    The Ideal Overnight Treatment: The « Slugging » Method for Lips

    1. Apply a thin layer of a water-based hydrator if available (e.g., a drop of aloe vera gel or hyaluronic acid serum). Let it dampen the lips.

    2. Immediately follow with a thick layer of a pure occlusive:

      • Petroleum jelly (Vaseline) – The dermatologist gold standard. It’s non-comedogenic, inert, and forms the most effective barrier.

      • Lanolin (like Lansinoh) – Excellent for severely dry lips; mimics skin lipids.

    3. Leave on overnight. Wake up to dramatically softer, plumper lips.
