We all know that snails are one of the most common mollusks on land and that they are particularly fond of eating the fine shoots and young leaves of crops, so they are more harmful to crops. With the development of science, people's knowledge of snails has gradually increased and they have discovered its many benefits, gradually bringing them into captivity and allowing them to do more wonders for mankind. Snail skincare is becoming a new trend for more and more urban women. More and more people are aware of the many benefits of using snail skin care. But most people still don't understand why snails protect our skin, and the main reason is because of the snail slime.
What do snails need slime for?
Snails have a gland on their feet called a foot gland. The foot glands produce a very sticky liquid, so we see a trail of mucus where the snail has crawled.
1. During the snail's dormant period, the slime secreted by the foot glands dries to form a membrane at the mouth of the snail's shell, sealing the body in tightly until the external environment is suitable for physical activity.
2. Snails generally rely on their gastropods to walk, and the slime serves to lubricate and protect the gastropods from direct friction between the gastropod muscles and the ground.
3. The chemical richness of the snail's slime helps the snail to kill certain bacteria on its skin and enables it to regenerate quickly when its skin is damaged.
What does snail slime do for our skin?
The main types of snail mucus products we see on the market today are snail protein powder, snail protease, snail protein peptides, and snail extracts. The different product dosage forms are all similar, it is just that different products need to be compounded to choose the right product dosage form.
1. Keeps the skin hydrated and firm
The collagen in the snail slime is an important connective tissue component of the skin, and together with elastin, it forms the complete skin. As we age, the skin loses its elasticity and wrinkles develop. Proper supplementation of elastin can prevent the early appearance of wrinkles and reduce the damage caused by UV rays.
2. Acts as a skin softener and antioxidant
The allantoin in snail slime is effective in repairing wounds, helping the skin to fight free radicals, moisturizing, wound healing, anti-inflammatory, stimulating cell regeneration, and soothing.
3. Refines and glows the skin
The glucuronic acid in snail mucilage loosens the mucilaginous lipids on the surface of the skin to facilitate exfoliation, accelerate cell regeneration, reduce wrinkles and scars, remove dullness, and lighten pigmentation and fight free radical damage to the skin.
Snail slime is rich in proteins, amino acids, vitamins, mineral elements, alkaloids, organic acids, sod, and many other active ingredients. It has high nutritional value and is easily absorbed by the body. It can be applied not only to cosmetics but also to medicines and food nutritional additives. After supplementation, it can promote human metabolism, enhance physical fitness, clear heat, detoxify, reduce swelling and thirst, inhibit the growth of harmful substances lipofuscin in the human body, and enhance the excellent effect of intelligence.
