Dermatologist Weighs In On Viral Snail Therapy

Snail Therapy is a new skincare trend where live snails are placed on the face to release a substance called mucin.

This mucin is known for its benefits like hydration and skin repair.

However, dermatologists warn that while purified snail mucin in skincare products is beneficial, live snail facials come with risks like hygiene concerns and skin reactions.

People with allergies or sensitive skin should be especially cautious.

Experts recommend using clinically tested snail mucin products instead of trying live snail facials.
