“Slugging” with Vaseline

Slugging involves applying a thick layer of Vaseline to the face before going to bed, creating a barrier that traps in moisture and prevents water loss. The result is smoother, softer, and more supple skin that looks and feels healthier. It’s worth noting that slugging with Vaseline may not be suitable for everyone, especially those with acne-prone or oily skin. The thick, occlusive nature of Vaseline can potentially clog pores and lead to breakouts.

To slug your face with Vaseline, start by cleansing and toning your skin as usual. Then, apply a thin layer of your favorite moisturizer to your face and wait for it to absorb. Next, take a pea-sized amount of Vaseline and warm it up between your fingers before applying it to your face. Gently massage the Vaseline into your skin, making sure to cover all areas, and allow it to absorb before going to bed. When you wake up, rinse off the Vaseline with lukewarm water and pat dry.

Protect Your Hair from Damaging Chlorine in Pools

Swimming in pools can be damaging to your hair, particularly if you swim frequently. The chlorine in pool water can strip your hair of its natural oils, leaving it dry, brittle, and prone to breakage. To keep your hair healthy and prevent damage, there are a few things you can do. First, always wet your hair with fresh water before entering the pool. This will help to minimize the amount of chlorine that your hair absorbs. You can also use a leave-in conditioner or hair oil to provide an extra layer of protection. These products will help to seal in moisture and protect your hair from the damaging effects of chlorine.

Another way to keep your hair healthy in swimming pools is to wear a swim cap. A swim cap will protect your hair from the chlorine in the water and help to prevent tangling and breakage. Look for a cap that fits snugly but comfortably, and that is made from a soft, flexible material that won’t pull on your hair. After swimming, rinse your hair thoroughly with fresh water to remove any chlorine residue.
