The Weekly Covet: Winter Beauty Must-Haves – TownandCountrymag.com

Once a week, we ask our editors to share the items they've been loving or lusting afterwhether it's a new skincare product we're dying to try or a travel essential we can't live without. Consider "The Weekly Covet" your editor-approved wish list for beauty, travel, fashion, and everything in between.

1Restorative Floral Bath

"If you're looking for me in the winter, I'm usually in the tub. This is my newest soak obsessiona silky, skin-softening elixir that smells like an island-escape dream of plumeria and jasmine." April Long, Beauty Director

2Daily Dose Hydra-Ceramide Boost + SPF 40 Oil

"I recently added Supergoop's latest potion to my routine and there's no going back. In addition to that signature Supergoop SPF protection, the silky serum is also packed with ceramides, squalane, and hyaluronic acid to moisturize and protect my skin's lipid barrier against dry, flake-inducing winter air." Lauren Hubbard, Contributor

3Aquaphor Healing Ointment

"There was that craze a few years ago of everyone claiming to slather Aquaphor all over their faces for smooth, moisturized skin. I won't go that faryetbut there really is nothing better for chapped lips, minor eczema flare-ups, flaky elbows, cracked heels, and superdry, overwashed hands than my $14 jar of healing ointment." Leena Kim, Associate Editor

4Nourishing Face Oil

"I love a good face oil. I really do, and this one from woman-owned clean beauty company Avoila is my new go-to. It blends 11 different oilsincluding avocado, rosehip, and vitamin Efor one nutrient-packed superhero moisturizer that my finicky skin drinks up. It's pretty hard for skincare products to win my affection, but I think my skin looks healthier, smoother, and more glowing on mornings after I've used this. I especially like how quickly it sinks in, so I'm not left with a blinding sheen or an oil-slick forehead. And it smells like a trip to the spa, which is the cherry on top." Meg Donohue, Contributor

5Advanced Therapy Fragrance-Free Moisturizing Cream

"Sometimes you just need a no frills product to get the job done, which is what Lubriderm's Advanced Therapy Moisturizing Cream does. I have persistent dry skin that no amount of special shower products or drinking more water has seemed to cure. This cream is my holy grail moisturizer that I use from head to toe [but not face] to combat dry, itchy not just all winter but all year. It is non-greasy and a lot goes a long way in helping replenish what the dry winter air steals, plus fragrance-free means it is great for sensitive skin!" Cassandra Hogan, Fashion Assistant

6Ohana Gingergrass Bamboo Scrub

"I love Red Flower's luxurious-feeling (and heavenly smelling!) scrubs. They buff away winter skin and winter blues alike." April Long, Beauty Director

7No. 9 Spring

"In the winter months I get as pale as a ghost. I love this balm from Olio E Osso that adds life and colour back into my face. Its also a 3-in-1 product which I love for the convenience of being on the go. Apply to lips, cheek, and even over the eye lids to give that extra spring glow." Ashleigh Macdonald-Bennett, Deputy Managing Editor

8Immune System Herbal Superblend

"My winter beauty essentials right now? Immunity boosters! I'm currently trying the Breathing Room's Immune System Herbal Superblend with reishi mushrooms and ginseng. Perfect for cold NYC January." - Stellene Volandes, Editor-in-chief

9Doctor Rogers RESTORE Healing Balm

"Got a winter woe you cannot solve? Raggedy cuticles, chapped lips, split ends, elephant elbows? This is your answer." April Long, Beauty Director

10Face Serum

"In less than a decade, Francisco Costa's Costa Brazil has become an OG in beauty's anti-aging oil gold rush. There's a reason for that and it's not just the attractive packaging. The formula is light, enriching, and requires just a few drops, in addition to your regular SPF, to hydrate the face during these cold winter months." Erik Maza, Style Features Director

11Humidifier Starter Set

"The number one most important item in my home from November through March? A humidifier. It makes more difference in the condition of my skin than any moisturizerhonest. And it keeps my plants happy, too. Canopy's quiet, mist-free, easy-to-fill humidifier is by far the best I've tried." April Long, Beauty Director

12My Favorite Night Balm No. 306

"Cold weather, dry apartments, and other wintertime nuisances are no match for this must-have lip balm from C.O. Bigelow. Apply before bed and wake up to a world where chapped lipsand searching through your coat to find a tub of something to soothe themare a distant memory." Adam Rathe, Arts Editor

13A-Gloei Retinol Oil

"When it comes to skincare, I'm something of a Drunk Elephant devotee, and this winter I'm adding retinol into my routine by way of the brand's new A-Gloei Oil. The product formula is only 0.5% retinol, making it a nice introduction to the treatment, plus it contains 95% virgin marula oil, which soothes and hydrates dry skin in these colder months." Caroline Hallemann, Digital Director

14

"I have gone full millennial with an Agency skincare subscription. You take a quiz and submit photos of your complexion, then a licensed dermatology provider creates your own personalized Future Formula and adjusts it each month. The best part is I can ask as many questions as I want about any skincare product and their experts walk me through how everything is working (or not) together. Its like having a dermatologist on demand." Olivia Hosken, Style & Interiors Writer

15Skin Food Original Ultra-Rich Cream

"Weledas Skin Food is one of my favorite products in the medicine cabinet. It has so many uses (hands, feet, body, face) and I especially love it in winter when my skin tends to get dryer due to the harsh cold outside and dry heaters inside. I swear its a miracle product as it leaves my skin feeling super hydrated and smooths any rough or itchy patches. Its super thick, unlike other runny, watery lotions, but it blends in so well that you dont even notice its on. Except for the luminous glow that it gives your skin, of course." MaryKate Boylan, Senior Fashion Editor

16Face Duo

"I am all about products that pack multiple punches. Costa Brazil's Face Duo gives my winter skin everything it could need: evens skin tone, brightens, calms irritated skin, improves firmness, and most importantly hydrates! Packed with lipids, omegas 3, 6, 9, antioxidants and vitamins A, C, and E this oil is a no brainer when it comes to curing the mid-winter skincare blues." Dania Ortiz, Fashion & Accessories Director

17The Body Lotion

"The best lotion I have ever tried. It is so moisturizing, but not greasy or sticky at all. I love that it is fragrance free, so it doesn't compete with my perfume." Breana Crews, Freelance Fashion Assistant

18Cool Gloss

"When the going gets tough, the tough put on lip glossor at least that is what I've been telling myself lately. My routine in the new year has been decidedly low key, but when I'm looking for a little sheen and polish, a slick of Jones Road's clear gloss perks me right up."Roxanne Adamiyatt, Senior Digital Editor

19Moisture-Lock Ultra Hydrator

"Prior to the launch of Pause Well-Aging Moisture-Lock Ultra Hydrator, I was completely unaware of polyglutamic acid and it's super hydration capabilities. I've put this tube of goodness to the test in the frigid and dry temps recently, and in spite of the fact that I'm using retinol, I don't have a lick of patchy dryness. It's a miracle and the essential final step to one's winter skincare routine."Roxanne Adamiyatt, Senior Digital Editor

20Aura Collection

"It would be an understatement to say that lately I've been feeling lethargic. Especially because it's far too cold to spend much time inside. In order to feel like I'm getting my circulation going, I've started using Wildling's Aura Collection, which includes a dry brush and body gua sha to help stimulate my lymphatic system and also work through any tension I'm carrying in my body. People wax on about the aesthetic benefits of this practice, but honestly, it's worth taking up for how wonderful it makes you feel. I'm hooked and will be year round."Senior Digital Editor, Roxanne Adamiyatt

The One Spice That May Actually Help Reduce Skin Inflammation, According To Doctors – SheFinds

For better or for worse, what you eat really does impact your skin. If youre experiencing inflamed skin this winter, weve reached out to health experts, doctors and dietitians and learned more about an all-natural spice that is not only an antioxidant, but also has the power to reduce skin inflammation. Read on for more information on its many skin and health benefits, and expert-approved meal ideas containing this special ingredient.

Turmeric is a spice that derives from the root of the curcuma longa plant, and a perennial in the ginger family. It iscultivated in many states in India and other East Asian nations. As dermatologist Dr. Purvisha Patel, M.D. explains, it is a beloved and historically used tool in skincare and healthy eating.

Turmeric hasbeen used for centuries in Eastern medicine to combat cancers, auto-immune diseases and skin conditions such as psoriasis, vitiligo and acne, says Patel. It has been shown in scientific studies time and time again to help skin conditions, both when ingested and used topically.

Patel notes that turmerics bright yellow color can be attributed to Curcumin, its active ingredient. Curcumin is anti-inflammatory, anti-micribial, anti-neoplastic and has antioxidant properties, as it combats free radical damage, says Patel.

Registered dietitian and nutritionist Susan Kelly reiterates that turmeric contains the component Curcumin that gives it a distinct colorand taste. It is used in various modern-day medicines, she says, because of its strong anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, anti-fungal, anti-bacterial properties.

"Aging and other skin inflammatory diseases are caused by oxidative damage," says Kelly. "In this process, free radicals react with organic substances, which can cause skin damage."

Curcumin, Kelly says, not only fights these radicals but also "stimulates the antioxidant mechanism in our body," which makes it the "best choice" to fight against skin inflammation and other skin concerns.

Dr. Cheryl Rosen, Director of Dermatology at BowTied Life says that turmeric is one of the most widely studied natural remedies, with research showing it can help treat skin inflammation caused by eczema, psoriasis and acne.

She also agrees that curcuminoids are responsible for turmeric's healing properties because "they're able to reduce pro-inflammatory molecules in our bodies" while increasing antioxidant levels."This spice is definitely worth trying if you have any inflammatory issues," says Rosen.

Now that you know the many skin and health benefits turmeric and its component Curcumin can have, it's time to think about adding it to your own diet.

Dietitian and Wellness Professional Holli Rovenger suggests adding it to "a variety of foods" such as scrambled eggs, omelettes, frittatas, soups, casseroles, vegetables and even in smoothies.

The possibilities are truly endless!

7 Immunity Foods to Eat If You Get COVID-19 to Help Fight It Off – The Beet

If you are one of the over 1 millionpeople to get Covid in the US today, there are foods you can eat to help your body withstand the virus and even get through it sooner, so long as you also take care of yourself by sleeping and drinking fluids as you would do for the common cold or a sore throat.

Hopefully, you have mild symptoms, that resemble nothing more than a cold, due to the fact that you arevaccinated and boosted. But no matter what your immunization status, there are ways to help your immune system fight off a case of COVID just as it needs to battle the flu or even the common cold since all these viruses trigger the body's immune defense. If you eat immune-boosting foods and take care of yourself, you may even experience fewer severe symptoms and get through your COVID case that much faster.

For what to eat to strengthen your immune system against COVID (either before or after you get it) we spoke with an immunologist and specialist, Dr. Robert Lahita, Professor of Medicine at Hackensack Meridian School of Medicinewho has been affiliated with Weill Cornell and other venerable hospitals.He isthe author ofImmunity Strong, which tells readers how to kick up their immune systems to live longer, healthier lives. Dr. Bob (as he requests to be called) has some very practical and actionable advice for what to do if you get COVID and pretty much every other virus or infection out there.

"Your immune system is like the police department in a big city and that city is your body, and it has to watch out for crimes big and small and do its job to keep everything and everyone safe and sound," Dr. Bob told The Beet.In more scientific terms, the driver of the immune system, the dispatch that signals to the body that everything is quiet, or to sound the alarms, is your gut and the microbiome living within it.

The billions of tiny organisms found in the gut are not bad for you but co-exist in a way that acts as the body's first line of defense, so when you eat a diet rich in probiotics (like fruits and vegetables) and prebiotics (like fermented foods and drinks such as kombucha) it is a greatway to give your microbiome all the energy it needsto create a healthy immune system that can head off any infection.

Here are the best vitamins and minerals to help boost your immunity, but first, Dr. Bob says, he highly recommends that youtake a multivitamin every day to fill in the gaps

"Iwould not have always recommended this, but at the point, we are now at with COVID and our poor diets, I think it's wise," he says. "Withnine out of 10 Americans not eating the recommended five servings of fruits and vegetables a day or not even getting three if they're lucky it may be time tobring back the multivitamin."

Of course, it's better to get your nutrients naturally, from diet, but at this point, thestandard American diet is not providing what the immune system needs to function properly, Dr. Bob warns us. The most important vitamins and minerals we should be eating more of, that we are not getting from the diet, are Vitamin C, Vitamin D, and zinc. "These are immune co-factors that help strengthen your immune system and help fortify it. Zinc, he says, is too often overlooked.

"I strongly recommend everyone take a multivitamin every day. I have a dispenser and I take it every day," says Dr. Bob. "Multis have been 'poo-poo'd' or dismissed. I remember doing a magazine article years ago when this was the case. Everyone thought that only children needed a multi."

But today most Americans don't get all the nutrients they need from their diet. Only 10 percent of Americans get the recommended 5 servings of fruits and vegetables a day. In fact, you're lucky if you get three, says Dr. Bob. "And there are specific immunity drivers that are essential now in the days of Covidd, such as Vitamin C, D, A, and E that you need to supplement. Iron and zinc are especially hard to get enough of if you are plant-based," explains Dr. Bob. "So instead of worrying about it, just supplement."

Raw Organic Ruby Red Grapefruits

Your daily intake should be well over 500 and up to 1000 milligrams a day is healthy, says Dr. Bob. The easiest way to get it is from citrus fruits like oranges. "I eat a clementine in the morning and one at dinner time," he says since they have about 35 mg each. "And I get vitamin C in the multivitamin I take each morning. We know from research thata vitamin C dose of over 500 milligrams a day can help combat the common cold and guess what? The omicron is related to the common cold."

Eat citrus fruits like an orange in the morning m (51 mg of vitamin C), or drink lemon water when you wake up (a lemon has 30 mg of vitamin C on average). Grapefruit is also high in vitamin C (38 mg for half a grapefruit) but Dr. Bob adds: "Make sure your medications are compatible since grapefruit can accelerate drug elimination or it can potentiate blood thinners if you are taking those."

Vitamin D is essential for immunity and most people only get a fraction of what they need, especially in the winter months when we are not exposed to as much sunlight as the rest of the year. Dr. Bob says you can either frontload your D vitamin for the week and take one large dose once a week, or you can take it daily and make sure to take it with calcium so your body absorbs what you need.

"You need 50,000 units a week or 500 a day with calcium," he says. "I advise every patient to get a Vitamin D testfrom their doctor since during the winter our D levels drop. So chances are you are deficient and don't know it. And for women oranyone with autoimmune diseases, who I see a lot in my practice, they are often short on D. So just assume you need to take vitamin D.

But don't overdose with vitamin D. You only need an average of 500 mg a day, and some people who have taken five times that amount or more on a daily basis have had adverse side effects, such as kidney stones.As for taking it once a week, yes, your body can sustain that big amount once a week. Add it to juice, so it gets absorbed without disturbing your digestion."

Zinc is one of the key elements that you should take for general immunity, and studies have shown that it can help reduce the symptoms of COVID-19. How? zinc helps the body build the lymphocytes that your body needs to send out the immune cells into the body to kill off invaders of all kinds, and even shorten a common cold. "Zinc iscrucial for normal development and function of cells mediating nonspecific immunitysuch as neutrophils and natural killer cells," according to one study.

Zinc is also helpful in metabolism function. The Mayo Clinic website states: "Evidence suggests that if zinc lozenges or syrup is taken within 24 hours after cold symptoms start, the supplement can help shorten the length of colds." Women need 8 mg daily and men 11 mg.

The best foods for zincinclude tofu, hem, lentils, oatmeal, pumpkin seeds, quinoa, shiitake mushrooms, black beans, green peas, and cashews.

Dr. Bob says it's easier to take zinc than to get it in diet, so he keeps zinc lozenges on his desk and pops one a day. In fact, they are so popular that as he reached for one his supply was out. "I keep them right here on my desk but the nurses take them. They work! You can get them at the supermarket."

Studies show thatVitamin A is crucial for promoting healthy growth and development of cells and protecting the epithelial tissue that surrounds all your organs and that infections or viruses have to pass through to attack any parts of the body. It is also essential to creating healthy mucus which lines the nose and helps capture invading airborne agents that you might inhale. "Vitamin A is also known as ananti-inflammation vitaminbecause of its critical role in enhancing immune function," studies have found.

"I take vitamin E for my skin and immune support," Dr. Bob adds. Vitamin E is a potent antioxidant in the human bodythat also helps the immune system fight infections. One way it does this, studies show, is that Itwidens blood vessels and this helps to keep clots from forming in them.

"It's hard to get all the vitamin E you need fromyour diet, so do take a supplement. I take 200 units of E every day." Vitamin E, which is found in nuts, oil, and other foods, has anti-aging benefitsand can prevent inflammation,lower the risk of heart disease and somecancers, studies have found.

Iron is essential to the immune response in the body, studies have shown. "The role of iron in immunity is necessary forimmune cells proliferation and maturation, particularly lymphocytes, associated with the generation of a specific response to infection," according to one study.

"Most people think iron only comes from animal products but in fact, watercress is high in iron," says Dr. Bob. So are spinach and arugula. Beans are rich sources of iron, as are pumpkin seeds and quinoa. Eat white mushrooms, lentils, potatoes, tofu among other high iron foods. It's actually easy to get enough iron on a plant-based diet.

"Manyvegetables and most legumes contain iron," says Dr. Bob. Men need 8 mg a day while women need over double that amount, or 18 mg a day.

The best way to get all these every day is simply to take a multivitamin, says Dr. Bob.

And Dr. Bob adds: "We need to think about the microbiome, the billions of bacteria that live in the but as well as the lungs, around the hear, in every part of our bodies, which should not be thought of as bad but rather as co-existing with us to help keep the body running smoothly. You need probiotics and prebiotics, in the form of fiber-filled foods or fermented drinks like kombucha, to feed these organisms and let them signal tothe immune system that everything is a-okay."

The easiest way to support your microbiome is by eating high-fiber foods such as fruits and vegetables and drinkingFermented juices. Kombucha. WheatGrass, and other fermented foods.

How diet plays into the strength of our immune system overall

So what else can you do if your aim is to avoid Covid, or get better once you've tested positive for the virus? Diet only plays one role, but the rest of it is fairly common sense, says Dr. Bob.

Get sleep. It's important to get enough sleep and to manage stress and exercise every day. Even if that is the elliptical or the bicycle or just walking every day.

Exercise daily. Get on the elliptical or the bicycle every day, or swim or take a walk. You need to move every single day to show your immune system that you are healthy and able. This motion not only makes your heart healthier but also every other cell in your body.

Prioritize relationships.Intimacyboosts immunity. So having a strong relationship is also important in boosting the immune system and the endocrine system and works hand in hand with what I call the biological soul and that is the immune system.

Manage stress. The brain is integrated into this as well. That's where de-stressing comes in.

The brain is the central control center and if you are dealing with stress hormones it makes everything else worse. Do yoga, meditate or take whatever joys and nourish that part of your life. If we can strengthen our immune system we can fight off COVID and any other infection.

Know your family history. As we get older our immune system gets senescence.So depending on your genetics, your immunity either gets weaker or stays healthy depending on both your personal DNA and how you take care of your immunity. Of course, staying healthy in other areas is vital since nothing stresses your immunity like co-morbidities.

These are all things your immune system and your body has to protect against, so control the things you can, like diet and lifestyle choices, Dr. Bob advises. Help take care of your immune system and it will help take care of you back.

Animmune specialist says that in order to strengthen your immunity against COVID and other viruses, take a multivitamin. It's the easiest way to make sure you are getting all the nutrients such as Vitamins C, D, A, and E plus zinc and iron, right now.

Anti-Aging Secrets That Experts Use Themselves Eat This Not That – Eat This, Not That

Most of us wouldn't mind looking and feeling a bit younger than our chronological age. But many of us don't realize there are science-backed ways to keep your body young, inside and outand in some cases, even reverse the signs of agingthat you can start doing today, right where you are. These are five anti-aging secrets that experts use themselves. Read on to find out moreand to ensure your health and the health of others, don't miss these Sure Signs You've Already Had COVID.

Sleep is when the entire body cleans and recharges its systems, from the brain to the skin to immunity. Not getting enough can make you age faster. "Insufficient or poor sleep puts us at risk of premature aging, traffic accidents, and medical problems, ranging from depression to diabetes and heart disease," said researchers at Columbia University. "Sleep is probably my No. 1 anti-aging tip," nurse practitioner and skincare expert Nancy Pellegrino recently told Yahoo Life. How much is enough? Seven to nine hours of quality sleep a night, say those who should know, including the National Sleep Foundation.

Resistance training is key to preserving bone density and lean muscle mass, both of which decline with age. This can be done with free weights, machines or your own body weight. Case in point: Dr. Stuart McGill, professor emeritus in spine biomechanics at the University of Waterloo. He's in his 60s, has a hip replacement, and studies the best ways to exercise to stave off the effects of aging. He shares that he doesn't pump iron; he does strength-training exercises such as pushing, pulling, lunging, lifting, lowering and carrying. For pulling, he bought a TRX strap set. For pushing, he does standing press exercises.

Vitamin D is crucial for bone healthit helps bone absorb calcium. If you don't get enough, you could be setting yourself up for osteoporosis, a disease in which bones lose density and become more prone to breakage. Plus: "Vitamin D which acts as a hormone in your bodyhas a positive effect on the immune system and may even help offset some age-related immunity issues," said Alan Mensch, MD, of Northwell Health's Plainview and Syosset Hospitals in New York. Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation's top infectious-disease expert, says he takes a vitamin D supplement daily.

When consumed in excess, sugar binds to collagen and elastin, two proteins in our skin that keep it looking firm and young. This creates advanced glycation end products (or AGEs), which damage collagen and elastin and actually prevent the body from repairing them. "Doughnuts are not the key to the fountain of youth," said Mona Gohara, MD, a dermatologist and associate clinical professor of dermatology at Yale School of Medicine. "Skin is an organ. As such, we should eat for our skin, as we do for our heart and brain." Your move: Reduce your consumption of added sugar. The most common sources: Sugar-sweetened drinks and processed foods. Focus your diet on fruits and vegetables and lean proteins.

RELATED: Your New Checklist for Avoiding COVID

Physical activity can make you look youngerand turn back the clock under the hood. "Findings from a few studies suggest that moderate exercise can improve circulation and boost the immune system," says the American Academy of Dermatology. "This, in turn, may give the skin a more youthful appearance."

A recent study published in the journal Cell Metabolism found that high-intensity interval training (HIIT) can reverse the aging of cells and muscles in older people. "Based on everything we know, there's no substitute for these exercise programs when it comes to delaying the aging process," says Sreekumaran Nair, MD, the study's lead author. "These things we are seeing cannot be done by any medicine.

"We encourage everyone to exercise regularly, but the take-home message for aging adults that supervised high-intensity training is probably best, because, both metabolically and at the molecular level, it confers the most benefits." And to get through this pandemic at your healthiest, don't miss these 35 Places You're Most Likely to Catch COVID.

What Is Slugging? Experts Discuss the TikTok Trend – Prevention.com

Weve all tried something in the name of self-improvement. Whether its a shimmery new blush or something more daringremember the lettuce water trend, anyone?the majority of us have ventured to try a beauty trend at least once. This past year, a new South Korean beauty trend made its way West: slugging (dont worry, it doesnt involve any slugs). And it turns out, it just might be what your skin has been missing.

While TikTok may have highlighted the benefits of slugging, the idea behind it has been around for a while. Slugging is actually nothing new, we just didn't have a cute name for it, says Chloe Savvides, licensed medical aesthetician at Paviol Dermatology. We can take this trend back to our grannies and great-grannies with their self-taught skincare techniques for hydration. We can think of slugging as the OG anti-aging moisturizer.

Savvides explains how her grandmother used to slather her face in a heavy cream each night, prompting people to compliment her on how soft her skin was. This was what we now consider slugging. While social media may have given new life (and a new name) to the old trend, its definitely not something everyone should be doing.

Ahead, experts discuss what slugging is, who would benefit from it, and who should avoid it at all costs.

Slugging is a K- Beauty trend that originated in South Korea, according to Savvides. It involves coating your face in an occlusive petrolatum product (most commonly, Vaseline) to trap in moisture and prevent trans epidermal water loss, a top contributor to dry skin. To understand the slug, we must understand what it is meant to do, she explains, adding that the use of an occlusive barrier like Vaseline for protecting against moisture loss is only effective when someone is suffering from extremely dry skin or an otherwise compromised barrier on their face. So, in summary, slugging is just slathering your skin with petroleum jelly. The term stems from the concept that after you apply the petroleum jelly, your face ends up looking shiny and slimy, like what a slug would leave in its wake.

Are you suffering from Eczema? Psoriasis? Wind-chapped cheeks? Then Savvides says slugging may be a good idea in the interim, since its more of a temporary fix for minor problems. When we think of slugging as a reparative means to the skin, we slug more than we think, she says, explaining how her patients often get slugged up after micro-needling or chemical peels. I coat their face in a healing ointment to repair their skin after an aggressive procedure. This is the same as if your mother has ever told you to put Vaseline/Aquaphor on chapped lips or a burn.

If you have compromised skin, like from one of the issues she mentioned before, Savvides says a thin layer of Vaseline or Aquaphor can be a great option for healing your skin.

While Marie Hayag M.D., Board Certified Dermatologist and Founder of 5th Avenue Aesthetics believes people with more mature skin or those who suffer from facial dryness can benefit from the technique, she doesnt think its for everyone. I dont think slugging is suitable for anyone with acne-prone skin, she says. Although petrolatum jelly is non-comedogenic, its too occlusive for acne-prone skin and can trap dead skin cells and other debris, which encourages bacterial overgrowth and acne breakouts.

Savvides says she tells all her patients that the goal of any good skincare routine is a proper balance between exfoliation and hydration. To exfoliate and not properly hydrate, can cause problems down the road with an overproduction of oil on the skin to compensate for the moisture that was lost during exfoliation, she says. Even so when skin is hydrated constantly without being properly exfoliated, it can lead to dull and sometimes even congested skin.

Balance is key. So, if you've caught the slug bug, Savvides says you should only slug when it makes sense. This is why it is so important to consult with an aesthetician or skincare team to collaborate on a routine that is going to work for you. Understanding the proper exfoliation and hydration balance is different for everyone, she says. In the short term, is slugging going to make your skin feel uber soft? Absolutely, but we should be thinking long-term results in our skincare routine... because that's what helps us to stay motivated to actually stick to it. Slugging is not for everyone. However, a properly balanced skincare routine is.

According to Debra Jaliman, M.D, a board-certified dermatologist in NYC, Assistant Professor of Dermatology Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, and author of the book, Skin Rules: Trade Secrets from a Top New York Dermatologist, slugging might just be another skincare fad. Instead, she suggests sticking with what the experts already know works. I recommend sealing your skin with a highly hydrating cream containing ceramides and hyaluronic acid instead.

Savvides also suggests opting for non-petrolatum-based products. Why not a super hydrating face mask? Or a hydrating facial balm? The idea is to lock in moisture overnight, she says.
