TikTok is certainly a forced to be reckoned with — people from all over the world started sharing beauty, fashion, entertainment tips and even with some setting fashion trends of their own. Of course, some of these skin tips are very welcome, but there are some unsupported by science that can detrimental to your skin. However, there is an opposite effect in the skincare effects of slugging — basically, smearing petroleum oil on your skin as the last step of your routine — and it prevents the skin from releasing excess oils and bacteria — which is exactly how pimples and other bacteria can develop on skin. Matter of fact, some dermatologists have spoken out against this method, stating that it can set off bad outbreaks.
Petrolatum is comedogenic, which can cause acne, and has no other health benefits other than keeping wounds moist so they can heal, says Chicago dermatologist Carolyn Jacob.
While there won’t be major harm in giving slugging a go, be cautious as it may lead to unwanted outbreaks. Instead, try these ones out instead. Good luck and god speed.
