                <media:description>Snails are seen at Louis-Marie Guedon&apos;s snail farm in Champagnolles, in the west-central region of Charente-Maritime, on April 9, 2013. Guedon has developed a technique for harvesting the slime and plans to turn it into an industrial-scale snail mucus extraction system to harvest 15 tonnes of the ugh-factor ingredient next year. Louis-Marie Guedon says the mucus secreted by snails are full of collagen, glycolic acid, antibiotics and other compounds that regenerate skin cells and heal cuts. Guedon believes it could presage a cosmetic revolution and has developed a secret technique to harvest the slime. He sells 25 million baby snails a year to snail farmers in France and abroad from a breeding stock of 650,000 garden snails known by their scientific names, Helix Aspersa Minima and Helix Aspersa Maxima.AFP PHOTO / XAVIER LEOTY        (Photo credit should read Leoty Xavier/AFP/Getty Images)</media:description>
