The popularity of TikTok's #SkinTok has transformed how users approach skincare, particularly through expert advice from dermatologists. Among the emerging trends, 'slathering' is gaining traction as a less extreme alternative to 'slugging.' Unlike using petroleum jelly, users apply thick moisturizers to lock in moisture overnight, aiming for a radiant complexion. Dermatologists highlight the benefits of slathering for hydration and creating protective barriers for skin health. This trend showcases the influence of dermatologists in making skincare accessible and effective without high costs.
The 'skin slathering' trend entails applying a thick, occlusive skin care product - like an oily, rich ointment - to lock in moisture and increase skin's hydration.
On May 5, user @dermguru, aka board-certified dermatologist Dr. Lindsey Zubritsky, M.D., FAAD, posted a video saying: 'To the girl who told me to apply cicalfate as a face mask overnight for the glowiest, most hydrated skin, I owe u my life.'
