It’s that time of year when the temperature drops and the radiators go on, which means very dry air. I end up with patches of cold-induced eczema and doing a lot of research on slugging. My dry-air solution is packing in the moisture at every step of my skin-care routine. This season, I’m reaching for CosRx’s snail-mucin essence — an extremely popular and very effective serum (it has starred in Rio Viera-Newton’s viral Google doc for six years and counting) that is made from snail secretions (a.k.a. snail slime) — which is a dermatologist and skin-care-obsessive favorite. We’ve been talking about the snail-mucin essence for a few years; it contains hyaluronic acid, snail mucin, and panthenol, which has healing, brightening, and moisturizing properties. Part of the essence’s appeal is the already affordable price — a full-size bottle is $25 — but it’s currently $13, nearly half off. That makes it a good time to stock up, and if you need a last-minute gift, it’ll get here before Christmas.
