Also known as tiger grass, centella asiatica has plenty of skin benefits, especially for dry and sensitive skin types. It does everything from calm inflammation to provide antioxidant protection to improve skin hydration and is often found in products called cica creams. This treatment went viral on TikTok due to its ability to instantly neutralize redness and even out skin tone. It contains SPF to boot so you don't have to worry about following up with a separate sunscreen.
Traditionally used to treat minor cuts and burns, petroleum jelly is a thick, waxy paste that forms a barrier over skin to protect wounds and promote healing. When it comes to skin care, it can be used for slugging, a K-beauty trend that took off on TikTok last year that involves coating your face in the ingredient to lock in moisture overnight. Vaseline is the most popular product for slugging, which generally works best on dry skin types. It's cheap, effective and will last you a long time.
