Gives new meaning to “skin crawling.”

An employee gives a medical-cosmetic massage to a client using an African snail at a beauty salon in Russia’s Siberian city of Krasnoyarsk March 23, 2012. The beauty salon is the only one in the region using the snails’ method, which is believed to help in speeding up regeneration of the skin, eliminating wrinkles, scars and traces of burn marks, according to the owner Alyona Zlotnikova.
