Treat your lips to a little extra love thanks to this TikTok-approved beauty trend.
To anyone who has ever dealt with the dry wrath of winter, having well-moisturized lips at this time of year feels as imperative as sunscreen on a blistering summer’s day. But do you ever feel like no lip balm can quite keep dryness at bay? Thankfully, TikTok’s lip slugging resurgence has come to our rescue.
If you’re an avid #beautytok follower, then you probably recognize the term “slugging” from the viral facial slugging trend — that is, lathering your visage with layers of petroleum jelly as an overnight face mask. Targeting the dryness, splitting, and cracking that can plague our pouts during the cold winter months, lip slugging applies the same concept to our mouths.
Here, we break down everything to know about lip slugging and the products you’ll need to get started.
What is lip slugging?
Similar to its facial slugging counterpart, lip slugging is an overnight moisturizing and conditioning treatment that remedies dry, cracked lips in a few foolproof steps. Think of your skincare routine — you’ve got your daily holy grail products and standard practices, but the uninvited arrival of a budding blemish or its scarred remainder may demand a little extra attention here and there. So, you take a dedicated evening (or full day!) to luxuriate and address your skincare dilemmas as needed with topical treatments and masks for that extra dose of self-care. Lip slugging is the additional step you’ll take in your lip care routine when winter has dried your pout out.
