Feel the Beauty of Cool Relaxation with skyn ICELAND

2012_skyn_brand_hires

New York may be a glamorous place, but when you’ve worked all day and stayed out all night, it can leave you stressed and exhausted. Stress doesn’t just complicate your life, it also does a number on your skin. When stress becomes chronic, hormone levels remain elevated triggering a combination of symptoms effecting your skin including unwanted irritation and inflammation. Stressed skin is often deprived of oxygen and the vital nutrients it needs for immune functions and healing. This can result in excess oil, breakouts, dehydration, and even premature aging. In Icelandic language, “skyn” means “senses,” reinforcing the direct link between the senses and skin.

skyn ICELAND is the first line of skin care designed to combat the physiological effects of stress on skin. It provides both instant relief from everyday stress and immense long-term benefits giving you mini spa treatments in between coveted spa days. Each formula contains skin-boosting actives and technologically advanced ingredients that help lessen physical and emotional stress. All skyn ICELAND products can be used in conjunction with your current skin care regimen for both internal and external stress relief. Each product is formulated with the biospheric complex that delivers the ultimate stress relief cocktail formulated from the basic elements of Water, Earth, and Air.

I Recommend:

Hydro Cool Firming Eye Gels: After a long day or before an early morning, I love placing these cool gels under my eyes for instant relief from puffiness. The cool sensation from the gels, helps relieve mental stress.

Glacial Cleansing Cloths: skyn ICELAND’s cleansing cloths are perfect for cleansing and detoxifying stressed skin on-the-go. Infused with natural extracts and Icelandic glacial waters, they purify skin by removing dirt and makeup without water.

The ANTIDOTE Cooling Daily Lotion: The cooling lotion is best for combating premature aging by detoxifying and stabilizing skin with a cooling burst.

Arctic Face Mist: The face mist can be used in the place of toner and contains a natural preservative system that cools irritated skin and can help set makeup. Like the Cooling Daily Lotion, it also feels amazing on contact.

Top Secret Beauty: Mario Badescu Drying Lotion

Beauty-Secret

Having suffered from acne-prone skin from an early age, I’ve long been passionate about skincare and finding quality products that actually work. In my lifetime, I must have tried every over-the-counter product imaginable. Most either irritated my skin even more or did nothing leaving me unhappy and insecure. It wasn’t until I visited a dermatologist and was prescribed the prescription topical cream, Retin-A Micro, along with an oral medication that I finally gained the confidence that comes with clear skin. I’ve sworn by prescription skin treatments ever since using the proper precautions such as applying heavy amounts of sunscreen when spending long periods of time in the sun as prescription products cause your skin to be far more sensitive to the sun exposure.

Thought I still use skincare prescription treatments daily, I recently found a non-prescription product that I absolutely love. Mario Badescu Drying Lotion, available through Mario Badescu directly and in the beauty departments of retailers such as Nordstrom and Lord & Taylor, literally erases blemishes overnight. After more than a decade of not trusting any skincare product that doesn’t come from a doctor, I didn’t believe it until I tried it. But, when I did, it was magic! To apply, you just drop a q-tip into the pink sediment, dab it on the pimple, and let dry overnight. Your instinct will be to shake the solution, but don’t shake it. When you wash it off in the morning, the blemish is either gone or significantly smaller. If only I’d discovered this miracle solution earlier.
