Hi @monicakm!. I love your posts ! Would you mind sharing the products that you use to "flood"? I'm 58 years old and my skin is in need of hydration badly.
Thanks so much in advance!

Thank you @kimbobimbo I don't mind at all. I hate that feeling of a dry, dehydrated complexion, not to mention your makeup looks horrible.
I've been doing this for years (there just wasn't a name for it). I will post the product's photos for you. The two I've been using for years are the first two. I like "milky" essences because they're more moisturizing.
Some of these products show using a cotton pad/round to apply. I do NOT do this. It's a waste of product. More product gets left behind on the cotton round than on your face.

In case it is an animal cruelty thing with these snails, no harm comes to snails when when harvested for their mucin. Mad and scared snails do not produce mucin so they are kept happy.
As for application of the snail mucin, I normally put it on before moisturizer. Moisturizer and oil on my last two steps. However, I have read that snail snot goes on first but also know that Essences go on first.
I am confused about this one.
Hi, Moni,hope you are feeling good. Nope, not a cruelty thing, I just like putting things on my face and body that are plant based, I like the idea of a more vegan product than things coming from animals,

@monicakm Since you use the snail mucin, maybe you can tell me how one keeps a snail happy.

I wish I could remember the YouTube video I watched. From what I recall they are in a dark cool environment. They crawl along a wire mesh and their secretion is collected below. According to this video, they do not secrete mucin when they're unhappy.

Thank you so much @monicakm! This is so helpful! Also, sorry for the late acknowledgment - for some reason I've been having difficulty signing into my account and finally got in after talking with customer service.
