Put a little bit of snail mucin into your:
- skin moisturizers
- hair leave-ins (this is mainly for afro-naturals who use daily moisturizers on their hair)
- anything of a cream or lotion-like texture that you use to hydrate skin or hair.
I don't use a lot of snail mucin solo. I got a bottle of a good brand for Christmas and I have some face masks using mucin. I'm not crazy about the texture, but I have to admit that it is very hydrating.
Since I will not let a gift go to waste, I needed to use this stuff. So happens I also have a jar of face cream that I cannot return. It's an okay cream but I find that it doesn't do a good job moisturizing my face. So... I doctored it with a few drops of that disgusting mucin. Child.
That mucin was the best thing to happen to the face cream. It really boosted it to max levels. And you know me, I had to see what else I could doctor.
I have now been adding the mucin to every hair moisturizing cream I have. I find that all of my leave-in products are so much better.
A couple of warnings:
- You might not want to add this to anything that is meant to be watery-textured.
- I make sure to test everything before I end up ruining whole bottles of products.
- The mucin does transfer the "slimy" texture to some products.
Of course, I'm no chemist or pro of any kind so... do your own testing and take your own chances. I'm just telling you that I've loved doctoring some products. I actually have managed to use that whole bottle of mucin instead of letting it go to waste. I also am glad that I've been able to "boost up" some products that were not working out solo.
I think what I like most about this tip is that the mucin doesn't create any more buildup on my hair when I add it to products.
Another bonus is that, while I like the mucin face masks (kind of), I am able to use the "juice" remaining in the containers. I either save them in a bottle for later or add them right away to another product.
Remember - do your own testing and research.
