1. Snail slime
Better known for being eaten as escargot, snails are now being used in beauty products. Snail mucin, which is the scientific name for snail slime, is growing in popularity as a key ingredient in numerous creams, masks and serums.
The idea of slathering snail slime on your face may sound unappealing, but it's been proven to prevent dryness, give the skin a dewy glow, combat signs of ageing and even enhance wound-healing.
