She’s so positive it makes my day
Soo true😁😁😁
Agree, but at times it's oddly placed 🤷🏻
I find her extremely inauthentic. I caught a glimpse of the real her when she was out of studio with no makeup. Be yourself girl. Maybe you need to find out who that is first..
@@angelcomrad1338 It's true, people like this tend to be the most fake. It's weird lol and almost rehearsed, no normal person acts or talks like this. It's just her social media personality for her channel.
As for slugging I recommend the Cerave Healing Ointment because you get the benefits of occlusive petrolatum as well as skin barrier-repairing ceramides.
I use it too, it's great! I also mix a little bit of jojoba oil into the healing ointment :)
Where I'm from it costs almost 20 times as much as vaseline 😂😂😂
@@remy7663 true i think vaseline is enough for me.
I really want to try it but I'm a side sleeper 😕
@@danielletavano3389 same
I've been doing this for years and I had no clue that it was called "slugging" and I wish I could unlearn it lol. Btw I'm reading some of the comments and for people who are acne prone 100% petroleum jelly will NOT clog your pores. If you still get clogged pores after applying petroleum to your face it means you either didn't clean your face well enough or you didn't clean your hands well enough. The same can go for any lotion or face cream you have to dip your fingers into. You need to clean your hands VERY well and use a file or brush to get all the dirt out from under your nails before touching your face otherwise you contaminate the entire jar of moisturizer.
Slugging is another stupid Americanism 🙄
@@paulinecoburn181 ok?????
It might not be “comedogenic” but everyone’s skin is different. It most definitely clogs my pores. I have very small pores & even using creams w petroleum my skin gets clogged. And I hate it bc I love Vaseline.. I can use it all over but not my face.
Using cleansers made w it in there tho, my skin loves.
@@Jezebel066 like I said before it's probably because you don't properly clean and exfoliate your skin or maybe you don't clean your hand well enough before applying it. If you have small pores that means it's harder to clean and stuff gets buried deeper into your skin. That's why you can use cleaners with it but not creams. I'd recommend the korean 7 step facial care routine.
It never has a name but things are created of marketing purposes
I've been slugging for years. My grandmother would put Vaseline and aloe vera all over her face before bed. She had the prettiest skin!!!! Thank you for sharing!
As a person with acne-prone, sensitive, and oily skin, I’ve learn not to use it for my face but Vaseline is great for dry lips, I use Vaseline before I go to bed and I wake up with a moisturized lip, and overall Vaseline can be used for healing like cuts or damaged areas on your body
I have acne prone sensitive skin, when my skin barrier was damaged from over using retinol I used a non-comedogonic facial oil and aquaphor or Vaseline on top it worked great, my skin smoothed out within 2 weeks
Omgg love your profile pic I’m also a monbebeb🤭❤️❤️
FYI, Vaseline won’t break you out, it’s truly non comedogenic. Ask any dermatologist. Cheers!
I was VERY sensitive to Vaseline and aquaphor no matter what I put underneath as I used to have cystic acne all over my face and still get them sometimes. BAG BALM is the only one that truly works!!! It’s all natural and makes your skin SOOOO SOFT!
@@amytrumbull156 can I use cocoa butter Vaseline Ik she recommended the original Vaseline but I prefer cocoa butter Vaseline
Haven't finished even half of video yet just commenting to say that I love your aesthetic and colour grading, just perfect consistency and values just wow!
Thank you so much!!
SHE SHOULD POST MORE OFTEN🥺
Sorry for the delays! I had a bunch of technical issues with this video and had to learn a new editing software suite! 😔 thanks for waiting! 😘
@@CathyonSkincare can i use ordinary nichinamide serum with Vasline?
My husband uses Vaseline on his face daily. It's the only thing that has saved his skin. Without it, he's super red, and dry and flaky. Because he has such sensitive skin, he doesn't like using alot of products so this is the go to for him.
Any update
i love your positive energy!
im definitely gonna have to try this out, my skin is incredibly dry and i live in a really really hot and humid area
congrats on 24k!! you're sooo underrated
You are such a gem! I can already tell your channel is going to go far. You’re videos are so high quality and relaxing to watch, btw this video was so educational but also super fun! 💖💖
really?
I’ve been doing this forever! A lady once made fun of me and said that it was very bad for my skin hahah, yet my skin has been absolutely amazing for 8+ years because of it! 🤷🏻♀️😚
I have always Vaseline my whole eyes area before hearing about “slugging”. Side sleeper take note.....keep your eyes from accelerating wrinkles.
Yay! I am so glad I found your channel! You are so informative, pretty and your videos are so high quality! Hope the algorithm work out for you! ILY
hope u get the recognition u deservee 🥺💓💓
I just started slugging about a month ago and my skin has been amazing 😍
One of my favorite people to watch that I've found this year! Started with your Kinship review and was super into the info and positivity and aesthetic 🌈🌈🌈
Omg wow! Thanks so muchhhh 😭😭 🌈 🌈
She is so good. Glad I found her channel.
I’ve been doing this since I had eczema lolll and it has saved my skin. You definitely need to cleanse well before just so you aren’t trapping anything under there
so underrated!!!
I have used it for a long time, a pea size amt. rub between hands and apply to clean wet face . Feels wonderful. Doesn’t clog pores.
I haven't even been slugging for a week but it has greatly improved my skin texture plus my skin is so soft I love it
I love your energy! Gonn slug tonight!
You look like a sunshine 😊 so cute
Can you please do your everyday skin care routine!?
this is soo informative!
I'm so happy I found your channel
I have slightly oily acne prone skin and slugging with Vaseline doesn't break me out. The only reason I don't do it very often is because I hate the way it feels. But it does make my skin the next day so moisturized and dewy which I love!
Hahaha yup! Not the most “cosmetically elegant” formulation but it does make a difference! Happy to hear it doesn’t break you out!!!
Your voice is so soothing ❤
I use QV Skin lotion, it's lightweight and can be use for the body and face. The main ingredients are glycerin and petrolatum. I used it a lot to calm my irritated sensitive skin and it doesn't break me out.
Another great one!
Slugging is awesome for back sleepers. I use the cerave healing ointment and it seems to work for me!
may I ask if you use a normal pillow case or do you put a towel down? TIA
I have eczema in my chin and on the sides of my nose, Vaseline helps me when I have break outs and stops the itchiness. My husband has eczema in his hands and used to break out pretty bad, this is the only thing that has helped him cure the scratch marks and stop the break outs. I swear by Vaseline, it’s the best.
I just recently discovered you and so glad I did! Love watching your videos, they're so high quality and you present things so well! I've been super obsessed with skincare for years and you've def inspired me to start making some skincare videos :)
IKR! I cant believe the quality!
congrats on 24k!!! I cant believe how much your channel has grown!!
I used this for my puffy eye and wrinkles .
Very effective
Been doing this just on the high points of my cheeks and brows under my highlighter to make my skin look dewey where it counts but not greasy! Never knew there was an actual name for it... still don’t know if that counts though since I’m not sleeping with it or anything but I get compliments on my poppin’ highlight on the daily!
Suuuch a good tip! I’ve heard MUAs use it that way for editorial shoots! For me IRL, I find my hair sticks to it though and gets greasy but happy that it works for you!
Your the kind of skincare TH-camr I was searching for 😍😍😍
Love your videos
Hey cathy watching you from Bangladesh. loved your fungal acne & ccs video... thank you dear. 💕💕💕
I know I'm late but I just recently started slugging and I have acne prone skin and it did not break me out but I feel the environment you are in affects whether you get cc or not. I would say if someone sweats a lot then I would not recommend slugging.
Slugging especially with products like Hyaluronic acid made my skin so plump and hydrated the next day. But I don't slug everyday because I'm scared that my skin could get CC's 🤧 I apply my Moisturizer wait till it sinks in and then use a pea size amount and rub it in my palms and then apply it.
God ! the quality of your video amaze me !
I been using vaseline on face with aloe vera and its look good and my skin glowing.
Come on just get her to a million already
I love your videos ☺️
I use aquaphor on my nose in the winter! keeps it warm!!
I dont understand why u dont have atleast a million subscribers! Your videos are well researched and so professional. Anyway, I subbed!
I always put it before I go to sleep in the places of my face that are more prone to fine lines and i definitely see the positive effects
Combination skin here ! Have not experienced any bad experiences since doing this !!! ❤ Love it,tomorrow will be day 3 for me ! Lol
Same!! Tommorow is day 3 for me and I also have combo skin! How’s your skin doing?
omg cathy without bangs!
Definitely see the difference in the 2nd and 3rd day
Can you please do a video on eczema i would really appreciate that 🤍🤍 love your videos by the way I’m a new subscriber ✨
Excellent 😍 love it! What about summer time should we remove hyaluronic acid from our routine because it’s really hot ?
I think ignorantly tried slugging with a product made from petroleum jelly and mint. I tried it on the area i was breaking out and it has gotten far smoother. I think i will keep doing it
I definitely see the difference I am teing this for sure ❤
I am home a few days a week and do it for 1/2 days or a few hours before washing my face. Using an oat product for soothing works great for my sensitive skin.
i used to slug (cerave healing ointment) while i had active teen acne (still do) and my skin became super hydrated and plump, but my pores got clogged and i broke out all over my face :(( i’m definitely gonna do it again once my skin clears up
Petroleum clogs my pores. I’m not acne prone but my jawline is clog prone.. And I have tried it many many many times bc I like the way my skin feels. Just can’t deal w the bumps under my skin I get the next day.
I've been using vaseline on my face for the whole month of October last year in 2020 and it's helped my skin to looking good after you used moisturizer
Did you use if every day? Did you have active acne breakouts?
@@MrC77 I may have some breakouts sometimes but not as serious (probably from salty food or stress)
@@MrC77 And yes I use it everyday
@@blackskyboii Thanks, ive been scared to use it daily. Im using CeraVe healing ointment.
@@MrC77 My pleasure 😊
I have mine on a stick in the freezer and I put it only under my eyes ,around the nose.. basically the dryer areas.
Wow. You're even more beautiful without the make-up :))
I use Vaseline only under my eyes after my night routine (cleanser, toner, serums, moisturizer and eye cream.)
That gives you a much more hydrated and plump eye area without the greasy pillowcase in the morning.
Great information, I am in Canada and it is very dry here.
i tried this, its already 3 nights, i can see how some of my acne shrunk overnight, and my skin is SOOOO moisturize
I just started using oil from vitamin E capsules on my face before bed and thinking about putting aquaphor over. I have normal to dry skin. Does this sound like a safe nightcare routine? also love the video!
Its very very noticeable, your left side glows and looks great!
Im sure a lot of Africans have been doing this forever. It's popular in Zambia. I use it when my skin has heat rash or some other kind of reaction cause then my skin wont sting unlike with other lotions
Definitely see a difference! New subscriber here! Btw I love your hair off your face!
Hello from Australia , love your vlogs, you make them informative and fun 🤗
Wish I knew more about skin care 30 years ago 🤷♀️
Not sure how good microfibre is for the face?
Maybe just a cheap satin pillow case?
I'm in OZ Lee Anne and a side sleeper. I heard silk pillow slip stops your face scrunching up and prevents wrinkles I'm going to use one when not slugging. Hope this helps.
I ran out of Vaseline & used coconut oil 2 nights in a row. Now I've got a face full of little red bump & I'm not prone to acne or breakouts. ugh!
Can you plz do more videos about closed comedones?? Btw, new subscriber and LOVE your vids! :)
Could you do a vid about hydrocollid plasters? :)
Good educative video.I have been doing this and my face is the best.Now i have a question, is carolight cream safe to use?
Definitely swear by it!!!
I put the moisturizer on first then the Aquaphor
I use Vaseline on everything too lol including my creaky door hinge 😂 did you use moisturiser in the morning after washing the Vaseline off?
I grow up with my mom and grandma using Vaseline on for our face and we’ve always and still do look younger than our age
I like Vanicream ointmen(oil free) waaay better than vaseline.
It also depends on skin type
So so people can’t use it ....
Go with the flow and see what works for you .
I'm might try this and if I break out or not will know after tomorrow lol
Thank you 🙏
i have questions:
i'm currently suffering from acne all over my face, would slugging somehow worsen it?
can i use a moisturizer with a humectant in it instead of a serum?
how would applying a humectant before the "slugging" pull moisture if the vaseline acts like a barrier that doesn't let anything in or out? does it pull moisture from the environment before you apply the vaseline and therefore the vaseline locks that moisture in?
One humid day (40°C) I washed my face at least 10 times (ik stupid) it stripped my skin layers so much that my skin started itching and got red so I used ✨VASELINE ✨ and it helped with itching instantly also calmed my red skin :)
haha im wearing this as my moisturisor rnn
You are so cute...can you make a videos about hair products please 🥺
something about you reminds me of rachel chu plus dakota johnson!
I sleep on my side and I feel like this will just rub right off my face onto the pillow then into my hair.
Me too. Wondering how to use this
I love try wich moisture is good for anti ageing?
I just watched the BHA video of yours and now I am binge watching hahaha!
Can I use vaseline after applying the Paulas Choice BHA? Or do I need to use other moisturizer?
Omg u just questioned my concern, following!!
I tried it but I really couldn't stand the feeling of the vaseline and my skin ended up feeling irritated and uncomfortable from the thickness despite the thin layer I placed :(
Yasssss🎉🎉
It breaks me out like abyss hell erupted on my face. Just a word of caution, acne prone people don't do it. Btw this happened b4 I watched it video. Lol
It'd non comedogenic and non pore blocking
Im acne prone and it cured my acne. I had severe cystic acne, now its pretty mild.
@@aleem_4391 I believed it so I did it and I suffered. Everyone is different, do what u please.
@@MrC77 congrats
Not acne prone but I do get clogged pores from certain products & this is one of them. I also read it is non comedogenic. But everyone’s skin is different. Some swear that coconut oil won’t clog your pores if you use it as a first cleanser. But if it touches my face I get bumps.
you look so much like jungwoo from nct ,i loved your content 😭♥
Hahaha I get that a lot!!! 🤔
is it okay if i put vaseline under my sunscreen during the day ?
People that know me here in phil always ask me if i just visit a dermatologist or do i have my own 👍👍 dermatologist but my only secret for my skin care is only this
I have eczema on some parts on my face specifically my cheeks and eyelids so i will try this and update if anyone comments later😙
I do it since I can remember
shoukd you apply some in the morning as well? Is it okay to use Vaseline in the morning and then do your makeup on top of it?
Can you apply an occlusive over a retinol?
What is the difference between Vaseline and Petroleum Jelly? Can I use Petroleum Jelly in place of Vaseline?
I do this with shea butter.
Slugging side is more plump, noticed from first day.
Is it safe for neck/décolleté thinking of the petroleum by product ?
It’s not really bad for the environment considering that it’s a *byproduct* of oil refinement. And that’s not going to stop anytime soon, sadly. Basically they’re not drilling extra oil to make this.
Exactly lol...and that is what makes the product safe
so if you have acne vaseline its not for you right ?
