Dermatologist Shereene Idriss explains slugging, the practice of sealing skin with occlusive moisturizers like Aquaphor. Petroleum jelly can trap debris and worsen acne despite being non-comedogenic. She recommends Sickoplast Bone B5 instead, which contains zinc and shea butter, and suggests doing it at night.
Well, aquaphor, any type of petroleum jelly. I'm here for no Kiki, no. So while. Yes, yes, yes, yes. Kiki is right about petroleum jelly. I'm a fan. If she's a Stan, I stand for her. Because petroleum jelly gets enough aid on its own. It is not for those who are acne prone. No. Even though technically it is non comedogenic. Why? Because putting an occlusive layer of petroleum jelly or any sort of mineral oil on top of your face can trap in debris crud oil breakouts can happen leading to worsening of your acne on your face or causing to trigger it. She just got over it. Give your face and your skin a break instead. And I'm not sponsored by these people. Although honestly they should have by now. Sickoplast bone B5 which has zinc in it is a great alternative. It has no mineral oil in it. It is rather lightweight even though it has some shea butter. But it has zinc which is anti inflammatory and the zinc is a double edged sword because it can leave a white cast. But slug at night, no one should be slugging during the day.
