Who doesn’t love an amazing skin product that actually works? We are so lucky these days, because now more than ever people are developing new and exciting skin products that really work. One major advance is serums. Women in Asia have been using serums accompanied by cotton masks and massage for decades now and the practice has finally arrived on the shores of the United States. This new health product can be found in your corner drug store, department stores and prestige retail stores.
You can buy stand alone serums or serums that are loaded into disposable masks.The consistencies range from oil bases to gels to organic mediums. The consistency of a serum is usually quite gooey and slimy, but cool and wonderful. The serums contain secret formulas of vitamin enriched mediums that cool the skin and attract hydration and then lock it in.
The gooiest in some cases come from snail slime. Factors in the snail slime promote excelerated healing of the skin and intense moisturizing. One has to wonder how such large quantities can be extracted from such tiny animals? Can this possibly be humane? The answer is both yes and no depending on who the snail farmer is and how he or she chooses to extract the slime. Yes, sadly, some farmers kill the snails, but there are many who utilize a scientific approach that utilizes steam and actually creates pleasure for the snails with the end result of gallons of slime and the snail getting to go back home after a lovely group sauna.
Alas, here is an amazing product, but does it last? This is the big question and I would say in a very subtle way, yes, but not in of itself. This is not a stand alone fix for aging or damaged skin. I would propose that you combine the use of these products with a stress free lifestyle and a very healthy diet. Balance is the key that unlocks the door to wellness and results in a glow that we interpret as beauty.
It’s real life magic at our fingertips.
