Blue Lagoon Silica Mud Mask - A purifying face mask that deep-cleanses and strengthens skin - 75ml

Product Information

First, there actually is a Blue Lagoon in Iceland. And it does indeed have white mud that has curative and skin healing properties. Apparently, when the geothermal sea water cools, it becomes supersaturated with silicon and long chains of silicon molecules are formed that eventually precipitate out of the water and form the white mud. The Blue Lagoon also has a unique algae. Research has shown that bathing in the Blue Lagoon and rubbing the silica mud into lesions has positive effects on psoriasis.

The Blue Lagoon (Bláa lónið in Icelandic) is approximately 13 km from Keflavik International Airport and 39 km from Reykjavík. That’s about a 20-minute drive from the airport and a 45-minute drive from Reykjavík.It makes sense to plan a visit to the Blue Lagoon en-route to or from the airport and many visitors choose this option. A visit can also be easy as a day trip from Reykjavík, or as part of aGolden Circleday tour. The mask arrives as a frozen tablet which you dip in the water, and as it melts, you spread the gel over your skin. I couldn’t leave the mask on for too long as the icy breeze whipping around the lagoon gave me ‘face freeze’. My skin felt good afterwards, though! The Blue Lagoon, Iceland

A waterproof phone case with a strap is an absolute must if you plan on taking pictures inside the Blue Lagoon. I honestly can’t even imagine how many phones they scrape out of there. (That link is the one I use and I love it.) Blue Lagoon Iceland Silica Mud Mask is pure white, which seemed surprising for a mud mask (although having honeymooned in Iceland I can tell you that mud and minerals come in very weird colors indeed). The mask comes in a tube and the white cream is easy to smooth over the skin. Be warned though, when it dries you will look like Casper and frighten small children. After leaving on for 10 minutes and rinsing off, my skin looked very clear and felt super soft.When you’re in the water the swirling steam envelops you, giving everything an ethereal, dreamlike quality. The people nearby are barely visible in the mists, and their laughter and voices are strangely muted. Surprisingly, I loved the Blue Lagoon experience, which left me feeling incredibly relaxed and my skin super-soft. I could have stayed a lot longer than I did.

The Blue Lagoon is part of the Reykjanes UNESCO Geopark. If you’re driving yourself, getting to the Blue Lagoon is easy. As you travel along the main highway between Keflavík and Reykjavík, make a turn at the“Blue Lagoon” sign. The Blue Lagoon is around 10 km/6.5 miles down this road. On arrival there’s free parking available right outside the reception and gift shop. Let me repeat: I had no feeling in my finger for three months. However, after my three hours in the lagoon, all feeling was immediately restored and has been 100% ever since. So, consider me a believer. I spent around three hours there, including an excellent lunch in the Lava Restaurant. There are several places to eat at the Blue Lagoon, including the Moss Restaurant and the Retreat Spa Restaurant which is a good opportunity to enjoy some excellent Icelandic cuisine.

The Blue Lagoon in Iceland is still a seriously fun, relaxing, and interesting cultural experience out in a less-populated area of Iceland. “Touristy” or not, it’s absolutely worth visiting the Blue Lagoon in Iceland. So get those haters out of your head already! (My advice for today and always.) Travelbunny tip: If you go through the Lava Restaurant and up the stairs to the right, you’ll come to a large balcony outdoors. The panoramic views over the lagoon are great for photos, especially at sunset or sunrise. This would also be a good spot to watch the Northern Lights if they appear. Can you see the Northern Lights at the Blue Lagoon? The Blue Lagoon at night will be less crowded than during the day (though, again, it never feels uncomfortably crowded even then) and with fewer kids in their floaties. So if you’re looking for a truly relaxing experience to just unwind, maybe visiting the Blue Lagoon in Iceland at night is for you.
