You Can Kiss Chapped Lips Goodbye

Applying Occlusive Agents to your skin (AKA Slugging) is proven to reduce transepidermal water loss (TEWL) by up to 98%. Typical lip balms and chapsticks temporarily alleviate the feeling of dry lips, but accelerate TEWL, and cause long-term lip dryness.

2

Makes Your Lips Visibly Plumper

By locking-in moisture, slugging makes lips appear fuller and more voluminous. Studies found that adding an occlusive layer to lips can increase hydration by up to 50%, making lips more soft and supple

3

Keeps Lips Safe From Irritants

According to the British Journal of Dermatology, occlusive agents are effective for enhancing skin barrier function. This has been shown to prevent air and water pollutants from drying out, irritating, damaging, and breaking lip skin

4

Smoother, Ageless Lip Texture

By maintaining lip volume, slugging reduces the appearance of fine lines, and creates a smooth, ageless appearance of lips. This effect is also shown to prevent the development of wrinkles over time.

Slugging Enhances Lip Color

According to the American Journal of Clinical Dermatology, the deep hydration caused by slugging enhances lip color by maintaining uniform pigmentation. It also creates a glossy look that adds natural shine.

LIP SLUG is a creamy, buttery lip mask with a delicate and refined strawberry milk flavor that hydrates, repairs, and grips onto your lips while you sleep. The formula contains peptides and fatty-acid rich emollients that melt into the skin, hydrating and plumping your lips while softening and conditioning any chapped, flakey patches. Lip Slug’s rich, glossy (surprisingly non-sticky!) texture also works as an occlusive, sealing in its moisturizing ingredients overnight so you’ll wake up with supremely soft, hydrated, ultra-juicy lips.
