Contraindications to the use of snail mucus:
- Disgust … This is more about massage using snails, when shellfish are planted on the skin and invited to "walk" on it. Not every woman will be able to calmly feel and observe the movement of Achatina.
- Couperose … Since mucus penetrates into the deep layers of the skin and improves blood circulation, it should not be used when preparing masks for women with a pronounced vascular network on the face.
- Rehabilitation after surgery … Do not use mucus if you recently had facial surgery. Despite the healing and restorative properties of mucus, it can cause infection.
- Eczema and weeping wounds … In general, mucus is recommended for use on skin prone to flaking and atopic dermatitis. But this should be done during the period of remission. When bubbles filled with liquid appear and wounds appear, the use of Achatina should be abandoned.
