Celebrities are known to try the weirdest of things when it comes to their skin and hair. But this K-Beauty product that has Bollywood star Palak Tiwari and supermodel Emily Ratajkowski’s hearts, is actually an internet favourite.
The effective hero ingredient has truly gone viral on the internet and it is the secret to attaining glass skin. You need to know all about it. Read on!
Palak Tiwari & Emily Ratajkowski’s K-Beauty Obsession
The product that Palak Tiwari and Emily Ratajkowski love using in their skincare routine is snail mucin. And yes, it’s an ingredient that is derived from actual snail slime. But this skincare product actually works and is not as gross as it sounds. Snail mucin is popular in the Korean Beauty industry and among skincare geeks because it has a myriad of skincare benefits. And both Palak and Emily like to use it differently too.
How Palak Tiwari Applies Snail Mucin
Palak says she loves using this K-beauty ingredient at night before moisturising. In an interview, she said, “I use hyaluronic acid if my skin is feeling dry or a copper peptides serum followed by a moisturiser. I also like using snail mucin followed by a moisturiser to just lock the serum in and allow the skin to absorb the ingredients.”
The slimy snail mucin offers a layer of hydration that will ensure your skin doesn’t get too dry from using any active ingredients. Palak didn’t reveal the exact snail mucin product she uses but the Beauty of Joseon Revive Serum: Ginseng + Snail Mucin is a great pick and one of my personal favourites.
How Emily Ratajkowski Applies Snail Mucin
The supermodel also swears by this K-Beauty ingredient and she even revealed the exact product she used. While speaking about her skincare routine in her Instagram stories, Emily applied her retinol (a powerful active ingredient that can be drying) after using snail mucin so that her skin doesn’t experience any loss of moisture or dryness and irritation. That’s a brilliant way of using snail mucin. The exact snail product she showed off in the video was the COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence which is a viral product with a cult following.
Benefits Of Snail Mucin For Skin
- Snail mucin has a slimy-gel consistency that is very easily absorbed by the skin.
- It hydrates the skin barrier while leaving a glowy sheen on the skin.
- Snail mucin can heal wounds and therefore it is a boon for acne prone skin.
- It is deeply moisturising and fights signs of ageing such as wrinkles and fine lines.
- Dry skin will love snail mucin because it is extremely soothing and plumping.
- Snail mucin promotes collagen production and skin cell regeneration.
Snail mucin is one of the best K-beauty skincare ingredients in the market right now and judging by Palak Tiwari’s and Emily Ratajkowski’s glow, it is a hero product that you must try.
