When stress is unrelenting, your body’s hormones and chemical levels can spike, adversely affecting the skin and how it functions. Oil production increases. Histamines trigger itchiness and inflammation. Water, oxygen and nutrients are drawn away from the skyn, depriving it of the vital elements it needs to thrive. When skin is starved in this way, its natural immune function is impaired, so it’s less able to heal itself. It becomes irritable, dull, clogged, prematurely wrinkled, prone to breakouts, itchy and flaky—skin on the edge.

Skyn ICELAND is the first skincare line specifically formulated to counteract and treat the detrimental effects of chronic stress on skin. Since stressed skin is damaged skin, what it needs most is to be soothed, healed and replenished to regain its natural health and radiance. In Iceland’s pure, untouched environment we discovered new beneficial botanicals and pristine glacial waters which helped us create the perfect antidote for stressed skin.
