The Truth About Slugging


Slugging blew up on TikTok a few years back. But dermatologists have quietly recommended this barrier method for years.

The reason people love it is simple. Your skin barrier needs protection in order to hold hydration. When that barrier breaks down, you see dryness, irritation, flaking, and inflammation.

A good routine hydrates the skin. An occlusive step helps your skin keep that hydration.

In this episode, I break down when slugging helps your skin and when it can create problems. The technique is simple, but the details matter if you want real results.
