The Reykjavík Grapevine Best of Reykjavík 2018 40 Skólavörðustígur 19 tel (+354) 552 1890 Borgartún 31 tel (+354) 552 1980 BUY DIRECTLY FROM THE PEOPLE WHO MAKE THEM “Icelandic women, without exaggeration, swear by it.” SHOPPING GUIDE Lotions And Potions There’s a reason Icelanders are known for their beauty Words: Hannah Jane Cohen With the unpredictable weather and harsh conditions of Iceland, it’s no wonder the women here have had to get creative to save their skin. With a rich beauty history of using unusual in- gredients like barley, lanolin, seaweed, and silica, Icelandic skincare brands serve up in- tensely hydrating products strong enough to withstand the harshest wind, rain, or hail. So if you want to get pretty while you’re here, these are the products to add to your arsenal. Bioeffect EGL Day Serum Bioeffect is the crème de la crème of Icelandic skincare and this day serum is their holy grail. Icelandic women— without exaggera- tion—swear by it. Derived from bar- ley seeds grown in Icelandic green- houses, this se- rum mimics facial proteins to thicken skin and target dry spots, fine lines, sun damage, and wrinkles. For skincare junk- ies: Don’t worry, the epidermal growth factor here is man-made, not human-derived, so it’s safe for everyone. Taramar Purifying Treatment Dr. Guðrún Marteinsdóttir, a professor at the University of Iceland, started Taramar to cre- ate high-quality skincare prod- ucts with natural Icelandic ingre- dients. While all her products are sublime, this pu- rifying treatment is a particular god- send for dehydrated s k i n . Made with Icelandic kelp, sea- weed and Vitamin E, the oily blend will firm your skin and re- plenish it back to its bright and radiant true self. Blue Lagoon Silica Mud Mask Mud: That blissful non-comedogen- ic substance put on Earth by God to make every skin type soft and glowy. Take that, add a touch of collagen-boosting al- gae straight from the depths of geother- mal silica, and you’ve got Blue Lagoon’s stellar Silica Mud Mask. The product is a stan- dard in the routine of Ice- landic women and for good reason. It’s good for all types of skin, from oily to sensi- tive to even rosacea prone, and has that rare quality of being gentle yet intense. The mask is undeniably potent, feel- ing more akin to a chemical peel versus your average Aztec Secret or Bioré charcoal, but it leaves your skin butter soft and blemish free. Note: While it is good for all skin types, their Algae Mask would be a better choice for ma- ture skin. Dr Bragi Age Management Moisturiser No parabens. No lipids. No lanolin. No silicons. Dr Bra- gi’s products are totally free of potential hazards, instead, using active Icelandic marine enzymes with plumping hyal- uronic acid to reduce ageing and prevent the breakdown of collagen. Grab one of these moistur- isers if you want to brighten your complexion and destroy dark circles much faster than your average Vita- min C serum. Take that, time. ANGAN Bath Salts ANGAN is all about sustainabil- ity and bringing old Icelandic skincare remedies into the mod- ern age. Their line of bath salts, which are made from Icelandic sea salt, is a particular stand- out. The three prod- ucts contain blends with birch, thyme, and seaweed—all locally sourced. Add a handful to a bath and drift off into the past. Except, uh, one where they have indoor plumbing. Join us for a fun introduction to Icelandic crime fiction, ghosts and ghouls. www.borgarbokasafn.is Tel. 411 6100 THURSDAYS AT 3 PM in June, July and August.
