Skyn Iceland Gives Back

I know we've already blogged about some fantastic products that give back to some wonderful organizations helping in the fight against breast cancer, but wanted to be sure and include this one, as well.  Fabulous skincare brand, Skyn Iceland, has a limited edition Pink Detox Kit which contains 4 of their fave products in one bag, and if you purchase during the month of October $5.00 goes directly to Cancer Support Community which you can read more about here.  Skyn Iceland has supported this effort for 7 years now and I, for one, love that they give to such a wonderful organization.  Check out the kit online and be happy knowing your skin will look amazing and you'll be supporting the fight against breast cancer.

Glacial Cleansing Cloths

 

Sometimes I'm too damn tired to wash my face at night (go ahead, judge me), so I've been on a hunt trying out a bunch of different cleansing cloths.  Unfortunately, most don't wash my face well enough and properly remove all the makeup.  That is, until now!  I have finally found the HG of cleansing cloths and while they are spectacular, they are pricier than the inferior drugstore brands.  Glacial Cleansing Cloths by Skyn Iceland are absolutely amazing and definitely what all cleansing cloths should aspire to be.  They have a fresh scent (kind of reminds of me of the discontinued Fresh Waterfall Mist by BBW), are incredibly soft and gentle on the skin, and best of all - remove eyeliner with minimal effort.  I love that they don't dry out my skin like most alcohol-based wipes and they don't irritate my skin.  Only slight drawback is they cost $15.00 for 30 cloths, but I'm telling you they are definitely worth the expense (I've dropped much more testing out all the drugstore brands).  They are my absolute go-to for tired or drunken night face-washings.  Send me a comment if you have any other faves I should check out.

Who Knew I Would Want Cloud On My Face?

During college, I realized more times than not my face was bright red. I, honestly, assumed it was either 1. That adorable guy smiled at me in Chemistry and I just couldn’t control myself, 2. I danced way too hard on the table in that crowded bar or 3. I was in a perpetual state of either drunkenness or sunburn-ness (yes, I am fully aware that’s not a real word). Anyway, years later, and thousands of dollars in products, I have come to the very intelligent conclusion that I have sensitive skin. (Wow, I’m a genius) Being that I have very dry, sensitive skin, I rely on a thick moisturizer and a gentle scrub. I had never tried anything by Skyn Iceland which, honestly, was stupid on my part because the entire line is made for people like me. (Not the drunken me, the sensitive skin me).  I tried the Pure Cloud Cream which can hurt the wallet ($75.00 – yikes!), but it turned out to be highly moisturizing and incredibly soothing to my delicate skin. Apparently the cream is great for people who are experiencing some dryness and sensitivity, whether it’s genetic or just laser, peel or weather induced. From the moment I opened the container, I was inhaling the sweetest smelling cream (smells exactly like a creamsicle) and was impressed at how thick and creamy it was. It contains Oat Extract and Aloe to help soothe dry, tight skin and Almond Oil to really moisturize. I was especially stunned at how my skin no longer felt tight even after only a few days of use. The cream sinks in immediately, but doesn’t contain any SPF so you’ll have to combine it with some sun protection. All in all, I’m super happy with Pure Cloud Cream and am definitely making a trip to the mall to check out other items in their line. I am also going to see a travel agent to discuss my newfound passion to visit Iceland. Oh, and I’m cutting back on table-dancing because, well, it never leads to anything good.
