About this deal
The high levels of minerals in the geothermal waters of the Blue Lagoon do have the potential to damage your jewelry. I’m not sure how much damage can be done since I haven’t really worn any in there, but I will say that nothing at all has happened to my silver belly button ring on any of my visits.
Of all the Blue Lagoon tips I have to dole out, this one is the most important, obviously. The minerals in the water make it great for your skin but a nightmare for your hair. 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.) 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. It has to be said that the Blue Lagoon experience is quite expensive and it will certainly make a dent in your budget. But I really enjoyed my visit to one of Iceland’s most popular tourist attractions, and it’s undoubtedly a must-do when you’re visiting Reykjavik – an unforgettable experience. 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.But, Iceland’s Blue Lagoon is also beautiful and interesting, totally unique, easy to get to, and possibly the best damn time you’ll have this close to the Arctic Circle. 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. What is so special about the Blue Lagoon in Iceland? There is a sauna, steam bath and massaging waterfall hewn out of the lava, while strangely translucent turquoise water surrounds everything.
The point of showering (completely naked) before entering the lagoon is to make sure all your dirty little bits get clean before heading into what is essentially a giant communal tub. The lagoon is huge and the water is hot, but aren’t you glad all the bodies that are in there have been scrubbed clean first? I am! Therefore, I am happy to do my part for the sake of hygiene.There are also huge vats of silica mud dotted around the lagoon, and you can smear big handfuls of gloopy mud onto your skin. The high silica content in the mud is said to be beneficial for various skin conditions like psoriasis and eczema.
