnight recovery moisturizer and the Crème de Corps nourishing body oil in the travel size spray is amazing ! I also discovered and love their hair care line - the shampoo and conditioner are wonderful and nourishing and smell amazing- also the eye balm for puffiness is instantly cooling / soothing and amazing. I truly love Kiehls and I love that when you visit particularly the boutiques they are so generous with samples. Anyway I know this video is about slugging but I so 💙 Khiel’s.
I live in Florida, A month ago my face started 🔥 I went to the Dermatologist she told me I have facial allergy, She told me to put Vaseline on my face for 3 weeks, I don't wear makeup, Vaseline make my face look great love it.
Best explanation on the net. Thanks!
Appreciate that!!🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I tried it the other day with Vaseline jelly stick. *chef’s kiss
Congrats on hitting 100,000 subscribers I am loving your channel and all the skincare advice you put out there!!!
Thank you, Melanie!! I am still in disbelief 🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️cheers to more fun here!
I have been using petroleum jelly for at least 40years or more ... in my teens! And my lips is always pinkish till today even in my 60s.
Love your program and sharing .
Love from Singapore 🇸🇬💋❤️👍
Hieeeee👋🏽 I love that you put the product on for us 😊
Thank you for appreciating that!🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Love your channel
Wow these is so informative. Thanks Doc . 😍🥰 ⚘ 👍💯
Great information, thank you!
Thank you doc, this was super informative!
Thank you so much for watching! Happy to hear that 😁🙏🏼😊🤙
This method, specifically with Aquaphor or Vaseline has been AMAZING for my very dry, sensitive skin. My skin is easily irritated, tends to be flaky/dry on the brow, forehead and nose area. This extra step of occlusive ointment is the only thing that makes my face feel normal. No flakes...no irritation...it's great. Just have to endure the initial greasiness. Also I've found that avoiding harsh cleansers and sticking to something moisturizing like Vanicream or Cerave hydrating cleanser has also helped a LOT.
THANK YOU for pointing out that Aquaphor has lanolin. I’m horrible about checking the ingredient list beforehand and only check it after I’ve had a reaction and I’m trying to figure out why 🤦🏽♀️
Thank you for this video! So informative 🤓
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thanks for reviewing Dr. Sugai!! Unfortunately, sluggish breaks me out very badly. The good news is that there's Skinfix barrier repair, Kiehl's and many more awesome products! ❤😉🙏🏽🤙🏽
Thank you, great video
Very very helpful, thank you
This is so helpful, I've been wanting to slug and been kind of scared to do so but the step by step and product recommendations are awesome! Thank you doctor!
Slugging is just washing your face and putting on lotion. Have you never done this?
@@jona1han2k4 aw, looks like SOMEONE is misinformed! You're adorable 😍 Have a great day! Jesus loves you my friend!
@@JaelWasFramed no not misinformed 😂 you haven’t been doing basic skin care routines
@@jona1han2k4 Nope, never. Never in my life. Not once in my 37 years on this earth have I ever done any basic skin care. :::dramatic eye roll:::: Dude, slugging isn't just washing your face and putting on lotion. It is washing your face, putting on lotion AND THEN SEALING THE LOTION IN WITH A SEALANT! Like Vaseline or Aquaphor! Like, are you crazy? Did u NOT watch the video? IT CLEARLY SHOWS THIS! Not sure what else to say. Take your misinformation somewhere else man. Crazy...
Ty love the shine 💖
Great information. I guess if this is called ‘slugging’, I have been doing this off and on for years. I use it all over my face, neck, on dry feet with socks, on hands with socks, on eyelashes, and specifically on lips come winter. As a child, my mom would slather a thin layer on our faces before we went out in the cold, each winter. Vaseline is pretty wonderful and decently cheap to buy.
I never slugged bc I thought it would clog my pores but I definitely would like to try to get that hint of glowing-ness. Thank you so much, I always learn so much from your videos! I love the giant Aquaphor 😂😂
Hope you like it! Lmk how it goes and thank you! Go giant Aquaphor!😆🙏🏼🤙
Tell me you have never washed your face without telling me you have never washed your face.
@@jona1han2k4literally what are you saying
My grandma did slugging in the 1950's minus the acids. I'm pretty sure she used fruit juices to peel dead skin but would use thick cream she made of glycerin, lanolin and cocoa butter. Granted we have pretty good genes.
enjoy the video - i grew up with the tub of vaseline and used it on my boys as a barrier cream. still use it. i like aquaphor too - a little pricier in canada and i dont think ive ever seen the cerave healing ointment here in Vancouver.
Fellow Canadian here! Unfortunately, Cerave healing ointment isn't offered in Cerave's Canadian product line. I agree, Aquaphor can be pricier, but I always snag some when they're on sale. Larger quantities are cheaper per unit as well (although I prefer to get the small 50g squeeze tubes as each one lasts me a long time).
Thank you for this level of detail, Dr. Sugai!! One thing I have seen some sites say is that slugging can cause oily skin to become even oilier -- not just trap the oil in, but cause even more sebum production. Is this true? (I have a very oily t-zone that nothing seems to be able to reduce, although just very occasional acne)
Great video
Dr.D. You are hilarious. Slug responsibly‼️
Vaseline comes in a squeeze tube! It’s harder to find. Check the baby aisle.
Omg I always use the spray on my face it works awesome
Thank you! Very helpful- I was wondering about using with tretinoin, I was about to try it. Yikes!
Slugging was a huge trend on r/skincare addiction like 5-6 years ago. As a tret 0.1% user I’m super prone to wind burn when skiing so slugging gets me back to normal in 1-2 days after a cold ski day.
You can also apply some occlusive on your cheeks before you go skiing as well (to prevent that windburn). And don't forget your sunscreen!
what do you use
Keep on slugging. 🤗
I love how you explain it! Thank you.x
Been doing it a week now and the difference is noticeable
you're so funny. i love your sense of humor lol
🙏🏼🙏🏼😊😃😎
I just found your channel and love it so far. It helped me find some products for my teen daughter.
The thing about slugging, is I really believe this WASN’T started by Korean skin care. Many African Americans have used this technique for many, many decades, way before Korean skincare trends and popularity.
Word.
yup
Haven't had active ezcema for decades. Am very careful what is applied on my skin; also laundry detergent. NOT CLEAR what you were saying about eczema?? I use bakuchiol sometimes. I LOVE a glow within look if I can get it to my dull skin, especially going out wearing BBcream or foundation. So, "slugging" very much interests me. TYVM
Hi from Los Angeles first time slugging tonight with aquaphor
Hi Doc! Great video. Can I put things like buffet w/copper peptides, alpha arbutin, niacinamide before moisturizer and aquaphor? You only mentions HA. Thanks!!!
Walmart sells a small squeezy tube of petroleum jelly. It's called equate baby and it's 2.5 oz.
I've started to worry now. I've been using tretinoin 0.05% every second night for 15 years and it's amazing. I always put it straight onto damp skin, followed by Avene Hydrance Riche. In the past couple of years, with hitting 50, I discovered Cerave and it's now tretinoin on damp skin, Cerave Moisturizing cream for dry to very dry, and a pretty thick layer of Cerave Healing Ointment. But you said the ointment could leave the tretinoin absorbing too much. If my skin feels good, do I need to worry?
Hello! How about the undereye? Is it recommended? I'm a little scared of melia. Thank you !
Thank you.
Thank you!🙏🏼😁🤙
Can you do a session on alopecia?
Great info thank you once again.
Doctor, could you please review the new Youth to the people Retinal + Niacinamide serum ? 🙏🏼
Your awesome
Since I have tried slug my face I noticed that under my eyes became more dry. I tried the hyaluronic acid + rose seed oil + Cerave lotion and aquaphor.
Hello Dr. Sugai. My question is, should you avoid slugging after you have done a dermarolling session? Thanks
Thoughts on Cetaphil? Difference from CeraVe?
Can you do a review on Particle face cream for men. Does it really do what ut says?
Hey Doc! Hoe you are doing great.
Why does tretinoin make skin of some patients oily? Not just glowy, but greasy. I couldn’t have enough blotting papers to get rid of that oil. Seems quite a common problem because many people report it on Reddit. I haven’t found any plausible explanation for this.
Oh my god, I need the huge Aquaphor tub! But actually filled so I could bath in Aquaphor…
Is IT good for Rosaceae?
Is it good to slugging every night or every other day? Thank you waves from Perú 🇵🇪
I think you can use vaseline lip therapy during the day for your face as it also has spf15.
SPF 50 with a high PPD rating is ideal
Should you wash it off in the morning. As in cleanse the face?
Wow you’re beautiful 😮
Have you tried Albolene?
Is slugging ok while using a prescription with adapalene? Is there any use in putting the adapalene on top?
Thank you doc., does that mean, that Vitamin C is also not good for slugging (with Vaseline)?
Do I need to wash off the Vaseline in the morning? May I just go ahead and use hyaluronic acid and then spf moisturizer and cleanse at bedtime? Just wondering if the hyaluronic acid and spf will penetrate the Vaseline from the previous night.
Great info! Kiehls disappoints me I think they handed their brand over to a marketing company. Very problematic
i have 2 tubs of petroleum jelly. one for my hands and feet. and the other one is only for my face.
Can you slug on top of something such as the ordinary lactic acid
Can İ use natural ointment based on oils and wax instead of petrolatum jelly? Thank you!
Is it a ok to use cerave moisturizer and then aquaphor on neck overnight for wrinkles
Aquaphore is 4-5x the price of vaseline
Can’t you use this in day time for glowing glassy skin ( not going in sun but to say a party or something ) ?
How do you wash off the vasaline the next morning
Can you keep your moisturizer in the fridge?
Humm. SEINT makeup have petrolatum, minéral oil, lanoline, wax... Is IT the same of slugging too?
What about sunscreen?
Can we use vaseline as the first step in nighttime routine before applying retinol
Not a good idea. Your skin can't absorb anything put on after vaseline.
I know it’s not a good idea . You are right but from the past few days after cleaning i apply vaseline. Then rinse it off with water only. After then i apply retinol serum followed by thick moisturizer. My skin feels so better in the morning . Very smooth. thanks for suggestion ☺️
Can i replace the products by végétebal oil and butter?
can I put rosehip seed oil on top of it after slugging?
Could slugging be done with a tretinoin routine?
Need to be careful when applying over tretinoin as it may increase penetration into the skin and cause irritation. Not guaranteed that it will irritate but increases chances of it.
❤
can you slug during the day and if you can, would you slug AFTER putting on sunscreen?
Yes you can if you’re not too oily or with active acne. I put the thinnest film under my sunscreen
If you slug at night should you wash it off in the morning ?
Can you apply Vaseline and then sunscreen on top? Would this compromise the protection by not creating an even film on the skin?
Best to use vaseline at nighttime to keep your skin moisturised whilst you sleep. Wash face in the morning and apply your regular moisturiser and sunscreen on top of that.
I found Vaseline in tubes, 0.6 oz (18ml) & 3.25 oz (97.5 ml).
Nice!!!
Is it ok to slug during the day instead of at night?
👍
Can you slug in the morning, y you use tretonine at night?
Should be fine!
What about spf
WHAT?! So what do we use Neosporin for??? I always thought it was for open cuts!
I knew oily skin was best… I wish I never took accutane
It ruined my oil glands inside and out
Now it’s dull and dead looking
I have very dry skin, especially on my legs. Would slugging work for legs? I’m also thinking it might be great for hands and feet.
I'm not a Dr. but I have super dry skin and I use bag balm everywhere. I use Cetaphil moisturizing cream first and then the bag balm. I use it thickly on my legs and it works like a dream. I use it on every part of my body and it is a life changer.
@apurplevelveteen thanks so much!!
@@apurplevelveteen what is bag balm, if you don’t mind my asking? I have never heard of it before. Thank you so much.
@@jackiefox7224 I'm copy and pasting an answer to this. :) "While Bag Balm does contain Vaseline, it also contains lanolin, which is a wax produced by the sebaceous glands of sheep. Additionally, it contains petrolatum, which is a type of paraffin and is used to protect the skin." Bag Balm was originally developed in the late 1890s so farmers had something to use to soothe cow udders that would get raw and chapped from giving milk to their baby calves.
@@apurplevelveteen Thank you very much for your reply, Dear. Good to know.
Doc can you please answer my question what’s the difference between aquaphor ( the one you show) and Eucerin Aquaphor? Are they from the same company? Thank you Doctor😊
Excerin is the brand that makes Aquaphor; it's the same thing :)
Can I slug after putting vit c serum?
thats routine its for morning or night?????
night
Hello Dr. Sugai ! Wondering if you can slug over your vitamin C?
If you have sensitive skin, I would not advise but it can be done with the thinnest layer of petrolatum if your skin is not sensitive 👍
@@danielsugaimd Thank you!!
One of your other videos says don't use petroleum jelly because it's from the bottom of an barrel of oil and is not good for skin... remember?
Kiehls is expensive, send me a jar.
If i want to slug during the day, what kind of sunscreen works best on top of occlusives?
Im not sure if thats krean beauty secret... many 1950s hollywood stars were covering themselves with vaseline :D
