Why is snail slime good for your skin?

by Rosaria Giuliani on Mar 22, 2022
Perchè la bava di lumaca è ottima per la tua pelle?

Have scars, wrinkles and stretch marks become your obsession? Let's discover together an effective solution that combines all three things!

Have you ever heard of using snail slime ? I know, it sounds strange, but its properties are many and it has been exploited since the time of Hippocrates . It was used for skin irritations thanks to its anti-inflammatory and decongestant properties . Only recently has it been thought of using this fundamental mucous secretion in skin creams, let's look more closely at the various reasons that have allowed it to be included in our products.

This natural secretion is a set, a concentrate of regenerating and nourishing substances. And a mix of proteins, peptides, vitamins that deeply care for our skin.

Creams that contain snail slime have some benefits for the skin, we will see some of them and talk about them. We will start by talking about the benefits without going into too much detail and here are several of them:

- improve the appearance of scars, wrinkles and stretch marks

- they combat acne breakouts thanks to the presence of natural antibiotics

- they help block the formation of free radicals because they have antioxidant power

- help keep the skin hydrated thanks to hydrating properties.

Now we'll try to understand something more...

Snail slime can be used for both the face and the body, why? Because it has hygroscopic properties, what does it mean? It means that it is made up of polymers and polysaccharides that are able to retain water, thus regulating the possible leakage of water in cases of poor hydration.

Another particular property is linked to the mucopolysaccharides present inside, which facilitate adhesion to different surfaces. Have you ever thought that snails, despite not having little legs, can stay on any type of surface, even on inclined planes? This leads us to a conclusion and that is that they have a typical function of adhesion and elasticity. Now imagine what effect it could have on your skin!

Another curiosity to focus on is that snails do not have protective skin, so, in your opinion, what protects snails from possible wounds or bacteria? The drool!! How is it possible?!

It manages to create a thin layer that goes beyond the ground and any abrasions. Isn't that amazing?

The various carbohydrate and protein components create a substance capable of protecting the skin even from the ultraviolet radiation to which we are exposed on a daily basis.

Wrinkles and stretch marks are often associated with those who are a little older, and instead, for young people, what would be the point of daily use of the cream containing snail slime?

Its use could reduce and counteract the appearance of pimples and acne. The natural antibiotics present in snail slime are substances capable of fighting infections caused by bacteria usually present on the skin such as Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and the entire family of bacteria involved in acne. This is also why it is very effective in purifying skin affected by bacterial impurities, also linked to acne.

Snail slime is also one of the most effective remedies against pimples and acne, capable of acting on both the causes and the effects, thanks to the active ingredients contained in snail slime: for example, the presence of glycolic acid favors an acceleration of the process of cell renewal of the upper layers of the epidermis. In the treatment of acne it is effective on three levels: it has a sebum-regulating effect, eliminates impurities, reduces marks and scars. For example, it contains allantoin which protects the skin from oxidation and stimulates the production of epithelial cells, contributing to the reduction of scars and acne marks. Instead, the presence of vitamin A and vitamin E guarantee an antioxidant and soothing action capable of reducing irritation and redness. In particular, vitamin A stimulates the activation of some specific enzymes which are able to improve the superficial layer of the skin by promoting the proliferation and differentiation of keratinocytes (which are nothing other than skin cells) while the role of vitamin E is reconnected to its antioxidant activity, which counteracts the harmful action of reactive oxygen species and indirectly restores the endogenous component of other antioxidants.

Are the properties we are talking about really demonstrable? Of course yes, that's what makes it so special. Snail has strong antioxidant properties thanks to two recognized antioxidant enzymes, superoxide dismutase and glutathione s-transferase.
Secondly, snail slime induces the proliferation of fibroblasts , which is a behavior of crucial importance during wound healing. It has also been found to downregulate MPM, an enzyme responsible for reducing the amount of collagen in the skin.

These properties add up to give snail slime not only healing and regenerative properties, but also serious anti-aging potential .

Two substances present in snail slime that are crucial for skin-related functions are collagen and elastin, which are normally present in our dermis, but which if "taken" superficially could contribute to a better response.

Collagen is an essential part of the dermis that gives the skin softness and firmness , especially when combined with elastin.
Elastin prevents skin aging. As the name suggests, elastin allows tissues to stretch and return to their initial state after stretching, giving flexibility and elasticity to the epidermis. Snail slime cream will make your skin feel better and work deeply giving long term benefits.

So why not try our cream?
