Here’s Why You’ll Be Adding Snail Slime To Your Skincare Routine In 2023 by NUME-Lab Switzerland
Snail slime, also known as snail mucin extract, is a popular ingredient in skincare products that’s been gaining popularity like crazy in recent years, and with a good reason! But what makes it so special?
Well, the mucus secreted by these tiny creatures to protect themselves from cuts, bacteria, and even UV rays contains a potent blend of beauty-boosting substances, including elastin, proteins, antimicrobials, copper peptides, hyaluronic acid, glycolic acid, and more.
Snail Slime - Antiaging Powerfood
Yeap, you heard right! From fading dark spots and scars to plumping the skin, reducing wrinkles and fighting acne, this unique ingredient is truly a powerhouse. And trust us, once you try it, you’ll be hooked.
12 reasons why it is a skincare powerfood
Without further delay, let’s look at the 12 reasons why you should add snail slime to your skincare routine in 2023:
Hydrates and Moisturizes the Skin
Snail slime naturally contains hyaluronic acid, which makes it incredibly hydrating. As a result, it can help your skin retain moisture, leaving it looking and feeling soft and supple. Moisturization and hydration are perhaps one of the most well-known benefits of snail slime.
2
Helps with Acne and Scarring
Thanks to being rich in glycolic acid and elastin, snail slime can help reduce the appearance of acne scars and other types of scarring. Additionally, snail mucin is antibacterial and antimicrobial, which prevents most types of acne from forming in the first place. No matter the underlying cause, using snail mucin for acne can really improve your condition.
3
Fights Wrinkles and Has Anti-Aging Properties
Snail mucin is packed with antioxidants and has anti-aging and anti-wrinkle properties that help protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals, pollution, and UV rays. Additionally, it promotes elasticity which further diminishes signs of aging skin
4
Brightens the Skin Tone and Fades Hyperpigmentation
Aside from fading dark spots and hyperpigmentation caused by acne or tanning, snail mucin can help brighten the overall appearance of your skin and give it a more youthful glow. These skin-brightening properties of snail slime are the reason why so many K-beauty products use it as an ingredient.
5
Stimulates Collagen Production
Collagen is an important protein in the skin that helps keep it looking firm and youthful, and snail slime can help stimulate the production of collagen and elastin in the skin. As a result, you’ll shortly notice fewer wrinkles and fine lines, and a more plumping appearance of your skin
6
Reduces Inflammation
Snail mucin extract is a natural anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antimicrobial agent. These properties make it a great solution for inflammatory acne and other conditions or sensitivities that result in skin imperfections like redness and puffiness.
7
Supports Skin Regeneration
Due to being naturally rich in AHAs like glycolic acid, snail slime is great for supporting the skin’s natural regenerative processes, and promoting the growth of new, healthy skin cells. In other words, you can get back your pinching cheeks and baby face! No more loose and lifeless skin!
8
Unclogs Skin Pores
Once again, thanks to the gentle AHAs in snail mucin, it can help you get rid of blackheads, whiteheads, and all other impurities. Its gentle exfoliation powers are more than enough to unclog your pores and enjoy clean skin.
9
Improves Skin Texture and Firmness
By promoting the production of collagen and elastin, and supporting the skin’s natural regenerative processes, snail slime can help improve the texture and firmness of your skin. Plump and tight skin, here we come!
10
Sourced Ethically
Contrary to popular belief, we don’t damage any of our snails to harvest their mucus. On the contrary – we use a SPA method to relax and prompt mucus excretion without harming the little creatures whatsoever! This makes our product ethical, cruelty-free, and sustainable.
