Slugging, a current beauty trend, is a new name for the old-school practice of topping off your nightly skincare routine with a thick layer of a rich creme or occlusive balm and leaving it on all night long to plump the skin and send nutrients in.
The TikTok trend is to slug with a slather of synthetic cold creams and petroleum-based Vaseline.
By slugging skin with the pure, occlusive botanicals in our Ozonated Beauty Balms or Seabuckthorn Best Skin Ever Balm you can advance this art, right from the start with replenishing, biome-breathable balms that are symbiotic to sebum, seal and heal the lip barrier, while brightening the complexion and giving hyperpigmentation patches attention.
Our beauty balms create a breathable layer on the skin that holds the healing and barrier-sealing oils and essences in and close to the skin while locking in moisture for quenched skin in the morning.

SLUGGING KNOW HOW
Slugging is simple, and the frequency depends on the needs of your skin. Start by slugging 2-3 times per week, and consider slugging only the areas of the face that need extra TLC.
1. Cleanse your skin with your favorite Best Skin Ever. Put a squirt or two on a corner of a damp, organic cotton face cloth and gently massage the face and neck. For deeper exfoliating, wash more vigorously. No need to rinse!
2. Apply to damp skin a Libations serum according to the particular needs of your skin.
3. Slide some slug balm over the Libations serums, and enjoy sweet sleep. For deeper serum penetration and less evaporation, pair slugging with our Hydrating Silicone Mask.
