Recently I was asked to do a post on the various Serums available on the market for women trying to hold on for dear life to their precious youth. The old saying is prevention is the best cure. Well, women and even men have to pay a very high price for the “prevention”. The prices for these face serums are ridiculous, and so are the ingredients. Some are literally deer placenta in a bottle, and they STINK to high heaven! Recently, I read an article talking about the latest beauty trends Companies are getting crazier with the ingredients; adding venom and snail slime to their skin care products! Skin care lines such as Sonya Dakar, Borba, and Planet Skin care have added an ingredient called syn-ake to their products. It’s snake venom that relaxes the muscles in your face similar to Botox. The venom has the ability to remove deep expression lines in the face while smoothing skin. Oh, let’s not forget the snail slime or the scientific term Helix Aspersa Muller Glycoconjugates. The Asian markets are going crazy over it. The Snail slime is said to prevent damage from the sun UV rays to the skin. It’s available in lotions, toners, and face creams. Yep, this is what you got to look forward girls, when you reach your 30’s and above. The everlasting hunt for that one skin tonic that won’t squeeze your pockets or make you want to hurl! Good luck ladies, at least we have comfort knowing that the place under the sink packed with product helps us grow wiser and stronger.
