Black people have been using this method for generations ... TikTokers are calling it 'slugging'
Photo-Illustration: by The Cut; Photos: @dihanfc, @aliciamrry, @thecitrinebeauty.co/TikTok On TikTok, suddenly everyone is dousing their face in Vaseline. Although the jelly might seem like an unlikely choice for some, it has been in Black women’s skin-care routines for generations — we just call it “greasing up.”
What is slugging? According to Rachel Nazarian, a board-certified dermatologist at the Schweiger Dermatology Group in New York City, slugging is when someone applies a petroleum-heavy emollient, like Aquaphor, CeraVe, or Vaseline, to the face after completing a skin-care routine and rinses it off with a gentle cleanser the following day. This step is meant to seal the top layer of skin. In doing so, it seals in moisture and your skin-care products.
Michaela Angela Davis, a writer, activist, and fashion-industry veteran, has written for publications like Essence and Vibe and is the executive producer of the forthcoming docuseries The Hair Tales. She said when she was interviewed by a major outlet with a predominantly white target audience and was asked that if she were stranded on an island and could only have one product, what that would be, “I said ‘Vaseline,’ and the editor was appalled,” she said.
“Not only is Vaseline so efficient — we grow up using it on our scalp, new pierced earrings, knees, elbows, cuts, burns, and the face — there’s memory attached to it. It’s a ritual, and there’s a passing down of process when it comes to it,” she said. “My 84-year-old mother uses Vaseline, I use Vaseline, my 30-year-old daughter uses Vaseline, and I’m sure she’ll use it on her children.
