The slimy secret of eternal youth: Japanese salon launches anti-ageing beauty treatment that involves letting live SNAILS crawl across your face

They have long been regarded as a nuisance in the garden but it seems that snails could be more friend than foe when it comes to anti-ageing.

A revolutionary new facial that involves allowing live snails to slither across the complexion has been hailed the next big thing in beauty thanks to the glow-boosting properties of snail mucus.

I could use a hug from a snake. All they ask of you is a higher body temperature than theirs ...

Yup.

[and yummy, yummy ratsicles]

I get muscle spasms in my left shoulder and *nothing* beats letting a smallish Boa ride around on your neck for a while to fix that.

:)

Odds are it’s no more ‘beautifying’ than slapping egg whites on wrinkles.

When egg whites dry, they ‘tighten’ making the wrinkles less visible.

It doesn’t make them go away, however.

Snail slime dries like that, too.

I think this is a marketing ploy for absolute suckers.

I *have* fallen asleep with a snake on me several times.

They’re *so* relaxing you can’t help it.

The downside is that your snake might hop off and go a’slithering while you’re zonked out.

[and we all know well that works out]

;D

Well, good for him! He’s spent the last year and a half raising his and Harriet’s hundreds of children. It’s about time he got a real job. [smiles]

Uncritical affection is very relaxing. I have a cat for that. If I let him lie on my stomach and drool, everything is good.

Not if you get to take them home and saute them. After a day of purging, of course.

Even though he works in a beauty salon, he’s still quite butch.

They’re plotting with the dogs, you know.

The snakes pin you down so you can’t get up, and Odhinn and the rest of the game secretly log on to FR to correspond with the other Freeper Dogs in order to plot to oust the Viking Kitties on FR and become the new Free Republic mascots.

Nip it in the bud while you have a chance. :)

” correspond with the other Freeper Dogs in order to plot to oust the Viking Kitties on FR and become the new Free Republic mascots.”

Should’ve been done a long time ago, IMO.

Yeah.

And if you get snot on your lip and it dries, you can feel your skin become more ‘taught’. too.

Oy.

Much as I’d enjoy a canine mascot, there are some who’d strongly take umbrage to that.

Odhinn vs. the Viking Kitties.

You didn’t hear it from me. :)

Rumor has it that this sign is posted at the edge of Sal's property:

My money's on the doberman. :)
