Now, a cream made of snail slime that promises to banish wrinkles!
March 28th, 2011 - 7:28 pm ICT by ANILondon, Mar 28 (ANI): A new face cream made of snail slime could nourish skin and iron out wrinkles.
Tipped to go on sale in Britain, the Capibell Cream was developed by Laboratorios Lissia in Colombia - where snails are bred for use in aquariums - after people who handle them discovered their hands were left plump and silky soft, reports the Sun.
The cream, worth 10 pounds is the latest in a string of unusual treatments, including a skin serum made of snake venom and spas that use fish to nibble away rough skin on feet.
The snail slime will be showcased next week at a cosmetics exhibition in Milan, Italy. (ANI)
