Slugging skin care has been a dry season skin care trend in Korea in recent years.
What is Slugging skin care method?
Slugging skin care method is known as the secret to caring for dry skin of Korean women in the winter, when regular creams don’t seem to be `enough`.
Slugging is a strange name, completely different from the beautiful names often found in Korean beauty methods such as glass skin, jello skin… Derived from `Slug`, which in English means snail.
Applying a thick layer of moisturizer to minimize water loss is the main feature of the Slugging skin care method.
In short, Slugging is a winter skin care trend for dry skin.

Winter skin care tips from dermatologists
Perhaps you have read in many articles that advise that mineral oil is an ingredient that should be limited.
Contrary to many people’s misunderstanding, mineral oil is an extremely safe and benign ingredient.
What should you keep in mind when applying the Slugging method to Vietnamese skin?
In addition to concerns about safety, the Slugging method also raises concerns about its effectiveness in a hot and humid tropical country like Vietnam.
For that reason, ELLE does not encourage you to use this method on your face because most Vietnamese people have oily skin with highly active sebaceous glands.
Healthy, warm hand skin is the wish of many people in the dry winter.

Apply Slugging to nourish dry hands in winter
Dermatologists say that whether or not the skin of your hands and feet can withstand the harshness of cold weather depends on the health of the skin barrier.
Slugging for hands and feet includes only 2 simple steps: cleaning and moisturizing, avoiding dehydration.
Applying the Slugging method to strengthen the skin barrier will prevent dry, cracked skin on hands and feet.
CLEANSE dry skin IN winter
We need to clean gently with moisturizing hand wash products rather than using soap bars that are highly detergents and increase the dryness of our skin.
Do not wash your hands with alkaline soap or strong detergents to avoid drying your skin.
Some cleaning products ELLE introduces:
