For moisturised, radiant skin, Seema Sajdeh sticks to her regular skincare routine.
The popular Netflix show ‘Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives’ continues to make headlines, with its stars sharing their beauty and diet secrets. Recently, designer Seema Sajdeh revealed her nighttime skincare ritual, known as ‘slugging.’ The star’s do-it-yourself (DIY) involves applying petroleum jelly to lock in moisture. Seema, joined by social media personality and her BFF Orhan Awatramani, aka Orry, discussed the benefits of slugging on season 3 of the reality show.
“It’s obvious as you get older your skin loses moisture. So whatever your nighttime routine, just lock it with a generous amount of Vaseline or petroleum jelly and go to sleep. In the morning, you will see your skin has taken in the moisture, leaving it glistening,” she said.
Neelam Kothari has also adopted Sajdeh’s nighttime skincare routinue, after being inspired by her friend’s glowing results.
“Neelam has always been worried about acne. I told her it won’t aggravate it, and she tried it as well,” Seema added.
What is Sluggish?
Slugging is a skincare technique that involves applying petroleum jelly as one of the steps in your nighttime routine to lock in moisture. This protective layer on the skin prevents the loss of moisture overnight alongside locking in all the other beauty products you have applied.
Benefits of using petroleum jelly:
This ritual prevents moisture loss overnight and helps other beauty products sink deeper and soothe dry skin on all areas of the body. Petroleum jelly can gently dissolve almost any kind of makeup, including waterproof mascara. It can also be used as a lip balm to keep it soft and prevent chapping.

The slugging skincare process involves four steps, including:
- Step 1: Cleanse your skinWashing your face is the crucial first step in any skincare routine. Cleanse thoroughly to remove dirt, oil and impurities; only then can you unlock the benefits of slugging.
- Step 2: Follow your skincare routineAfter cleansing, follow your usual skincare routine. Before slugging, use a moisturizing or hydrating product, as the petroleum jelly will lock this into your skin.
- Step 3: Apply Petroleum JellyThe third step is applying the petroleum jelly on your face over the skincare products. With this, you are all set for hydrated and well-moisturized skin the next morning.
- Step 4: Wake up to beautiful skinAt the final step, wash your face the next day with a gentle cleanser and enjoy beautiful, healthy skin.
