Discover the Glow-Boosting "Slathering" Method

 TikTok continues to reshape the beauty scene with new skincare trends popping up every day. One standout recently is “slathering” — a modern and gentler twist on the popular “slugging” technique that locks in moisture. As we transition into warmer weather, this method has become a favorite for those chasing glowing, hydrated, and healthy skin. So, what exactly is slathering? How do you do it? And does it really work?

Here’s a closer look at this easy yet effective nighttime skincare ritual.

What Is Slathering?

Slathering means applying a thick layer of a rich, nourishing moisturizer or balm onto your skin before bed. Unlike slugging, which typically uses petroleum jelly to seal moisture, slathering favors heavier but pore-friendly creams that won’t clog your skin.

The idea is to leave the product on overnight, like a protective mask, to trap hydration, reinforce the skin barrier, and help you wake up to that coveted “glass skin” glow — smooth, radiant, and plump.

Who Is It For?

  • Those with dry or dehydrated skin

  • People with sensitive or weakened skin barriers

  • Anyone regularly exposed to dry or air-conditioned environments

  • Those needing an extra boost of hydration

If your skin tends to be oily or acne-prone, proceed with caution. Thick creams may block pores and trigger breakouts in some cases.

How to Do It

  1. Start Clean: Wash your face thoroughly to remove makeup and impurities.

  2. Apply Your Usual Nighttime Products: Use toner, serums, or treatments as you normally would.

  3. Slather on Moisturizer: Spread a generous, thick layer of a rich moisturizer or balm on your face without rubbing it in fully.

  4. Sleep on It: Leave the moisturizer on overnight. Use a silk pillowcase or an old one to protect your bedding.

  5. Morning Cleanse: Rinse your face gently in the morning. You’ll notice your skin feels deeply moisturized, plump, and glowing.
