If you’ve been exploring the latest trends in skincare, chances are you’ve come across the term “slugging.” This skincare technique, inspired by K-beauty practices, has gained immense popularity for its promise to deliver intensely hydrated and radiant skin. But what exactly is slugging, and how can you incorporate it into your routine using MISEICO’s Lucent Brightening Multi-Active Balm? Let’s dive in.
What Is Skin Slugging?
Slugging is the process of applying a generous layer of an occlusive product—one that forms a barrier on the skin—as the final step in your nighttime skincare routine. This barrier traps moisture and prevents transepidermal water loss (TEWL) while you sleep, ensuring your skin stays hydrated and absorbs the benefits of the products you’ve applied underneath.
Contrary to its name, slugging doesn’t involve actual slugs! Instead, the term refers to the shiny, glazed look your skin gets after applying an occlusive layer.
Does Skin Slugging Really Work?
The science behind slugging is simple yet effective. By creating a barrier, you’re locking in hydration and amplifying the absorption of active ingredients in your serums and moisturisers. This is particularly beneficial for those with dry, dehydrated, or sensitive skin.
However, not all products are created equal when it comes to slugging. Using non-comedogenic (non-pore-clogging) products is essential to prevent breakouts and irritation. That’s where MISEICO’s Lucent Brightening Multi-Active Balm comes in.
Slugging, Elevated with Lucent Brightening Multi-Active Balm
MISEICO’s Lucent Brightening Multi-Active Balm is the perfect product for elevated slugging. This award-winning, plant-based balm goes beyond just sealing in hydration. It’s formulated to brighten, nourish, and smooth your skin, leaving you with a radiant, dewy glow.
Key Benefits:

Seals in Moisture: Its rich, non-comedogenic formula creates the ultimate hydration barrier without clogging pores.
-

How to Incorporate Slugging into Your Routine
Follow these simple steps to unlock the full benefits of skin slugging:
-
Cleanse: Start with a gentle cleanser to remove dirt, oil, and makeup. Or use Lucent Brightening Multi-Active Balm which double as a cleanser too.
-
Hydrate: Apply your favourite serums or lightweight moisturiser to nourish your skin. We suggest our Eternity Stem Cell Multi-Active Essence and Miracle Pour Collagen Multi-Active Serum.
-
Slug: Finish by applying a generous layer of Lucent Brightening Multi-Active Balm (about the size of a 5-cent coin) to your face. Spread it evenly and let it work its magic overnight.
Wake up to plump, glowing skin that feels deeply hydrated and refreshed.
Is Slugging Right for You?
Slugging is ideal for dry or dehydrated skin types, especially during colder months or for those who sleep in air-conditioned rooms, where moisture loss is more common. Lucent Brightening Multi-Active Balm is suitable for all skin types. If you have oily or acne-prone skin, apply a thinner layer or adjust the amount as needed to avoid overloading your skin. Always patch-test before fully incorporating slugging into your routine.
