Just apply occlusive creams over delicate fixings.” 

In any case, Dr. Shah alerts against abuse. “Slugging is essentially helpful as an infrequent overnight treatment to address occasional or situational dryness and chipping. Utilized consistently, it’s a single direction pass to breakout city.” 

Those with skin inflammation inclined skin, specifically, ought to abstain from slugging no matter what, since Vaseline shapes an obstruction that can prompt breakouts.

“It’s an unbelievably hazardous, maturing, harming technique,” she says. “Not exclusively does present unprotected skin to the sun lead to untimely maturing and consumes, it can likewise prompt skin malignancy. No, bless your heart!” 

However, Dr. Shah has a more nuanced take. “I’ve seen a few groups utilize a base of SPF30 with a shaping layer of SPF50 and keeping in mind that I don’t suggest this present, it’s anything but the most exceedingly awful thing I’ve seen on TikTok,” he says. “I suggest basically ensuring your skin with SPF30+ and reapplying at regular intervals.”

As per Dr. Shah, there have been a couple of studies showing that chlorophyllin (a subsidiary of chlorophyll) can be useful for treating skin inflammation when applied topically. “Nonetheless, fluid chlorophyll has not been displayed to have that advantage,” Dr. Shah says. “It’s somewhat protected, yet there is a little danger of a phototoxic rash called ‘pseudoporphyria’ creating after burning-through fluid chlorophyll.” Instead, Dr. Shah suggests a less complex and more charming hack: eating more green vegetables like spinach, cabbage, and broccoli, all normally high in chlorophyll and with no terrible results.
