Snail slime whitens spots, smoothes wrinkles, and treats acne – truth or myth?!
Snail slime removes stains – truth or myth!?
How was it discovered that snail mucus erases all kinds of skin imperfections – spots, scars, wounds, stretch marks, wrinkles and acne? And do snails really secrete mucus that performs these incredible beautifying and healing processes? It all started in Chile in 1980 at Fernando Bascuñan’s snail farm. Snails were grown for export for consumption, because in many countries they are a beloved delicacy. Fernando noticed that the hands of workers who had direct contact with the snails looked very good. Their skin was healthy, smooth, beautiful, without scars and spots, and in case of injuries, their wounds healed amazingly quickly. This observation of his turned into a study and was followed by a number of studies and experiments, which culminated in a good result - the launch of a cosmetic line of products that contain snail mucus and have healing properties, such as erasing scars, smoothing wrinkles, smoothing stretch marks, etc.
What is the secret of snail slime?
Snail mucus has powerful regenerating properties, i.e. in the presence of skin imperfections, the mucus accelerates the processes of restoring the healthy appearance of cells. The composition of snail extract contains a high concentration of the most important ingredients for maintaining beautiful and healthy skin. These ingredients are contained in all beauty cosmetic products and anti-wrinkle creams, but in cosmetics they are produced artificially, and in snail mucus they are natural. The important elements that work wonders are: allantoin, proteins, glycolic acid, collagen and elastin. Allantoin accelerates the processes of cell regeneration and keeps the skin healthy, beautiful and firm. Proteins deeply nourish and soften the skin, making it velvety smooth and tender. Collagen and elastin are basic elements of the connective tissue of the skin and are responsible for maintaining firm and young skin. As we age, our bodies produce less collagen and elastin, which causes our skin to sag, wrinkles, and blemishes to appear. Glycolic acid accelerates the production of healthy, new cells, acting as a powerful exfoliant that removes dead skin.
Have you used a gel with snail mucus, which erases stretch marks and scars and prevents the appearance of new ones by nourishing and restoring the skin at the cellular level?
The mucus secreted by snails repairs damage and fractures to their shells. It is applied and acts on human skin in the same way. The snail repairs the broken shell through the mucus in about 40 days. So how many days will it take to erase stretch marks, scars, spots, acne or smooth out deep wrinkles? The higher the concentration of snail mucus in a product, the stronger the effect it will have. Cosmetics with snail extract (called snail mucus or mucin) are widely popular and adored by ladies because they have a natural Botox effect and incredible healing properties on the skin.
Did you know that the snail is the only animal with blue blood that is healing, and the substances found in the snail shell. The healing properties of snails and snail mucus - mucin - have been known since ancient times. Hippocrates prescribed the consumption of snails in the presence of problems in the gastrointestinal tract. He himself noticed how snail mucus works on the skin - it smoothes and tightens wrinkles, cleanses pores in depth, erases scars, spots, treats acne and soothes skin irritations and infections.
The healing power and properties of snails and the mucus they secrete are not a novelty or discovery, but rather a forgotten gift from nature, which we have remembered in the last few years and called a big hit in cosmetics. Nature is truly ingenious and has provided us with herbs and remedies that can protect us from diseases.
