Vaseline and Aquaphor both work really well as "sluggers" to treat Rosacea, Eczema and Seborrheic dermatitis!

[@prakritiaryal6767]

Yes for dry spot it is so good but form my tzone it is hell, I get congested pores.

[@Jasmine215100]

I only slug in the dry areas too, like my cheeks and the lower two thirds of my face!@@prakritiaryal6767

[@marieve5394]

I love Aquaphor for slugging my Eczema. I love Vaseline for slugging my face ❤

[@maddie8415]

I honestly think that slugging is one of those things that mostly benefits people with specific issues like eczema, or mature skin that is very dry. It's something I can imagine my mom doing (she's in her 70s). I might try this sometime in the future, but at the moment any highly occlusive products tend to break me out. I do like the idea because of how affordable and simple it is.

[@fathercrellick]

i love slugging! especially with aquaphor, my skin always turns out really smooth in the morning

[@evangeline77x]

I started slugging, just my body 2 or 3 nights a week for the last year, and I have been trying to convince everyone in my family to start doing it lol. I coat everything from my neck down and put on a long sleeve cotton top, leggings and fluffy socks and go to bed. It all dries/absorbs, never leaves a greasy residue on my skin and doesn't leave grease spots on my clothes/bed. And my skin has literally never been so plump and moisturized in my entire life! It literally changed my life lol.

[@dancewithme7435]

For real it’s really good

[@JA99]

What do you use on your body?

[@20thcenturyrelic]

Slugging is about the only way I can keep my dry skin decently moisturized at night. I hate waking up with a dry, tight face! However, this may not be a good idea if you have oily skin. If Vaseline or Aquaphor are too heavy, try Vanicream. That's what I use in warm weather.

[@ht8038]

What do you use?

[@bluesummers5051]

YOU DIDNT SAY WHAT YOU USE

[@KRKimbler]

Slugging under my eyes has been a life saver! Never feels greasy nor breaks me out when it's localized like that. Been doing it since before i knew it was called slugging.

[@ellnine66]

So I'm acne prone and do the Vaseline thing. I just make sure my face is CLEAN ( oil cleanse then reg cleanse) before I put it on. After moisturizer I wash my hands before I grab for the Vaseline. Between moisturizer and Vaseline absolutely nothing and no one is allowed to touch my face. I have had zero issues with it makeing me break out in any way.

[@eternalearth88]

Oh my God! I was literally looking for a slugging video by Cassandra all day yesterday and I was getting worried with winter coming that I wasn’t gonna know what to do about it without her knowledge and insight! Thank you Cassie we love you so much!! I’ve been watching you since we were both in high school dealing with acne and make up and just trying to figure out how to hide it and survive and stuff. Watching Cassie grow and learning with her was life-changing for me too and my skin! You have helped us all grow Cassie!! Now I’m so deep into skin care and my skin has transformed! I love you so much Cassie and I hope that you feel my love and all the love from your beautiful butterflies! Thank you for being not just our mama butterfly, but a garden of knowledge and friendship for all your butterflies! 💖💖💖💖💖💖🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🧿🧿🧿🧿🧿🧿🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@onedudethelegend]

I wouldn’t homogenize acne prone people as being against slugging. I’m dry-acne prone and slugging helps my skin stay clear.

[@tasfiearahmanrifa5315]

Hi cassandra🦋 I'm from Bangladesh 🇧🇩 I've been watching your videos for almost 2+ years.. i really want you to know that you've been a big life changer for me. I used to have super acne prone skin and i was at my worst when i found you.. i used to do home remedies for my skin but it stopped working for me... Then i found you and got educated about skin science and skin care. Many of your suggested products are not available in my country and the available ones are super expensive. But i learned about the ingredients, actives, acids from you.. so i started to TURN AND LEARN the available products.. and it did magic to my skin... I am still learning from you a lot..I really Wanna Thank you for this❤ and i really wish to meet you someday 💗

[@marieve5394]

I love slugging ❤ it's make my face feel so good next morning ❤

[@mcarty3950]

Thanks for finding a cruelty free version of Vaseline ❤

[@cyndimckenzie8897]

Hello Cassandra, I've watched your shows this morning, not knowing you were going live Absolutely love your commentaries and reactions! Your reaction to the walnut hair scrub was hilarious!

[@lindseystein9676]

I don’t really like using aquaphor or Vaseline on my face. They’re great products, I just don’t like the feeling of it on my face. A thick moisturizer works better for me for “slugging.” I’ve used the skinfix triple lipid cream, Haru haru’s moisturizer, & farmacy’s niacinimide sleep mask. Those are so good if you have dry/dehydrated skin, especially in winter. Plus, the skinfix & farmacy have mini versions and they last me all winter

[@patsyroyal]

That Dear, Klairs is the best! I cannot handle the texture of petrolatum and this, on the other hand, feels so soothing and does absorb well.

[@metalguru5226]

Great info. Thanks so much for promoting cruelty-free alternatives.

[@Jasmine215100]

Love your New Year's Eve outfit! Silver is the perfect New Year's color!

[@marleythewizard]

The Klairs cream is my favorite winter cream❤

[@sacredpaw]

Love Ceramedx, I have been using it on my face and hands for a few years.

[@tiffanymac1162]

Been slugging for years. Didn’t even know what it was. Aquaphor is my best friend.

[@deej1015]

I didn't know what slugging was either. My mom and Grandma taught me and do it to this day from head to toe

[@mariiooh2047]

A skincare channel that shows us vegan and cruelty free alternatives! Thank you!! 🫶

[@DCSquirrel]

It just hits me sometimes that I’ve been watching you since you were so young.

[@bitcrabby]

I love slugging with Aquaphor over my night serum, unless I use a heavier moisturiser it just stops my serum making my skin feel tight and keeps the moisture in!

[@Ebizzill]

I didnt know I had dry skin until I could afford skin care, growing up we used vaseline cuz we were poor. On the occasion we could afford anything, we used shea butter, and the occasional clearance from Walmart's Black Friday sales.... but vaseline was next to toothpaste. im returning back to my roots, and my skin's feeling so much better.

[@hippybecca]

I like using shea butter. As someone who is acne prone with dry/dehydrated skin in winter this is helpful. My acne flairs in the winter, think because of my impaired skin barrie. The weather is harsh where I live in winter.

[@matthewirwin1112]

The Sandra Lee MD product does contain Sandalwood which is a fragrance!

[@scienceislove2014]

You're so pretty CASS!!!

[@reecepeace5839]

I looked up the ingredients for the dear klairs soothing cream and it has grapefruit extract, lemon peel oil, orange peel oil, and eucalyptus among other potentially irritating ingredients. Just a heads up.

[@tuulisild771]

I think there is essential oil free version as well.

[@pamelasault9483]

Glad you “turned and learned”. Lol!

[@robertpetrosyan5269]

Can Ceramedx be used on face? If so, why does it cause so much redness?

[@bashag5477]

Cass! the haruharu wonder multi balm can be perfect for thisQ the texture is OCCLUSIVE af!

[@tecneon]

Thank you for focusing on cruelty free brands ❤

[@londonsheraton1]

I use Nivea as my last step in my evening routine. I have dry/combo skin and I swear to god it has diminished my lines. Yes, it’s heavily fragranced, but fragragrance doesn’t seem to bother my skin. ❤

[@Jasmine215100]

2020 was three years ago!

[@neurospicyrainbow]

I bet this was an old video she finally put up

[@limbo576]

Yeah, she has mentioned in the past that she has a bunch of videos stuck in archives. It's like a time capsule 😄

[@Mrs_xixi]

I don’t understand the cruelty free notion in regard to this. Petrolatum jelly etc have been around for ages and at one point in history it has been tested on animals. Now there is no need to test on animals, because someone already tested this product way before…

[@rhileynnna]

I wish your lives were actual live chats, hope to see you do something like that in the future. ❤️

[@Pattymelt415]

Would love upper lip wrinkle help!!! Thanks❤

[@Beauty_Geek32]

I have severely dry skin and my skin conditions are papulopustular rosacea and seborrheic dermatitis and Vaseline and aquaphor for some reason broke me out like crazy. The only ones that work for me are the Cerave ointment or the Aveeno baby eczema therapy balm they work so good and don’t feel greasy at all. Im definitely going to try a few of these and see if they work as well.

[@strudel4527]

Slugging does miracles for my peeling skin due to tretinoin. I use Aquaphor every other day, when I don't use tretinoin. Creams, although they may be rich, are not enough.

[@deej1015]

Creams aren't enough for me either. I don't feel moisturized when I use them alone. The only cream I'll use alone is Nivea in the large, blue glass jar

[@jeanjenniea]

If I just look at Vaseline, I break out, where my mama just puts huge amounts on, and it's "the very best thing ever!" I was waiting for this video from U! ❤❤

[@joshu456]

To everyone who was thinking about buying the deer Claire's moisturizer know that stylevana is out of the country so make sure you purchase it with a credit card with no foreign fees

[@nova_beam]

I’ve been doing this off and on for a really long time and didn’t even know it had a name. Unfortunately I’m very prone to milia and slugging seems to make it worse. I love doing it, but now I have a huge patch of milia across the bottom of my face.

[@ogshin1570]

heyy i love your videos! could you perhaps make a video speaking about how to treat rashes in your body, not necessarily the face!!

[@dancewithme7435]

Sitting here with a pine full of Vaseline on face it is really fun to watch

[@rhileynnna]

2020 winter was 3 years ago sis

[@thiftingmybestlife]

Need the slugging video plz 👍❤

[@gregjulian1044]

Awesome sauce!!!

[@brandyclarence]

Cassandra, you are THE QUEEN! FINALLY a slugging video! I love slugging but yea, don't love sleeping with what feels like petroil on my face. Going to give Klairs a try. Lately I've been using Brush on Block's Nobody's Perfect Face oil - which I think is another good alternative for slugging. I've only been doing it for a month, not breakouts yet! But would love to know your expert opinion on face oils as the last step of a routine? thoughts?

[@ManicShorty]

I figured slugging wasn't really good for my acne prone skin so I'm grateful for this video. I'm still not sure I'd actually try it. I've done a lot of work to improve my skin thanks to you and all the other great skintubers so I'm scared to break out 😅

[@Maryann720]

I love versed! Works awesome! Thanks for the great information 👍🏼 🦋🦋🦋🌹

[@siniturakainen]

Cassandra what do you think about the products of Revox or have you tried them? They have vegan and cruelty free products that are very much like the Ordinary's products but they are more inexpensive

[@JesPulido]

Can you do a video on lanolin/Aquaphor? And how to “slug” over sunscreen?

[@Kiterpuss]

No offense but why would you need to slug over sunscreen? Slugging is really an overnight thing - that's why the slug slime look is okay, nobody sees you lol. If you mean using a more occlusive moisturizer over a sunscreen because you deal with dry skin during the day, you'll have much better luck focusing on a better daytime moisturizer that meets your needs while under your sunscreen.

[@JesPulido]

​@@Kiterpuss Lol. Well, I work from home and during the winter, after Tretinoin and the Ordinary's acid peel and with the heat running, my face feels EXTREMELY dry. Sometimes I feel like Vaseline/lanolin/Aquaphor are the only things that will make my skin happy.

[@JesPulido]

I know Kassandra might not use lanonlin/Aquaphor, but I still use it because as far as I know, the sheep aren't hurt when they get haircuts, and the lanolin just comes from their wool.

[@JesPulido]

I should try the CeraMedx stuff she recommends.

[@MimiKandsomerandomnumbers]

You probably don't want to slug over sunscreen as it has to be an even undisturbed film/layer in order to protect you. Maybe you should get a thicker sunscreen and/or moisturizer for during the day, but definitely dont put vaseline or moisturizer over sunscreen because they can break it down or make it uneven therefore minimizing your protection

[@VRwarrior]

Love you so much❤

[@JesPulido]

Love the videos, btw. 🦋

[@chapterbichapter821]

I have dry/sensitive skin and when I tried slugging or thick moisturizers (vanicream moisturizing cream for example) I land up developing milia on some areas on my face.

[@SandiTink]

This question is a bit off subject and esoteric in nature, but does anyone know when and where the pronunciation of the third syllable as “lah” instead of “lay” came from and when it was popularized? I’m in my 60’s and grew up with it being pronounced as “lay.” (It’s like the current pronunciation of processes with a long “o” and the last “e” being long. I’d like to know where that came from, too.)

[@metalguru5226]

What about castor oil for slugging? Does anyone use it?

[@deej1015]

I mostly use castor oil for my hair but yes, I have used it for my face and didn't have issues

[@sharekpain9303]

Hey Dear Cassandraaa was just wondering what would your opinion be of Cerave Secret Healing Ointment for acne prone oily skin. I deal with alot of clogged pores and I use this to slug at the end of my skincare

[@somacarr7528]

I looked for the SLMD body seal and I couldn’t find it. They had a lot of different ones but couldn’t find the body seal. Help! I had a major itchy break out after doing a Glycolic acid, then next day used my Tretinoin. I have never broken out like this before. It burned and itched like crazy then got really dry and flakey afterward. I covered my face in. Aquafore and a thick moisturizer and it started to heal. I never had that reaction before! I do have THC in my moisturizer and wondered if that was another culprit to my breakout. I am 69 and usually only have Roseacia breakouts. This wasn’t like those at all, it was way worse!

[@Forstinger19]

I personally use smiths rosebud salve for a cruelty free slugging routine. Wash my pillowcases daily though as I look like a glazed donut

[@snudder.s.m.l.5026]

No matter what, you are beautiful 🌹🥰 Big hugs from Denmark 💝🌹🥰

[@spinebreaker7986]

I tried slugging with a cold The Republic Aloe Vera Soothing Gel before and I woke up with very soft and plump face 💜 It has helped my skin so far im already 28 and people are surprised to know they always thought I was still in High School 😂

[@AlaraSeeborg-th8fl]

Hi! I’ve heard that the La Roche Posay cicaplast balm is popular for slugging but it’s not cruelty free. Would the Hero rescue balm be a good alternative? Thanks!

[@ninadaggett]

You mentioned you use the reversed eye balm on your marionette lines. Did you find much difference in using that in that area?

[@Min-Taro]

Cassandra...2020 was 3 years ago...

[@tracyflood7485]

Almost 4, even 😊

[@valeriesantos8178]

Almost is only good in horseshoes

[@Mahimamahima-vr8oj]

2020 was 3 years sgo Cassandra -

[@hanywhiskey]

haha this popped up as i applied my first ever slug layer haha

[@Danisuzette]

If you feel like a slimy chicken cutlet when slugging you're doing it WRONG! Who ever told ya'll that you have to slather it on is full of 💩. A THIN layer is all you need. Use some common sense. Sorry this has been making cringe for a long time.

[@gailbennett7105]

I also only use a thin layer. That's all you need

[@MexicanTeTe]

Watching this with my face covered in Vaseline. 😂 You should never slug on top of retinoids it will cause worse irritation, redness, or peeling!!! Doing that amplifies the strength of your retinoid in a bad way. It's best to only slug on days you don't use retin, to help your skin recover from the drying and exfoliating side effects of the medication.

[@jandymic770]

Did u hear about CodexLab cosmetic created by scientist Barbara Paldus? So amazing, her son have allergy on the most preservatives in cosmetic, so she created her own an got it patented(btw she got 40 U.S. patents)

[@scienceislove2014]

Solimo brand is much cheaper as well

[@Anna-zy4ys]

shea butter not good for large pored

[@bashag5477]

Why slug? Nobody hasher explained this that I've heard.

[@alicepot8844]

PLEASE TRY THE BIODANCE OVERNIGHT SHEET MASK

[@radhakrishnadasu5975]

That guy in the middle of video is he her husband or bf 🧐😊

[@savannahryan91]

Yeah no he’s not. James Welsh is a KZbinr in the UK and he is gay and Cassandra is a lesbian so they are definitely not dating or married lol. Should do some checking before posting

Lol production takes some time, especially for higher-quality channels -- sometimes videos are in production for months. So at the time she actually recorded this video, it was probably 2022. ;)

[@onedegreehigher]

Jesus. girl just relax

[@tainoaquarian]

No PETROCHEMICALS fo me!! I use & Luv: Cruelty Free/ Vegan ‘Slug Balm’- from Future Wise, & the divinely softening ‘Anti-Ageing Oil’, Retinal Oil- from Mad About Skin, &/ or ‘Overnight Facial Oil’- from Botanics~ for a gorgeous effect *on Both face AND hands)!

[@bellenesatan]

No CHEMICALS fo me!! that's why I'm dying and becoming a creature of pure light to escape the artificial, chemical horrors of my molecules (I'm 60% dihydrogen monoxide). 😒😐

[@deej1015]

I like the Slug Balm from Futurewise. I like their hydrating spray as well

[@mirdavenport]

Dermalogica Barrier Repair is another great alternative for slugging as well! Love it with the new Dermalogica Stabilizing Repair Cream 🤌✨
