Question
Can snail secretion be used on skin that is currently peeling? Is it suitable for sensitive or easily irritated skin? I am interested in using products like Snail Secretion and The Real Snail™ (Freeze-dried snail secretion).
Answer
Snail Secretion for Peeling and Sensitive Skin
Regarding the use of snail secretion on peeling or sensitive skin:
- For peeling skin: While snail secretion contains ingredients like Glycolic Acid that offer gentle exfoliation, it is generally recommended not to use it when your skin is actively peeling. It's best to wait until your skin has recovered and the peeling has stopped before incorporating snail secretion into your routine.
- For sensitive or easily irritated skin: Snail secretion is known for its skin-benefiting properties, including components like Allantoin and Antibiotic Peptides that help reduce irritation and inflammation. Therefore, it can typically be used on sensitive skin. However, always ensure your skin is not severely irritated or peeling before use.
Products containing snail secretion include Snail Secretion and The Real Snail™ (Freeze-dried snail secretion).
