We know what you are thinking – snail soap can’t really be from snails can it? Well, the snail slime may not be the most appealing addition to your beauty regime – but aren’t we all searching for that magical wrinkle cure?

New methods of extraction and refining means that we can enjoy hyaluronic acid, glycoprotein enzymes, antimicrobial and copper peptides, and proteoglycans in a variety of soaps , creams and serums . Snail creams and soaps are not only popular in Thailand , but Korea , Japan and the Philippines .
Even though there are many Snail extract products on the market, Snail White Whipp Soap seemes to be the popular choice with beauty bloggers. The pure white soap offers relief from acne, and promises whiter lighter brighter skin. We recommend giving snail slime a go-to slow ageing to a snail’s pace.

Our favourite Beauty tool for 2019: The Jade Roller
Whilst not strictly only from Thailand, jade rollers are traditionally used by many massage therapists and more recently by Beauty bloggers to aid and enhance the anti wrinkle effects of facials. They increase circulation and blood flow to the face, aiding the smoothing of fine lines and wrinkles. It is also claimed that a Jade roller can reduce inflammation and puffiness due to a slow lymphatic system.ç
Simply roll over your face in a singular (not back and forward ) upward motion to redistribute the lymphatic fluid and aid drainage. Repeat three or four times for maximum effect twice a day.
