“I can’t live without it,” my friend Maggie was telling her friend Anna.
“I’m outside riding horses every day – that’s my life. Without it I’d look like a 98-year-old hag. People are amazed when they find out it’s snail goo…”
I wasn’t paying attention until I heard that last part. The three of us were sitting in a café in the small coastal town of Arequipa, Peru.
“Snail goo?” I interrupted. “You put that on your face?”
“Al, what I use is right up your alley – it’s nature’s anti-aging serum.”
Maggie wasn’t surprised that I had never heard of snail goo. It’s not well known in the United States.
As I learned more, I couldn’t wait to share it with you. This magical snail serum reduces the appearance of wrinkles, softens the skin and moisturizes, helps reduce the appearance of sun damage, and evens out skin tone.
Beautiful Skin from Escargot?
As we drove up to the snail farm, I saw a big warehouse. “This doesn’t look like a farm,” I said to Maggie.
“That’s because they keep the snails inside,” she explained.
The supervisor let us sneak inside for a quick visit. It was dimly lit, but I saw them once my eyes adjusted – rows of snails munching on a fresh supply of fig leaves. Below them was a basin where the extract was collected.
Back outside, the supervisor told me that discovering the snail serum’s health-promoting properties was a complete accident.
Snail handlers, with the job of getting rid of these pests from vineyard crops, noticed how amazingly smooth their hands were.
You see, snails have the ability to naturally protect, moisturize, and repair damage to their skin and shell with the special serum that they generate. It protects them from things like free radicals, environmental contamination, and UV radiation.
And the same serum that heals and protects the snails works on human skin as well.
Repair Your Skin Naturally
The next day, Maggie took me to the local market where she buys the snail extract. She said we had to make sure we got there early because they tend to sell out quickly. And sure enough, when we got to the stand with the snail serum, there was already a crowd of people waiting for it to open.
I managed to pick up some jars and brought them back to my research center for some analysis.
Here’s what we found…
It turns out snail skin is similar to human skin, as it, too, has collagen, elastin and other similarities. So the serum that works so well at repairing the snail’s own skin and shell does the same for human skin.
Snail serum is composed of biological compounds that are a combination of carbohydrates and proteins as well as minerals like copper, zinc, calcium and iron. These compounds and minerals help build collagen and elastin. And collagen and elastin are necessary for healthy, beautiful skin.
This snail extract is also a natural source of hyaluronic acid (HA), which promotes the ability of collagen and elastin to retain moisture in your skin. It acts almost like a sponge soaking up water. This gives your skin firmness, elasticity, and flexibility to reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
When you’re young and healthy, you have large amounts of HA in various tissues in your body like your skin, joints and even your eyes. It provides hydration, cushioning, and support. As you age, however, your HA levels start to decline, causing dry, saggy skin.
In fact, clinical research supports just how effective snail serum is at building healthy human skin.
One study published in the journal Skin Pharmacology and Physiology shows that snail enzymes have regenerative properties for human skin. Specifically, the study shows that it:
- Improves signs of photo aging
- Has antioxidant activity and free radical scavenging capability
- Promotes skin cell creation and survival – essential to beautiful healthy skin
Get the Purest Snail Extract Available
Once I saw that Maggie was on to something with this snail extract stuff, I called her and had her ship some samples to me. I gave them out to some of my patients and everyone in the office. All the women went crazy for it. They told me…
- “My skin feels softer.”
- “My crows’ feet have almost vanished.”
And they want more of it.
And, I confess. Even I gave it a try to see if it worked. I have to say that I noticed a big difference in my skin right away. It feels much softer, and my complexion is clearer. Frankly, I am very impressed with the results.
So I’ve decided to bottle it myself.
My new snail serum, Caracol Bella, comes straight from South America. It’s a cooling gel and 100% natural with no harmful parabens. So you get only the purest snail enzymes available.
