4-How to store natural products containing snail slime?
Store products away from heat and light sources. In summer, with temperatures above 30 degrees for several days, it is advisable to store them in the refrigerator.
5 - Why did I receive products with a different color compared to the previous purchase?
When a cosmetic is totally natural, without preservatives or chemical stabilizers, normal variations in color, fragrance or consistency may occur. In summer, the products may be more liquid due to the initially less solid raw materials treated. The snail slime itself varies seasonally, however, the effectiveness remains constant.
6 - Is it normal for the face to become red after applying snail slime?
Redness reactions can be caused by the disinfectant action of snail slime, which acts against impurities. This is normal and beneficial. Lumari products are suitable for sensitive skin. The glycolic acid present can create an exfoliating action. It is advisable to gradually adapt the products to your skin and to consult the INCI of the products if you have any personal allergies.

Snail slime is a powerful natural regenerator of the epidermis. Consistency in application is required (twice a day). After approximately 60 days, significant improvements can be seen. True results will come over time, so it is important to be patient and monitor progress with photographs at the beginning of treatment.
8- Snail Slime and Summer: What to Do?
Many people wonder if it is correct to use snail slime during the summer. Let's start from a certainty: there is no better aftersun than snail slime. This precious natural ingredient counteracts the damage of free radicals released during sun exposure and, moreover, soothes and renews the skin thanks to the presence of a particular nourishing and regenerating substance: allantoin.
Hydration, during the summer, hydration is essential for skin care. If you have sensitive skin, 100% natural snail slime will act delicately on your face, without irritating the skin. However, don't forget to hydrate yourself by drinking water too. Hydration from within is essential to keep your skin healthy and glowing.
The summer heat can put our skin to the test. In this case, snail slime is perfect: it is not greasy and leaves the skin smooth and soft. Our products have a delicate but highly effective texture. To apply snail slime, just a very small amount of product on the face.
9- Practical Advice
Here are some tips that will make your snail slime experience even better:
Evening application: Use snail slime liberally in the evening. In the morning, we recommend using less product and possibly adding sunscreen before exposure to the sun, especially on a beach day.
Glycolic acid: Snail slime contains glycolic acid in very small quantities. This does not cause any problems, unlike products with glycolic acid added in large quantities in the laboratory. The snail itself would not survive the summer if there was a problem.
10- Delivery problems:
If your serum seems to be having trouble dispensing, it may be due to small blockages in the dispenser straw. Click the dispenser several times, keeping the little hole where the product comes out plugged. The pressure should completely unblock the straw.
11- Apply the products by dabbing rather than spreading them
using the pads of your fingers. Absorption will be greater and faster, especially with serum.
Wait a few more minutes between applying the serum and cream.
Remember that snail slime is a powerful ally for your skin, but requires consistency in application. With patience and care, you will get amazing results over time!
