India, Oct. 14 -- G lass-like skin remains the buzziest trend in the beauty sphere, thanks to the influx of Korean skincare, or K-beauty, products. The most popular is snail mucin (also called snail secretion filtrate), a staple in Korean beauty routines, appearing in serums, creams, masks, and even cleansers. But why has this slimy substance become a skincare go-to? Snail mucin is said to target various skin concerns, including hydration, anti-ageing, brightening, skin repair, and healing. Beauty enthusiasts love it because it delivers visible results without irritation, making it suitable even for sensitive skin. Snail mucin layers well with ingredients such as niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, and peptides. If you're using strong exfoliants or retinoids, it's best to apply snail mucin after to soothe the skin. The best part is that snail mucin is suitable for all skin types. Unless you have a rare allergy, mucin is a perfectly safe and effective addition to your skincare routine. However, it is recommended that you consult a dermatologist before hopping on the bandwagon....
