In fact, it\u2019s actually our saviour right now.\r\n\r\nThe colder months bring drier air (less humidity and central heating are the culprits) which makes our skin lose moisture much faster. The sudden change in temperature damages our skin\u2019s barrier, too, leaving us more susceptible to aggravators like pollution. Basically, if your skin is dry, irritated and sensitive, you\u2019re not alone.","video_content":"","block_picture":9081},{"block_title":"LESSON #1: SLUGGING","block_content":"Surprise surprise, this is a K-beauty favourite (aka an instant cult classic). 'Slugging' involves applying an occlusive all over your face, at the very end of your nighttime skincare routine.\r\n\r\nOcclusives are products that prevent moisture from being evaporated from the skin. They don\u2019t actually add any moisture on their own, they simply keep the moisture from your skincare products in the right place \u2013 in your skin. Products like lip balm often already contain an occlusive because our lips lose moisture so quickly.","video_content":"","block_picture":9080},{"block_title":"How do I do slugging?","block_content":"It\u2019s so simple. Once you\u2019ve applied all your usual evening products, add a thin layer of the occlusive all over your face. It will feel pretty waxy and greasy (hence the name, slugging) but trust us, that\u2019s how it works its magic. You don\u2019t have to do it every night, just think of it as an extra step you can add in when your skin feels like it needs it.","video_content":"","block_picture":9082},{"block_title":"WHAT SHOULD I USE FOR SLUGGING?","block_content":"Another great thing about slugging, it\u2019s budget-friendly. Reddit\u2019s r\/SkincareAddiction community rave about Aquaphor, which you can buy from the high street. Or, if you\u2019re looking for one that\u2019s free of animal products, Vaseline does the trick too. And, they\u2019re both non-comedogenic so they won\u2019t clog your pores or cause any breakouts.","video_content":"","block_picture":9083}]},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>What is \u2018slugging\u2019?
