Slimy Solution

Do you worry that a few wrinkles here and there might forever ruin your chances of a happy life?  Never fear, Damien Desrocher is hard at work with the perfect solution.

He’s been raising snails, yes snails, in order to milk their “gastropod fluid.”  If that sounds slimy, rest assured that it is.  But it’s that very goop which keep crow’s feet at bay.  It contains “molecules of collagen and elastin,” two known anti-aging substances.

So how does one milk a snail?  No need for a bucket.  Simply tickle the bugger with one finger, and some mucus will appear.  Keep at it until two grams are obtained.  Then move on to the next wiggler. Pretty soon you’ll have enough for one bar of time-defeating soap, approximately 80 grams' worth. Then sit back and let the years fade away.
