'Fabulous Lives Vs Bollywood Wives' has captured audiences with its peek into the glamorous lives of Bollywood's most stylish women. Featuring Seema Sajdeh, Neelam Kothari, Maheep Kapoor, Bhavna Pandey, Riddhima Kapoor Sahni, Shalini Passi, and Kalyani Saha, the show offers a vibrant portrayal of their extravagant lifestyles and sparkling personalities.

Seema, along with her best friend and social media influencer Orhan Awatramani, popularly known as Orry, talked about the benefits of slugging during season 3 of the reality show.

“It’s obvious as you get older your skin loses moisture. So whatever your nighttime routine, just lock it with a generous amount of Vaseline or petroleum jelly and go to sleep. In the morning, you will see your skin has taken in the moisture, leaving it glistening.” She also mentioned, "Neelam has always been worried about acne. I told her it won't aggravate it, and she tried it as well.”

What Is Slugging?

Slugging is a skincare trend where a thick occlusive, like petroleum jelly or Vaseline, is applied as the final step in your nighttime skincare routine. 

The purpose of slugging is to create a barrier that locks in moisture and prevents water loss from the skin overnight. It’s particularly beneficial for people with dry or dehydrated skin, though it can be used by most skin types if done correctly.  

While slugging can help maintain skin hydration and improve the effectiveness of other skincare products, it may not be suitable for acne-prone or oily skin as it can potentially clog pores if the skin isn't properly cleansed beforehand.

Ideal Step-By-Step Skincare Routine To Slug Your Face

Step 1: Cleanser 

Cleanse your face with a gentle cleanser in order to remove makeup, dirt, or oils. 

Step 2: Toner

Tone your face to balance your skin's pH. This step is optional.

Step 3: Apply Serum 

Apply serums or any treatment that you usually do for brightening, anti ageing, or hydration. 

Step 4: Moisturise

Use a lightweight moisturiser to lock in the benefits of the serums.

Step 5: Slugging   

Finish with a thick layer of petroleum jelly to create an occlusive barrier that locks in moisture overnight.
