Skincare in Reykjavik
Natural skincare for Reykjavik
Reykjavik has Europe's most extreme climate – relentless wind, volcanic air, darkness, and cold test your skin every single day. Free shipping over €60.
What Reykjavik does to your skin
Iceland's capital faces weather no other European city experiences. The wind is constant and often violent – average wind speeds are among the highest in Europe. Volcanic activity adds sulfur and fine particles to the air, and geothermal energy means the water often smells of sulfur.
Winters are dark but not as cold as you might think – the Gulf Stream keeps temperatures around zero. But the wind makes it feel much colder, and the constant blowing strips moisture from the skin more effectively than pure cold. Iceland's water is extremely soft and clean, but the geothermal heating creates a unique indoor environment.
Skincare tips for Reykjavik residents
Wind-proof your face always
Iceland's wind is your skin's worst enemy. A rich oil as a barrier before going out is mandatory – year-round.
Use the geothermal pools
The Blue Lagoon and local hot pots provide minerals like silica and sulfur that can benefit the skin. Moisturize afterward.
Vitamin D all winter
Reykjavik has extremely short daylight from November to February. Vitamin D supplements are absolutely essential.
Eat Icelandic skyr and fish
Skyr provides probiotics, and Icelandic fish is among the purest in the world. Omega-3s in every meal.
Apply oil before sleep
Nighttime is when your skin repairs itself – give it the best conditions with a rich evening routine.
