All About Sleeping Packs + Slugging

[@lorainemcgillivray77]

Hi Kelly I agree "slugging" is a new term for an old skincare trick. Despite having tried a few K beauty sleeping packs (including the purito dermide and the cosrx rice version), they weren't occlusive enough for my severely dry skin out with the warmer months. I actually used up both as daytime moisturisers under a sunscreen - my skin is super dry/dehydrated. Instead I went back to using a body cream on my face/neck/chest overnight including the LRP Lipikar and the Altruist dry skin cream. Both of these have petrolatum in the ingredients, but they're a rich cream rather than an ointment. This remember is for my severely dry, mature, rosacea and ECZEMA prone skin, but probably will not suit others without such dryness to combat. Even with these types of cream I can wake up dry/dehydrated - so it's not too heavy for me. I also feed my skin with oil (currently cacay oil) both morning and night, especially in the Winter. Mature skin loses oestrogen and with it also goes a lot of the sebum production in our skin - my skin literally no longer produces any oil of it's own. I've always been dry (face and body), but the dryness increased massively during menopause. Rich emollient creams are necessary for my skin to be comfortable, but body creams are usually richer in texture than face creams. This makes them a viable choice as a sleeping pack/night cream for extremely dry skin. I choose fragrance free creams with beneficial ingredients, but the size also makes them really affordable to use in this way. Best wishes.

agreed - the rice cream is super light like a lotion, NOT an occlusive layer. Eucerin just came out with this weirdly named but great product called essential oil balm. It spreads like warm butter instead of chunky like the cerave ointment, and it's lightweight but has all the occlusives (plus glycerin and urea!): Glycerin, Decyl Oleate, Octyldodecanol, Ricinus Communis (Castor) Seed Oil, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, C18-38 Alkyl Hydroxystearoyl Stearate, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Cetearyl Alcohol, Coco-Glycerides, Cetyl Palmitate, Polyglyceryl-3 Diisostearate, Beeswax, Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Urea, Glycine, Sodium Pca, Arginine Hcl, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Tocopherol, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Water, Magnesium Stearate, Magnesium Sulfate, Decylene Glycol

Im normal-oily but i use sleeping pack/ double moisturize every single night now idk i just love feeling hugged by moisture since i sleep in AC

[@ornellansoki]

I also use quite a lot of AC (I live in central Africa so forever humid summer) and I’ve noticed that no matter how much I apply my moisturizer I wake up a little dry. I’m looking into adding an occlusive into my routine

[@kate.m8499]

@@ornellansoki I'm from South East Asia and sleep in AC as well. I used to have similar problem to you. To combat them, I used heavy moisturiser (pyunkang yul ato cream) and mixed in few drops of oil (rosehip or squalene oil). On top of that, used the Soon Jung cica sleeping pack. So far this combo work for me. The Soon Jung sleeping pack is very thick, but my dry skin loves it!

[@ornellansoki]

@@kate.m8499 thanks a lot

[@ginalaperuginanyc7641]

I’ve been “slugging” forever. Learned it from my late Mum and Grandmother. But I have very dry skin. They had dry skin as well. I use it on my neck, too. I use the Cerave because it has ceramides. But I use Petroleum Jelly as well.

[@JLeigh75309]

Ditto, here -- but had no idea it was called "slugging"! I use Aquaphor and REN Evercalm™ Overnight Recovery Balm. I thought "slugging" was standing in queue to rideshare. Live and learn!

[@mariahammill]

My mother used Crisco, lol. It worked. She's in her 70's and looks 20 years younger. I refuse to put Crisco on my face though, and I don't Vaseline - I hate the texture. I do use sleeping masks and I love them.

[@alice3548]

My grandmother used to do this... she had gorg skin. She lived till her mid 90’s.

[@oddlyuncommon3535]

I love the Purito Dermide sleeping pack! I use it prior to applying my Tretinoin; it helps to strengthen the skin barrier, alleviate irritation, and minimizes the Tretinoin peelies. I still use a light layer of vaseline around my eyes (especially the corners) and corners of my mouth- these are not areas you want Tretinoin.

[@kaitlinallison9665]

You are so knowledgeable, how do You not have a couple million subscribers!! Like... wow!! New fave skin KZbin by far!! I bought the cosrx propolis toner based on your recommendation. I can’t wait for it to arrive!!

[@anya_rahman]

And if you are extremely dry dehydrated skin you can also mix few drops of safflower oil( that is known to have the highest amount of linoleic acid ) with your moisturizer and viola you are sorted❤️😅

[@user-bs2fw8mw6q]

I started using the aveeno deemexa emollient cream as a sleeping pack - it has everything you want: oats, ceramides, petrolatum, glycerin. I love it so far

[@blahblahblah8427]

My FAV sleeping pack/mask of all time (so far) is one that is not mentioned very often which I'm genuinely surprised by! It's the TonyMoly Sleeping panda pack & i do also really like the Cosrx rice mask. I recently purchased the La Roche Possay Cica Balme & I've been using it as a last step in my nighttime skincare routine as I find it to be super helpful with using adapalene gel

[@nataliabarcenas4351]

Thank you so much! This has been very interesting, I've been wanting to try the cosrx rice over night spa mask for the longest time!!

[@KellyDriscoll]

It works really well! 👍

[@katxfish]

I stick to plain old petroleum jelly. Contains only 1 ingredient so no fear of getting irritation from other ingredients. Easily accessible, can go to a target, cvs, or Walmart. Great bang for your buck that I don't need to be mindful about the amount I use and the frequency I slug. Plus the sticky texture forces me sleep on my back. Lol

[@imthenextUSpresident]

Same! Vaseline is the best! No reason to waste money on products that don't do the job as well!

[@smushles19]

I do 'slugging' on my neck only to prevent my tretinoin transferrring and irritating it!

[@KellyDriscoll]

This is brilliant!👍

[@LolaLola-uz5hf]

Hello, Kelly. Thank you veeeery much for you channel! I use cerave face lotion, after it cicaplast balm. I also want to add squalane oil. Where is it better to add oil to the cerave face lotion or to the cicaplast balm? Or if I add oil to the lotion, then it’s better not to add cicaplast on top?

[@naomihonda7479]

I love that Purito Sleeping Pack sooo much!!! Also thank you so much for always making all these great videos!

[@daniellefaith47]

I appreciate how thorough this video was. Can't wait for the next one! Have a great day everyone

[@elenabarbieri1286]

Thanks for trying out all those textures for us! I was thinking of getting a sleeping pack to use in place of a moisturizer a few nights a week, and since I can't stand heavy/sticky things sitting on my face for hours I think I've found some good picks here!

[@salonikapur2423]

Hi Kelly, please do videos on the best wash off masks and the best clay masks! Love your content!

[@oceanbird.]

The LRP cicaplast cream was really nice and soothing not irritating or sensitizing, but it definitely caused congestion and small white heads in my t zone and chin. I was kind of surprised, but confirmed it was definitely that product. They came up the next day after using it and would get more as I used it more. I had to give it away

[@bbsail]

I want to try a sleeping pack or a wash off pack... I don't like the feeling of vaseline on my face and can only imagine on my pillow

[@sarahr9323]

If you put a very thin film of Vaseline - it's actually light and doesn't make a mess!

[@artchick07]

I really enjoy Etude House's Soon Jung sleeping pack. It's very lovely. I don't wake up with a sticky face even in the summer

[@imthenextUSpresident]

Vaseline is amazing. It's the only "sleeping pack" that really made a difference for my skin. I need the best occlusive for my sleeping pack. Vasline is the only one out there that does it.

[@shanky552]

I have to say you are my favourite youtuber right now when it comes to skincare! So informative ❤ Lots of love from India 🇮🇳

[@malikadaprix3404]

The Iunik Propolis sleeping pack is my favorite right now this winter. Plus you inspired me to start on my Curology journey and adding a sleeping pack was really helpful. Next on my wishlist is the purito. I am really trying to wait until I finish a product before I buy another.

[@arianabelegu6608]

Loved this video ❤️ Do you know anything about the new Cosrx “intense” cica cream. In a more green tube. Do you know if it has the same benefits as the one you mentioned but just more moisturizing? (I have dry acne prone skin and don’t know which one to go for 😬) ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@amandameisner9982]

Thank you so much for this! Well researched, comprehensive, and informative! I've learned so much from you :)

[@trishulachettri9130]

I have been thinking of trying out a sleeping pack, thanks for this video. Also I wanted to ask Mugwort vs Centella which do you prefer for calming irritated skin

[@rebeccahubbard3817]

Kelly I just looked up the Cosrx Propolis Honey pack and it actually does have honey and royal jelly in it!! They must have reformulated?

[@ela178]

Can Isntree mask can be applied after a night cream? Because its gel form?

[@ornellansoki]

I hope you’re doing great Kelly, great video !!!

[@KellyDriscoll]

Thank you! I'm well, hoping you are too! 💖

[@miiaproductions]

Great video, really informative as always 😊 Been curious about the purito sleeping pack. I'm currently using the iunik propolis sleeping mask 🐝 It has really helped my dehydrated winter skin 🙏🏻

[@Ajlatango]

I used that la roche posay cream when I had some irritation on my eyelids and everything else stung the area but this soothed it and made the irritation disappear after 2 nights

[@rosemary5005]

Oh.. I see I'm a little bit late to the party 🙂 Yeah... But I just want to add that 14:12 the CosRx Ultimate Nourishing Rice Overnight Spa Mask is my favorite (together with the Laneige Cica Sleeping Mask) I have normal to sensitive/reactive skin but I haven't had any troubles with sleeping masks at all!! Sleeping with a zink based product can also help calming the skin. Take care ❤❤❤

[@skincarecataloger]

I’ve been using the Balancing Gel by Pyunkang Yul as my sleeping pack and it works well, but the honey-like consistency is tricky. Thinking of trying the Iunik for a more elegant application process.

[@jadelightsword]

I really love the iope derma repair cica cream! It's got a very balmy texture and is very occlusive, and I have used it as a sleeping pack before! I really don't get the light gel sleeping packs. Does it really prevent tewl? Hasn't for me.....i am now using the cosrx honey one as an in shower wash off mask. Even the purito one you recommend is too light in texture for me, so I actually now use it as a winter emulsion. 🤷🤷

[@plunkybug]

I’ve never used a sleeping pack before but, I have added a few drops of facial oil to my moisturizer at night. I got a facial oil blend made up locally last year of 10%, tamanu oil, 20% cranberry seed oil, 30% jojoba oil, and 40% camellia seed oil. I recently ran out of it and had the formula tweaked some to be a little bit lighter so it’s now 5% tamanu oil, 25% cranberry seed oil, 30% rosehip oil, and 40% camellia seed oil. I’m still experimenting with it. Not sure what I think about it yet. I read recently that rosehip oil might lead to more sebaceous filaments which I already struggle with so we’ll have to see what happens. I’m slightly nervous about that choice now. While I have grown to love the smell of the tamanu oil, I’m partly thinking about dropping it from the blend and focusing more on the cranberry seed oil and camellia seed oil, with maybe argan in a smaller amount or perhaps a different oil altogether (they don’t have squalane or I’d ask for it). My 10ml bottle did last me a while so I think I will have a while before the new one is used up, unless I really don’t like it...in which case I can probably use up quickly in the bath, in my hair as a treatment, or on my body and reformulate a new blend.

[@kathpau1948]

Such a good informative video! Right now I really struggle with my skin and wanted to ask you if you would recommend the La Roche posay cicaplast baume b5 for irritated acne prone skin ?

[@Babypoohbear1990]

I have slightly oily mild acne skin and slug when my skin feels a little dry from actives. I use Vaseline and have never had a problem with break outs or clogged pores only thing is I hate how greasy it feels also I have to make sure I tie my hair up or it sticks all over my face and neck lol.

[@fallguy6196]

Purito sleeping pack is definitely not light weight it's very heavy like toothpaste just like the Lrp Cicaplast not quite as heavy as that but it's not light weight at all and it's not hydrating at all. It's very occluisve though I've been wearing it every night and I don't like it at all so far it makes my face so heavy and hot and stiff. Reminds me of how CeraVe cream used to make me feel Am I doing something wrong ? Is it supposed to make your face hot and smothered ?

[@juli_shares1556]

What a coincidence, my husband thought Vaseline was same as Aquaphor. 😆 thank you for the info. Great, I have many of the products you mentioned 💕 I love sleeping packs and Aquaphor.

[@yakuhane8636]

I have dry acne prone skin so I’m not gonna try slugging. I just layer on toner for extra hydration. Really love overnight masks. I always use the Cosrx honey mask when I’m breaking out and the rice one I use to just treat my skin

[@ZhaliaNovantaquattro]

I'm trying to empty my skincare products, so my night routine now is missha night repair serum, innisfree green tea eye cream (for all the face😂) and Nivea cream as occlusive 😂 I don't have any reaction though

[@MichaelBrown-yo7mu]

Love this thank you..... I have a challenge for you..... I'm looking for a korean serum/ampoule that has a good amount of cerimides in that can be used twice a day.

[@lauraxoh]

Another great video 👏🏻👏🏻 thank you so much Kelly 😻 but I have a question! I’m not sure if you mentioned this but if I want to use both of my sleeping mask and moisturizer. If my moisturizer is heavier should I used before or after my sleeping mask?😊

[@KellyDriscoll]

Sleeping packs will always be the last layer, so on top of moisturizer!

[@Tarot.Destiny]

Hey Kelly, we’re going to have to hold a 40k party soon!! Thank you for going over sleeping packs. I guess I’ve been doing this for a Long time and didn’t know it. I usually only do this in winter, but after my serums/treatments I’ll seal it all in with a thicker moisturizer + whatever facial oil I have on hand. I do have the Good Molecules Rosehip oil right now. I also have the brand Acrive Argon, argon oil drops. This oil is formulated to go into your skin 6x deeper than normal argon oil. For moisturizers I really liked the Isntree HA Moisturizer. To top it off I mist my face with whatever facial mist I have on hand. I let that soak in a bit and apply my sunscreen. You’ve helped me so much with KBeauty. Thank you so much and if you want to throw an extra video at us, we wouldn’t be mad. 😘😘 we’ll need all the help we can get today.

The new Cosrx Full Fit Propolis Honey Overnight Mask isn't the same as the old Ultimate Moisturizing Honey Overnight Mask. YesStyle and Stylevana appear to have just changed the name/pictures instead of creating a new product page. I assume its so the rating & reviews don't disappear. If you check the Cosrx website it has the new correct ingredient list.

How would you compare sleeping packs vs facial oils for using on top of a moisturiser? I used to use sleeping packs in place of a moisturiser but my skin was always dry, I guess I was using them wrong....

[@KellyDriscoll]

I've tried sleeping packs in place of my moisturizer and it never worked for my skin type so definitely on top works better! (always feel free to experiment, there is no wrong way just the ways that do or don't work for you). It depends on the products you're using but sleeping packs on top of moisturizer is usually more protective compared to oils. (oils add moisture but not always occlusivity)

[@fallguy6196]

I've been using the purito sleeping pack. Does anyone else feel like it makes your face hot and kind of stiff and heavy ? Is that normal ?

[@so.many.obstacles]

I don’t have that issue.

[@LC.1990]

Do you have rosacea?

[@jeneeesaisquoi]

Hey Kelly, how can you differentiate the "feel" of both hydration and moisturization? What exactly are you feeling for hydration alone and then moisturization?

[@KellyDriscoll]

The easiest way to understand it is hydration = water and moisture = oil. Hope that helps!

[@jeneeesaisquoi]

@@KellyDriscoll thanks kelly. I understand that, but I find it difficult to "feel" hydration when it is masked by moisture. It's easy to feel it when it's a toner or essence alone, but I don't know how to differentiate the two when both of them are in the same product.

[@KellyDriscoll]

I think it just comes with time and experience, tuning into the product and how your skin feels. Also understanding that different skin will react/respond differently, I have dehydrated skin so I can tune in more to what products help feed my skin with with water. Tuning instincts come with time.

[@austinq3151]

that isntree hyaluronic mask is interesting given that it's called a hyaluronic mask but the largest hydrating ingredient is beta glucan plus it has trehalose! there are multiple forms of hyaluronic acid, but there's obviously way more variables than hyaluronic acid that add to how hydrating this sleeping mask is... it could easily be called a beta glucan mask but it wouldn't be as widely recognized, so I understand marketing it as a hyaluronic acid mask. It has a lot of good stuff in it! I normally wouldn't gravitate towards things marketed as hyaluronic acid-centric products but this has way more to offer! This is definitely on my radar 🧐
