Slugging Is Trending And So Is Drunk Elephant Wonderwild
Drunk Elephant Wonderwild Miracle Butter ($38) is a new multi-use plant based butter that contains marula, cupuaçu, mango, and shea to help hydrate skin and replenish lipids in your skin and even aid in strengthen a compromised skin barrier that maybe have made too much use of acids. Slugging is currently the new trend on Tiktok. It’s funny to watch Tiktoks and younger women and men doing videos about slugging. They speak about it as of the technique is brand new and they just discovered it. I love that old is new mentality Tiktok creators have.
But slugging is not new and it’s been around a while and may even be a technique you use currently or have used in the past. I do it in the Winter when my skin is extra dry. It seals in moisture and helps skin to remain soft and smooth. It’s also a great way to sooth skin that may have too many acids or exfoliants in its diet.
What is slugging?
Sounds gross right? Slugging simply refers applying a layer of petroleum jelly as the last step of your nighttime skin care routine. This not only moisturizes your skin but also helps lock in the other products you applied. Jennifer Aniston swears that Vaseline is what she’s used under her eyes for years!
Drunk Elephant Wonderwild Miracle Butter releases at the right time with slugging at an all time high on the trend report. Tiffany Masterson, founder of Drunk Elephant, explained that her mom had fallen and had to have face stitched up and apparently they used Wonderwild on her mom’s face during the healing process. Apparently her doctor was very impressed and said he expected such results in three months when in fact it had only been three weeks. Of course, it’s not a medical product by any means but petroleum jelly is always great on wounds and it sounds like this is just as nourishing.
The balm is multi-use and can be used on lips, dry elbows and knees, your face, and more.
I’m curious to try it out!
