Active components of the snail:

Beware of the products you buy!

It's good to warn you that not all products that contain snail advertised are effective. A product that is effective and serve to repair and heal the skin should contain the slime when snail produces a stimulus for defense (as when in stress). The saliva secreted when they are moving is not effective for these purposes.

When under stress, snail secretes protein and rich in aforementioned components, which are responsible for the repair, regenerative and reconstructive activity in skin.

Treatment based on snail gel:

  1. Most importantly, as we already explained, the gel or cream you get should be from quality and contain snail when under stress.
  2. After then, you should apply the product on your clean skin, preferably after bathing or at night after washing your face or the area you want to repair or heal.
  3. Apply the gel with gentle, circular movements on the affected area.
  4. Repeat this twice a day if possible. Avoid applying the gel or cream if you expose yourself to the sun, if you apply it on your face, it is best at night after washing your face.
  5. Repeat the treatment for a month to see results and remember that each skin is different and the results may be faster or take a little depending on skin type.
  6. Apply the product based on snail until you see results. The product, if it’s from quality and natural, causes no side effects and can be applied daily.
  7. If you perform this treatment for more than three months you will notice a marked improvement in your skin.
  8. If you want to emphasize the results: drink two liters of pure water a day, remember that a well moisturized and hydrated skin is less prone to wrinkle. In addition, we recommend consuming vegetables or foods rich in vitamin A and E, as avocado, carrots, papaya, nuts, olive oil extra virginetc.

    My mother told me about this treatment but I actually don?t feel good about having slime covering my face, yuk! But there are a lot of good results and people who could heal their skin from several problems, maybe I should investigate a little more and then just be safe and try this therapy!

    ooh gross. I sure am glad I read this, but…I don’t knooow. I live in Alaska where we have some of the biggest slugs on the planet. Big banana slugs that get up to 6 inches long. They’re huge and slimy!! I’ve never thought of using them medicinally, but I guess since they abound here, perhaps I should try it@!
