Wow! A glass-looking skin! Yes, I see these gorgeous girls at the shopping malls.

I could not contain my curiosity, so I questioned the lovely Graciela about how she maintained her perfect shiny complexion!

“I slug,” she says.

“You, what? No, there is no way you put slugs on your face!” I exclaim.

Graciela laughs heartily, then she explains:

“It is my affordable skincare technique. I apply vaseline for a glowing and smooth complexion. All my friends do it.

It helps to hydrate dry skin. I learned it from Priscilla. She visits a dermatologist for dry skin. Now all our girlfriends sport the glistening beauty of slugging!

Slugging is simple. I apply a thin layer of vaseline as the last step of my nighttime routine to seal in moisture, plus the other products I use in my nighttime routine.

The slick texture resembles a slug. Hence the name “slugging.” It’s fantastic for preserving water retention, leaving my skin plump and smooth when I wake up.”
