Slugging is a game changer. Here's why • 39 years old

[@mstea3232]

My mom was 93 when she died and had zero wrinkles around her eyes. She was a pin up model in the 1940s. She learned to put Vaseline on at night from the makeup artists. When I was 13 I started using it because it wiped up leftover mascara that didn't come off the night before. I'm 55 now. I have no wrinkles except 2 tiny 11s that are getting botoxed soon. I started slugging I guess then over 40nyears ago. Highly recommend, considering I'm complimented more on my skin than anything else. I started using eye cream at 22, because a saleslady said I'd thank her later in 87. I highly recommend this cheap, drugstore Vaseline because it works. My mom even used it in her last months along with Wet and Wild lipstick, because as she said "You never know who's coming around!" 😊

[@braidslikebrandy]

Your mom sounds fabulous. May her soul rest.

[@glw5166]

11s aren't under your eyes so you probably look great just like your mother. I'm sure she was a lovely woman.

I use Egyptian Magic balm, has Royal jelly, propolis & beeswax instead of petroleum. I also used grass-fed beef tallow which is INCREDIBLY RICHLY MOISTURIZING for super-dry skin like mine.

[@anitaspencer1734]

What a great idea! In my life, I never would have even thought of using beef tallow. I have a few reasons for not wanting to use petroleum jelly, but God bless those who do. I just looked into it, and this is only the very minimum/beginning of what I found: "Vitamins in tallow can help produce collagen. Vitamin E is known for its anti-aging properties. It helps stimulate blood flow to our skin, which increases collagen production, and helps prevent signs of aging. By increasing collagen production, you can keep your skin looking smooth and firm for longer". The multitude of vitamins in it, are what I've been looking for in a natural product. And it doesn't clog pores!☺️ I'm going to look into it more deeply, as well as the Egyptian Magic Balm, (I've never heard of it), as I have several troubling skin issues. Anyways, a BIG THANK YOU!☺️🌻 God bless💛

Marilyn Monroe used it as well. She had fine tiny baby hairs over her entire face and with her very fair skin (she liked to look "blonde all over")!

Marilyn was not a ginger, her natural hair color was brown not red. Also I have read in numerous biographies about her and numerous makeup artists also said she used Vaseline and the effect on the baby hairs on her face did indeed make a glow on photos.

Upon awakening in the morning, I typically apply Vaseline to my face, allowing it to remain on my skin for approximately 30 minutes. Afterwards, I proceed to shower and use warm water to rinse it off. As a result, my skin becomes noticeably softer and more refined. When I subsequently apply foundation, it effortlessly glides on, enabling my makeup to maintain its beauty throughout the entire day.

I have sensitive, oily and acne-prone skin and vaseline on top of my skin care works wonders for me. I suppose everyone can be different but in my case I found out that if I try to mattify my skin or don't use moisturizers I'll get even more oily and can break out. finding the right products took a very long time but once I did, my skin healed so much! and now that I'm 40, I can feel how much I benefit from sealing in the serums and moisturizers as long as possilble. so I too love this method!

[@ChelSierra_Remly]

I've been using Castor Oil on my eyes at night, (not on my eyeballs, but on my eyelids and all around my eyes), as it is used in the Tears eyedrops, (that slick, greasy feel), so I know it is safe. And when I was digging up information on the benefits of castor oil, I learned that castor oil doesn't clog pores when used on the face, so it might work for those who suffer from acne.

[@rickimcfarland2269]

I use castor oil as well. Or sometimes I'll use a combo of olive oil, rosemary oil, avocado oil and castor oil. As long as I use natural oil I'm good.

You can actually put it in your eyes. It is supposed to help cure insomnia.

[@ChelSierra_Remly]

@@Violet-qf8dr - Good to know. When I commented on a video for dry eyes, I kind of got scolded, so I assumed full strength castor oil wasn't supposed to be put in the eyes. That it needed to be mixed with other substances like in eye drops. I'm in the process of looking more into the benefits of castor oil for eyes, hair, and skin. I'm finding some very interesting information. Found a video that says it will get rid of stretch marks a couple of years old or less. And it will help with belly fat when rubbed on the stomach area. Back to digging.

[@ChelSierra_Remly]

@@rickimcfarland2269 - I just saw a suggestion to mix half and half castor oil and coconut oil to help with the castor oil's stickiness. So, I think I'm going to start using both together on my eyes from now on.

I also just learned that putting castor oil on the eyelids does help with dry eye, and the dryness of the eyelids can lead to dry eye. So glad I learned about castor oil and coconut oil. I used them both, plus Vaseline to get rid of the dermatitis on my eyelids, and to see there are so many benefits of using it is amazing.

Petroleum jelly is hydrophobic it does not provide moisture, but it traps moisture and does not allow moisture from outside to penetrate the skin barrier. Pros: Traps moisture Cons: May clog pores but regular cleansing can help reduce this.

I sold Mary Kay for a while, and the lady who taught me said never ever rub your eyes outward, always inward toward your nose.. it was making me cringe watching you do it.. 🤣… but, looking at your skin, don’t look like it’s hurt you one bit, your skin is lovely. Fun fact, I’ve used Vaseline on my face since I was a teenager too..

[@marges4005]

I must have learned that at a Mary Kay party-rubbing inward. I’ve done that for as long as I remember.

[@67kurtcobainfan27]

Young or older ppl shouldn't just rely on their age you know what matters the most and what more important but in my opinion not the idea nor terms of aging at all at a certain age. It's what and how you feel about yourself inside as well as on the outside. That counts the most. Feel as beautiful as the way you just simply are.

I never knew this was called slugging until recently but my 85 yr old gramma always used vaseline on her skin. She doesnt look a day over 60.

[@lunachilde2000]

Any skin expert that pulls on her face the way you do is no expert. Thats skincare 101 hun

[@natashat8315]

I heard using Vaseline on top of retinol is not advised as it can irritate the skin?

[@smr4219]

I think of you lack collagen or fat pads on your face, doesnt matter how flawless your skin is, it will make you look older. So your skins flawlessness shows itself because you dont lack collagen on your face.

[@carobcakes]

Your skin is immaculate and amazing. I suffer with breakouts I have combo skin I’m 41. Do you have any tips for combo skin. I sleep with a silk pillow but I will change more often. I love the fact you are honest too about preventive Botox.

[@peachycream]

Is the beauty industry not turning against petroleum jelly on your skin? Mixed messages on it recently. 😬 This girl has amazing skin.

[@kittycat8222]

Basically they do not want people to be able to get results from a $6 jar of Vaseline. Also the only thing that can happen is milia around the eyes.

[@diahreea2022]

Many beauty products have petrolatum, why would the "beauty industry" be against it?

@@diahreea2022 it's a hydrocarbon material. Made from oil. Discovered on oil rigs. I've seen videos saying not to put it on your skin. It's always good to question and research things.

I have the driest, most annoying skin ever, and I've been taking better care of it over the last 10 years or so (I'm 40), and took good care of it off and on thru out my teens and 20's. I never smoked, didn't drink, I burn easily so kept the sun exposure to a minimum. Most people think I'm between 25 and 30, so I already have pretty youthful looking skin. My eye and undereye areas tho are looking ROUGH. If I start slugging now, is it going to help or is it more of a preventive thing that I needed to be doing all along?

[@trinathompson3816]

I’m 54 and when my brothers and I were little in the single digits mom always put Vaseline on our face and an extra layer in the winter before we out. She always put it on growing up and now it’s called slugging 😅

Any product with petroleum in it gives me the shivers. I don’t care how pretty it makes me look. It just doesn’t seem to be a healthy approach. The skin is our largest organ and the chemicals are absorbed into our bloodstream. This sounds like a cancer risk.

[@holyexperience1976]

I may try this after my current lotions run out, or at least night one. Provided I don't have to have Vaseline on in the daytime as I turn to charcoal super easily, and I once nearly had a malignant mole, but praise Jesus I had it removed in time.

I heard about the vaseline slugging on another video, but she was very mature maybe in her 70s or 80 I can’t tell she said she’s been doing it for years before it was lagging, and that went viral on TikTok and talk about Vaseline you mentioned that your daughter got this happened to my friends grandson did the exact same thing when he was younger I don’t know what is Vaseline or Vicks just like to put it all over their hair and I can imagine how difficult that was

just a quick question- how do you get the vaseline off your skin in the morning? it's so greasy. Also, this is what Marilyn Monroe used to make her skin glow under studio lights.

[@sandral5086]

It gets absorbed (and wiped off )by the morning , it definitely takes a while to absorb

[@bukal56]

I don't understand should we apply it after applying retinol or before applying retinol

[@thirstwithoutborders995]

I have acne, and I do something similar (in the cold/dry air months esp., which are a problem here in central Europe) with Weleda Skin food. It visibly makes my skin more moisturized than just my evening routine and doesn't cause breakouts. If it does, I stop, most likely the temperature outside has changed. I also put a thin layer on during the day if its freezing outside.

[@Julia-kg5vu]

Which product do you use from Weleda

[@thirstwithoutborders995]

@@Julia-kg5vu Weleda Skin Food (the dark green one) in Winter and Skin Food Light (the light green one) in Summer as night cream on top of retinol and any essences, sometimes I am too tired and just put on Skin Food, and it's great. I have acne prone skin that used to be oily, but also dry patches. If I get some acne I take a break or just put on Phytoretinol and essences, as I said, I often get random break outs when the weather suddenly gets hot.

[@2000dns]

But how do you wash it off properly?? Sometimes after I wash it off in the morning, my skin gets red or too oily during the day.
