Snail anti-wrinkle cream

Korean and Japanese cosmetics have won the hearts of many women from all over the world in just a few years. Particular attention should be paid to cosmetic products based on snail mucus, it does not sound very pleasant, but after looking at the reviews of our Slavic girls, you understand that these skincare products can work wonders.

Cream with snail mucus

The magical properties of snail mucus were discovered not so long ago, in the early 1960s. At the snail farm, the staff noted that if snail mucus got on the wound, it healed very quickly, and they began to note the excellent condition of the skin on their hands, pigmentation disappeared, wrinkles smoothed out, and the texture became smoother. That’s when cosmetologists began to pay attention to snail mucus, carefully studied it and began adding it to creams and other skin care cosmetics.

Such cosmetics are suitable for absolutely everyone, any skin type. Women with very sensitive skin noted that literally a week after use, the skin no longer reacted so strongly to external irritants and stopped reddening and flaking.

Women with oily and problem skin We were also completely delighted with the creams with snail mucus. Yes, they did not radically solve problems with inflammation, but inflammation became significantly less, and post-acne marks smoothed out and disappeared over time.

What are the benefits of snail remedies?

Snail mucus or mucin has many beneficial properties for the epidermis. It is worth noting that it is obtained from an edible type of snail, which is specially bred for prestigious restaurants. It turns out that snails secrete two types of mucus, they need one to move freely on any surface, and the second is produced in stressful and traumatic situations. It is the second type of mucus that is used in cosmetology. Of course, to obtain the second type of mucin, no one kills the poor snails; they simply subject them to slight mechanical stress: they shake or touch the slippery body.

As mentioned above, mucin is very rich in collagen and elastin, these substances are the basis of youth and smoothness of the epidermis. Snail mucus also contains glycolic acid and allantoin, which stimulate epidermal cells to quickly renew themselves. And finally, the mucus contains the well-known hyaluronic acid, which intensively moisturizes the epidermal cells at a deep level.

A cocktail of these beneficial components leads to rapid healing of wounds, eliminates inflammation, peeling, redness, evens out facial tone, stimulates cell regeneration, and intensively moisturizes. What else do you need for beautiful facial skin?

How to properly use products with snail mucin?

First of all I would like to say, Who is this product best suited for: people with dull, tired and dehydrated skin. For women with age-related changes, the product perfectly fights wrinkles even at the age of 40+.

Before you start using cosmetics with snail mucus, We do not recommend buying the entire series at once. Buy one product: cream, spray, tonic or mask. In some cases, mucin can still cause an allergic reaction, so before applying the product to your face, apply a small amount to the outside of your palm and wait about an hour. If the skin does not show a negative reaction, then you can safely apply it to your face.

Apply the product to well-cleaned skin in a thin layer. It has a slimy, very slippery consistency, but does not leave an unpleasant residue or film on the face. You don’t need to apply too much of the product, and it absorbs quickly, but one time will be enough.

The product with mucin can be used both in the morning and in the evening. But it is best to apply it in the evening to cleansed skin, a couple of hours before bed. If you want to use the product as a base for makeup, then the cream must be well absorbed; for this you need to wait half an hour before applying foundation or BB.

You shouldn’t expect a magical result from a product with mucin in one go. Products with snail mucus have a cumulative property, and the desired result is achieved 12-15 days after regular use.

The benefits of creams with snail extract

Snail mucus filtrate is currently used by many manufacturers of skin care cosmetics. It consists of mucin (high molecular weight complex proteins that are naturally produced by the body of animals and humans) and water. These biological compounds (proteins) are involved in all processes of skin vital activity: they provide breathing, nutrition, restoration, which makes them necessary and irreplaceable.

Snails secrete two types of mucus:

1. Itype serves to wet the surface of the body, facilitating movement;
2. IItype the snail is released only in stressful conditions, for example, when its body is damaged or its life is threatened. It is this mucus that is involved in the restoration and healing of wounds and is used by cosmetologists to make care products.

Snail mucin consists of:

1. allantoin, which restores epidermal cells;
2. collagen and elastin, which increase tone and elasticity;
3. glycolic acid, which promotes cell renewal;
4. hyaluronic acid, which moisturizes the upper layers of the epidermis;
5. peptides that smooth out fine wrinkles;
6. chitosan, which stimulates the production of collagen and elastin;
7. vitamins A and B6, which have antioxidant properties;
8. vitamin B12, regenerating and moisturizing the skin;
9. vitamin E, which fights free radicals;
10. vitamin C, which prevents aging and strengthens local immunity;
11. antibacterial elements that relieve inflammation.

Thus, the rich natural biological composition of snail secretion makes it multifunctional and active in solving various problems.

This snail component has received the international cosmetic name Snail Secretion Filtrate. It is obtained from special snail farms. In laboratory conditions, snails are stimulated to achieve a mild stress state. The secreted mucus is collected in sterile sealed containers, filtered and sent for production to cosmetic companies.

It is worth noting that animals do not suffer or die using this method of collecting biological material.

The percentage of mucin in all products is different, depending on the purpose and method of its use.

In what cases is cream with snail extract used?

Snail cream with snail extract is used to rejuvenate, moisturize, brighten, heal, relieve inflammation and regenerate the skin. One face cream, as a rule, performs several functions simultaneously.

For oily skin prone to all kinds of rashes, greasy shine, enlarged pores, drugs with a higher concentration of mucin are used. These creams:

2. eliminate greasy shine;

3. Film masks (peelings).

5. Cleansers cope well with skin impurities:

6. Tonics and cosmetic water remove cleanser residues and prepare the skin for subsequent care.

Advantages and disadvantages of creams

How to properly apply cream with snail extract

There are no outstanding features or methods for applying snail cosmetics.

All products are produced either with a dispenser, or sealed with a small hole at the end in soft plastic tubes for squeezing, or in jars with measuring spoons.

The higher the mucin content, the more the cream resembles thick mucus. Highly concentrated products apply wonderfully to the skin and are distributed without problems, but are practically not absorbed. This should be taken into account when using the cream. It is definitely not suitable for decorative cosmetics. But at night it will become a super remedy.

Application method:

1. Thoroughly cleanse your skin with your usual product (gel, mousse, micellar water).
2. Remove any remaining cleanser from your skin with a toner.
3. Apply serum (will enhance the effect of the cream or complement it with other properties)
4. Squeeze out a pea of ​​cream or scoop it out of a jar with a special spatula.
5. Distribute over the face with gentle, soft, smooth movements along the massage lines, patting lightly.

The cream around the eyes is also applied only to well-cleansed skin and only with light pats with the little finger.

If the product is concentrated and dense, it is recommended to apply it in the evening, an hour and a half before bedtime. The active ingredients will have time to act before you go to bed, and all the cream will not remain on the pillowcase.

Light creams used in the morning can be a good base for skin toning.

BB creams with snail mucus extract are an excellent option for evening out skin tone. Apply in the same way as regular light creams. To distribute evenly over the face, the base must be moisturized (with serum, basic cream or tonic). BB creams produced by Mizon are universal care and decorative products. They have healing, sun protection and toning functions. They are excellent day creams.

How often can you apply the cream?

To achieve a good lasting effect, creams with snail mucin should be used regularly.

Creams must be selected depending on the condition of the skin and the season. In cold weather, careful nutrition and hydration, protection from temperature changes and recovery are necessary. In summer – protection from ultraviolet radiation and reduction of inflammatory processes.

All products are used twice a day. In the morning and in the evening. Lighter during the day, under makeup. In the evening, the choice can be a night mask. All products can contain snail mucin with different concentrations.

There are no restrictions on the use of cosmetic snail lines.

It is better to give preference to a cream that contains more than 70% snail mucin. The consistency of the cream is appropriate - mucus, which is not so easy to get out of the jar. It is more convenient to apply to the face with a cosmetic spatula. Some manufacturers provide it in the kit. On sale you can find creams whose consistency is lighter than mucus - viscous and not very thick. It is easier to apply such creams to the face; you can do without a spatula. The concept of “cream” does not quite correspond to the name; “serum” is more suitable, again because of the consistency. To moisturize dry facial skin, snail cream will not be enough; some manufacturers recommend applying a moisturizer after applying snail mucin. The cream should be applied with patting movements of the fingers, as if driving it into the skin. After applying the cream, there may be a feeling of tightness, but it goes away after a couple of minutes. The skin takes on a matte tint. The cream will not smooth out deep old wrinkles. And it can cope with facial wrinkles and crow’s feet with a bang. Snail-based products are very popular among girls with oily skin and acne sufferers. The cream tightens pores, regulates sebum production, quickly treats inflammation and smoothes the skin. Reviews say that snail cream significantly improves the condition of the skin and prevents new “problems” from appearing on the face after two weeks of daily use. The rejuvenating effect of the cream with snail extract can be noticed after two months of regular use. The skin will look younger, fresher and healthier.

Elena Astafieva, 35 years old. Volgograd

I tried two snail creams: Mizon and Snailme. The first cream did not suit me. The skin did not react to it in any way, it even seemed to me that there were attempts to cause irritation. Snailme cream, on the contrary, has become my favorite. I've been using it for six months now. The skin became rejuvenated, facial wrinkles disappeared, and I forgot about the rashes that appeared on my face consistently once a month. Excellent cream, I recommend it to everyone.
