The Most Bizarre BeautyTrend You'll Ever Try!

Okay, now double down on that amount of bizarre-ness and you have our next beauty obsession: snail cream. Yes, you read that correctly, snail cream. Snail cream is any beauty facial cream that contains snail enzymes, known as mucin, in the ingredients. Mucin, or snail slime, is a thick fluid that snails excrete when their underside is cut or damaged. Essentially, this slime is what regenerates the snail’s bottom side that is constantly being scratched from the pavement.

Okay, we’ve got the technical explanation out of the way. At this point you’re definitely intrigued, a bit grossed out and have a few questions. Questions like, does it smell? What are the benefits to this bugged out cream? And, where do I get it? To begin with, no this cream does not smell! Not only does it not smell, but this white, almost transparent moisturizer melts onto your skin to reveal a warm glow thanks to most snail creams containing 92% snail cells. Some benefits of this miracle cream are pore shrinkage, facial scar fading, wrinkle reduction and it also helps with acne. It’s because of this cream’s regenerative properties and antioxidant properties that it helps skin to heal and generate new cells with each use.

By the time you’ve read this far into this article, you have to admit that you are committed to trying this peculiar but effective beauty item. Although saying snail cream makes you cock your head to the side, it also makes you shrug your shoulders and say, “what the hell, times are strange so I’m down to try anything!.” You should know that there are many different brands of snail cream out there on the market. Mizon was our brand of choice and is easy to find online but we want to recommend two other products that we praise and highly suggest you use with your snail cream.The first is Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Toner . This toner preps your skin, as well as softens and moisturizes its surface getting it clean and ready for your entire beauty routine. We love that this toner doesn’t dry out our skin but rather it restores its supple texture. Our next item, which is also from the Kiehl’s family, is the Midnight Recovery Serum . After applying our toner, we then apply our snail cream. We press, not rub, the snail moisturizer into our skin and this stuff absorbs fast making our nighttime routine lightning quick. Following our snail cream application we use this Kiehl’s serum to work overtime throughout the night to restore our skin.

This oil serum works to restore skin and reveal baby soft skin in the morning, just use 2-3 drops and smooth onto the face for best results.

Don’t you just love how we begin the article with you not trusting our snail cream recommendation and end it with you ordering not one, but three products and one of them is definitely snail cream? We love being right! What we love more is using our snail cream in the morning and at night. Oh, and in case you were wondering, there weren’t any snails harmed in the process of writing this article, only beautiful skin being brought into existence.
