Does slugging fit your skin?
Slugging means sealing a routine with an ointment, often petrolatum, so water loss drops overnight. Dry, intact skin often likes it. Skin that clogs along the jaw often does not.
Do not slug over a retinoid or an acid while you are still adjusting. You can trap irritation as well as water.

Overnight your skin feels:
In the app
Want a record of should you slug?, not a one-off?
Should you slug? settles the question above. The app is where that decision can be checked against six skin scores over the following weeks.
- Six saved scores: hydration, texture, tone, acne, pores, and redness
- A morning and evening routine built from the scan
- The same face, week after week, so a change shows up as a trend
Scan with your phone. iPhone opens the App Store. Android opens Google Play.
The science
What the should you slug? quiz decides, and what it leaves alone
- 01
A structured question, not a photo score
A quiz fits when the answer depends on behavior, a label, or a number you already know. A camera cannot see how a product feels, what else is in the routine, or whether a breakout started after a new active.
- 02
How this page reaches a label
The questions cover Overnight your skin feels:; You are currently:.
Tied answers stay tied. If two labels earn the same weight, both are shown, because forcing a single winner would invent confidence the answers did not have.
- 03
What the label means, and what the app records
The labels it can return include A thin slug can help, Slug only the dry patches, Skip slugging.
The AISkincare app keeps a scan: hydration, texture, tone, acne, pores, and redness, then builds a morning and evening routine from those scores. This page answers once and does not store the photo.
Use the label to choose a next step, then check it against a scan if the question was about skin rather than about a product or a style.

Where this kind of check runs out
This planner is a cosmetic schedule, not a prescription. Stop an active that burns, swells, or keeps getting worse, and ask a clinician before you change a prescribed treatment.
If the honest answer to a prompt is 'it depends' or 'I am in pain,' stop and treat that as the result. The page cannot examine you.
How to use a should you slug? result
Answer for the cheeks and the jaw separately in your head. If only the cheeks are dry, slug only the cheeks. A thin film is enough. A thick coat is not better.
The labels it can return include A thin slug can help, Slug only the dry patches, Skip slugging.
How to answer so the label is worth having
Answer for the last two weeks, not for your best week or for a photo you wish you had taken. If a prompt is about a product, use the ingredient list on the bottle you own, not a similar product from another brand.

A label today, a score over the month
Should you slug? can be retaken when the routine changes. It will not show whether redness or texture actually moved. That comparison is a scan in the same light, saved in the app.

What the should you slug? quiz cannot decide
This planner is a cosmetic schedule, not a prescription. Stop an active that burns, swells, or keeps getting worse, and ask a clinician before you change a prescribed treatment.
It cannot see beneath the skin, predict a reaction to an ingredient you have never used, or replace a clinician for a spreading rash, a changing mark, or painful acne.
How to use the result
- Answer for the cheeks and the jaw separately in your head.
- If only the cheeks are dry, slug only the cheeks.
- A thin film is enough. A thick coat is not better.
Where to go from here
If one part of the result stood out, open the tool that asks only that question. Each one states its limit in the same place, and each one links back to a guide when a longer explanation helps.
- Double cleanse quizSee whether an oil or balm first cleanse earns a place in your night routine, or whether one gentle cleanser is enough.
- AM / PM splitterSort vitamin C, retinoids, acids, and sunscreen into morning or night so you are not stacking the wrong actives before you leave the house.
- Travel routine cutterReduce your routine to the few products worth the space in a carry-on, based on trip length and how reactive your skin is.
- Sunscreen reapply plannerEnter how long you are outside, whether you swim or sweat, and get a reapply schedule. Two hours is a starting point, not a law for a desk day.
