For many, the main image that comes to mind when thinking of Iceland is the ethereal Blue Lagoon with its expansive turquoise pools and steamy vistas. Over a million annual visitors—locals and tourists alike—flock to the iconic geothermal spa to soak in its nourishing, mineral-rich water and slather themselves in a mud mask formed directly from the silica-rich lagoon.
For those of us who can’t travel to Iceland for a therapeutic dip, the Blue Lagoon Skincare collection, developed at a state-of-the-art research center on the banks of the lagoon, makes it possible to take advantage of the powerful bioactive ingredients unique to the water at home.
The lagoon’s skin-healing benefits were discovered in the mid-1980s when local bathers noticed that the warm water wasn’t just a relaxing reprieve from the chilly air; it also made their skin noticeably softer, clearer, and less irritated. This discovery prompted years of scientific research, and, in 1993, an on-site clinic was established to study possible uses for the water. This ultimately led to the launch of Blue Lagoon Skincare in 1995.
Since then, the brand has continued to innovate. For example, BL+ The Cream, the hero of Blue Lagoon Skincare’s newest line, BL+ (available at Neiman Marcus), has much more to offer than a feel-good texture and instant hydration (though both are important characteristics in a moisturizer). The fragrance-free cream is formulated with Blue Lagoon Skincare’s patented BL+ Complex, a nutrient-dense blend of microalgae, silica, and minerals from the lagoon’s sought-after water. The one-of-a-kind formulation helps strengthen the skin barrier and stimulate collagen synthesis by reaching the very deepest layer of the epidermis. At the same time, it helps prevent existing collagen from breaking down. Slathering it on is like giving your skin a big drink of supercharged water.
Along with the BL+ Complex, the formula contains niacinamide to improve tone and texture, ceramides to moisturize and smooth, and squalene to lock in hydration. The result is skin that looks firm, plump, generously moisturized, and remarkably luminous. Prepare for compliments, pressing requests for your skincare secrets, and the sudden urge to book a last-minute flight to Reykjavik.
Naturally, The Cream pairs well with BL+ The Serum, a silky, lightweight treatment that stars the BL+ Complex. Additionally, it’s formulated with a trio of plumping hyaluronic acids plus antioxidant-rich vitamin C to promote stronger, firmer, and deeply hydrated skin. At night, opt for the BL+ Retinol Cream .3%. It contains the BL+ Complex alongside retinoids, which are proven to boost skin cell turnover, increase collagen production, and refine skin texture. Rounding out the collection is the BL+ Eye Serum, conveniently designed with a cooling rollerball applicator. In addition to the proprietary complex, vitamin C, and the trio of hyaluronic acids, it has licorice root and caffeine to de-puff and reduce the appearance of fine lines.
With this collection in your medicine cabinet, a wellness retreat for your skin is just steps away.
