Achatina snails
These giant snails are usually found in Africa. However, inIn some Asian countries, Achatina is grown on farms for food. Shellfish meat is highly nutritious and contains absolutely no cholesterol. The size of these snails is so large that in African countries they are able to completely destroy the crop on the field and even damage the plaster of the house. The length of their body reaches thirty centimeters and barely fits in the palm of a person. They have tentacles and a fairly strong shell. The color ranges from rich beige to brown-brown.
In order to breed Achatina at home, you will need a spacious aquarium with at least ten liters of volume for each mollusk. If there are several of them, then, accordingly, the volume of the aquarium increases for each individual. As a bedding on which the snails will be, use needles mixed with sand. They feed on various fruits and plants.
Procedure at home
First of all, the face should be cleaned with makeup milk and rinsed with water. It should be remembered that any cosmetic product has a detrimental effect on snails. Therefore, the skin should be rinsed as thoroughly as possible and several times. Before putting the snail on the face or body, it should be held in warm water, the shell should be wiped with a sponge. Then the woman notes the time and after twenty minutes removes the snail back into the aquarium. Mucus remaining on the skin can be washed off with plain water. However, many women prefer to leave it under the evening cream. Reviews of snail therapy before and after the procedurevery good.
Skin troubleshooting
Some women mistakenly think that snail mucus can heal hard-to-heal wounds. However, this is not quite true. In fact, despite the obvious benefits, the composition of the mucus does not contain the necessary substances that contribute to the tightening of open wounds. In addition, such a procedure can even harm. And also you can not use snails for healing or alignment of postoperative sutures. Otherwise, you can introduce an infection into the wound.
If there is a capillary network on the face, otherwise called rosacea, then the use of snails is highly undesirable. Clam mucus acts in such a way that blood circulation begins to increase, which means that red spots become more noticeable.
