@skinbliss: Does slugging cause breakouts or help your skin? Both are true, it depends on your skin type. Who actually benefits? Dry, dehydrated or barrier-damaged skin. The occlusive layer seals in moisture overnight and can cut water loss by up to 99 percent, so tight, flaky skin finally gets to repair. Who should be careful? Oily, combination and rosacea-prone skin. The same seal traps sebum, bacteria and heat, so it can back up your oil and trigger congestion or flushing. A telltale sign it is wrong for you: new bumps show up exactly where you applied the most product. Will your skin adjust if you push through? Usually not. Congestion from an occlusive tends to stick around or get worse, unlike the purge phase some actives cause. What is the safe way to slug? Full routine first with moisturizer underneath, wait 5 to 10 minutes, then press a pea-size amount into dry zones only and skip an oily T-zone. Keep it to 2 to 3 nights a week and cleanse well the next morning. Oily but curious? Swap petroleum jelly for squalane, it mimics a lipid your sebum already makes and is unlikely to clog, and patch test one cheek for 3 nights. Before you slug, check your occlusive's ingredient breakdown in Skin Bliss for clogging-risk flags.
