It has been proved experimentally that the structure of the secrets of snails is one hundred percent compatible with the structure of human skin and has healing properties:
– This is a powerful antioxidant, prevents cell destruction
-The only adaptogen of animal origin increases the resistance of cells to oxygen;
-Regenerative properties allow you to eliminate small scars and scars, accelerate the healing of microtrauma;
– endowed with a powerful anti -inflammatory effect;
– restores skin fibers;
– restores damaged capillaries;
– aligns the tone of the face and eliminates stagnant spots;

Snail mucus has gained particular popularity in South Korea and Japan, there in cosmetic salons are used to put snails on the face. Based on healing mucus, cosmetic gels, creams and other means are made.
Snail mucus mask can be prepared at home. For one mask half a teaspoon of mucus is enough. To get mucus, the snail needs to be brought to stress (fright), then it, hiding in the shell, begins to secrete a lot of mucus.
Collected, mucus must be diluted with water to the volume of 2 teaspoons (you have to try, since it is poorly connected to water), we get a viscous transparent lump of gel. For a more familiar type and better consistency of the mask, add cosmetic clay. We apply to clean skin for 15 minutes, then wash off with warm water and wait for the result.
It is noticeable after the first application – the skin becomes smooth, fit, velvety and fresh in appearance. And for a persistent result, it is necessary to apply masks 2-3 times a week, so 10 courses. To prepare one portion of the mask, one snail of Achatina or several grape snails is enough.
