TikTok's "Lip Slugging" Is Your Savior for Those Chapped and Dry Winter Lips
The key to a butter smooth pout.
If dry, flaky and chapped lips have you down this winter, TikTok has come up with a solution to curb those problems. Meet #lipslugging.
With 807 million views on the trend forecast app, lip slugging is one to which even the derms have to tip their hats. Lip slugging is a conditioning treatment designed to soothe cracked, dry and tight lips. Those who partake will want to layer a mix of thin and thick products, letting it work overnight for the moisture to penetrate and the skin barrier to be repaired. Slugging is a big trend on TikTok — many opt for this method to aid their dire need to restore and revive an irritated skin barrier that can be brought on by high wind, sun or dry skin conditions. Dermatologist Dr.Sarah stands by the hack and advises to apply a lip mask first and add in other skin-loving ingredients like shea butter, hyaluronic acid, cocoa butter and vitamin E.
We want your lips to be at their prettiest pout this winter, so we’ve included a few lip slugging clips ahead for your review.
