The infamous new trend: Slugging... yes it may look dewy and soothing on social media, but it can actually create more problems than benefits for many skin types. The thick occlusive layer traps heat, oil, and bacteria against the skin, which can lead to clogged pores, milia, and increased breakouts, especially if you’re even slightly acne-prone.
It can also prevent your active ingredients from working properly because they can’t pe*****te through the heavy barrier.
While the trend is marketed as “hydrating,” there are far safer and more effective ways to strengthen your skin barrier without suffocating it.
