The thick slime that the garden snail leaves behind apparently has anti-aging properties, and is now used as a key ingredient in many facial crèmes.

Some dermatologists are of the opinion that it can make users appear six times younger in four weeks! The benefits of snail slime were discovered by Chilean snail farmers, who noticed that their skin healed quickly without scarring when they handled the creatures. The mollusks secrete the mucus -containing a potent combination of beauty enhancers like elastin, proteins, anti-microbials, copper peptides, hyaluronic acid, and glycolic acid -to regenerate itself or its shell once it has been harmed. So when used on the face, it helps in regenerating skin cells. So will you get over your `eww' instincts to experience the wow factor?
