It is often the fragrant and soft creams that attract us. This time, let yourself be tempted by the pure and hard natural: snail slime.
Drool for beautiful skin
Scientists and dermatologists are categorical. Snail slime contains multiple beneficial virtues for the skin. Elasticity, firmness, hydration, the cocktail is complete. In Japan, women regularly make masks from this substance, leaving the little beasts on their faces. Yum !
It is the mucus of the snail that interests us. A small company from Sarthe specializing in the processing of this product was contacted by LCI. Its founder, Fabrice Pierron explains: “ It’s natural, it’s organic, it’s quirky “. For his part, the owner of the snail farm in the Drône describes the process: “ The snails are stimulated by hand to collect the secreted slime. Once the harvest is done, the slime is purified, filtered and concentrated in the laboratory. “
Drool, a magic potion?
“Thanks to its secretion, the snail has the ability to self-regenerate and self-heal. For example, he can rebuild his shell in a few days ”, adds Fabrice Pierron. And for us, what does it give? Mucus contains allantoin, which helps hydrate and regenerate skin cells.
Slime contains proteins and vitamins and helps fight acne. Elastin and collagen allow them to firm the tissues of the epidermis. At last, glycolic acid would be ideal for removing dead cells and refining the skin texture. In the heart of winter, this is enough to give tired faces a boost!
