This Secret Hack To Dewy Skin Costs Less Than $4

Have to love a skincare hack that doesn’t break the bank.

The skincare hack called ‘slugging’ has been making its rounds on social media, that’s supposed to hydrate your skin and let’s be honest, gives us the dewy skin we all dream of.

What’s this super affordable product you may ask? It’s Vaseline - yes the petroleum jelly that has been around since before we were born.

Like most recent skincare trends we have the Korean beauty regimens to thank. Slugging’ is basically applying vaseline as the last step of your skincare routine. The vaseline is meant to seal in the moisture and prevents trans-epidermal water loss and make your skin look like you’ve been drinking 50L of water every day. The best part, it only costs $3.30!

This trend works best for dry and irritated skin, and you have to make sure your skin is squeaky clean before you apply vaseline all over your face (get your double-cleansing on!). Dermatologists from all over the world have said that vaseline is safe to use on your skin, so that’s reassuring. However, even though vaseline is non-comedogenic If you do have oily or acne-prone skin you might want to steer clear of using Vaseline on your face.

Here is a tutorial of how you can try the slugging skincare routine, happy moisturising!
