КОЖА И СТРЕСС
Стресс не только негативно влияет на нас изнутри, но и неизбежно отражается на внешности. Реагируя на стресс, гормоны кортизол, адреналин и гистамин выбрасываются в кровь, нанося серьезный ущерб состоянию кожи. Недавние исследования психодерматологии подтверждают, что состояние хронического стресса и, как следствие, постоянно повышенный уровень гормонов приводят к возникновению ряда неприятных симптомов, включая раздражение и воспаление кожи. Кроме того, кожа теряет влагу, кислород и жизненно важные питательные вещества. В результате ухудшается ее состояние, нарушается ее естественная иммунная функция, и кожа теряет способность к восстановлению. Такая цепная реакция вызывает излишнюю жирность кожи, появление угревой сыпи, обезвоживание и раздражение кожи. Все это ведет к преждевременному старению кожи.
ИСЛАНДИЯ
Skyn ICELAND® – это бренд, использующий уникальные чистейшие ингредиенты Исландии. Благодаря использованию самых мощных природных компонентов в сочетании с применением инновационных технологий ухода за кожей, skyn ICELAND® создает действенные средства для оздоровления и возвращения свежести коже, подвергающейся хроническому воздействию стресса.
Задача Skyn ICELAND – создание полезных для кожи средств с высоким содержанием активных натуральных ингредиентов. Стресс ослабляет иммунную систему, поэтому для средств марки отбираются самые мощные природные компоненты. В результате удалось создать линию продуктов для оздоровления кожи, не содержащих тех многих агрессивных химических веществ и консервантов, обычно входящих в состав косметических средств. Среди нетронутой природы Исландии есть особые растения и чистейшая исландская вода, на основе которых созданы эти великолепные средства для ухода и защиты ослабленной стрессом кожи.
ЧИСТЫЕ ИНГРЕДИЕНТЫ
“Icelandic Complex/Исландский Комплекс” на основе которого разработаны все средства skyn ICELAND® для ухода за ослабленной стрессом кожей, включает следующие компоненты из Исландии:
• чистейшая ледниковая вода
• мощные антиоксиданты
• мощные противовоспалительные компоненты
• увлажняющие и успокаивающие кожу компоненты • целебные травы
• очищающие экстракты
Когда речь идет о продуктах для ухода за кожей, иногда отсутствие в составе определенных ингредиентов не менее важно, чем продукты, входящие в состав. В продуктах НЕ СОДЕРЖАТСЯ:
• парабены
• химические сульфаты • фталаты
• минеральные масла
• петролатум
• формальдегид
• парафин
ПРОТЕСТИРОВАНО НА АЛЛЕРГИЧЕСКИЕ РЕАКЦИИ
Поскольку стресс может вызывать покраснение, раздражение и воспаление кожи, все продукты skyn ICELAND протестированы на аллергические реакции и чувствительность кожи с участием добровольцев с чувствительной кожей, и оказывают мягкое действие даже на самую чувствительную кожу.
НЕ ТЕСТИРОВАНО НА ЖИВОТНЫХ
Сертификат PETA (Международная организация «Люди за этичное отношение к животным») подтверждает, что компания Skyn ICELAND® не тестирует свои продукты на животных и не одобряет жестокого обращения с животными.
Компания Skyn ICELAND® выпускает на 100% вегетарианскую и веганскую косметику – средства марки не содержат ингредиентов животного происхождения.

Stress – we all feel it sometimes. Lately, it seems everyone I know; my friends, my family, my boss, is in a permanent state of stressed out. When I sit back and really look at things, I realize just how great my life is -those friends, family and boss are amazing people, I’m healthy, employed and I just launched a website of which I’m very proud (hint: that would be wht). Still, I easily fall into the traps of life, both big and small; worrying about bills, work, running wht, how to answer all those emails and lamenting the fact I have nothing clever to say on my facebook status line.
Giving in to these anxieties used to mean I had to add pimples and frown lines to my list of worries. Then I discovered Skyn Iceland, an all natural line of skincare specifically designed to provide solutions for stressed skin. Founder, Sarah Kugelman, led a very active, stressful lifestyle that took its toll, leaving her seriously ill. After her doctor warned that her current lifestyle was life threatening, Sarah took some time to re-charge and re-think her life. Since her complexion had suffered greatly from her old, anxious lifestyle, she began researching the effects of stress on the skin. During this time, Sarah traveled to Iceland and was awestruck by the beauty of the land and the abundance of natural resources. In Iceland she discovered some of the critical ingredients of the Skyn Iceland line, including mineral-rich glacial waters, antioxidant-rich botanicals, and medicinal herbs.
It’s this knowledge of the effects of stress on the skin combined with effective, natural ingredients that makes Skyn Iceland such a treat for troubled skin. Whether your skin reacts to stress by increasing sebum production (resulting in clogged pores and blemishes) or by impairing the lipid barrier function (causing dry, dull, dehydrated skin), Skyn Iceland has the prefect product to relieve, heal and nourish any stressed out complexion.
The entire line centers on the Biospheric Complex, which is Skyn Iceland’s proprietary blend of elements found in the Water, Earth and Air, that are combined with the latest in technology for products that soothe, heal, and restore skin. Ingredients such as Icelandic glacial water infused with minerals, Arctic cloudberries, red cranberry seed oils, and thyme extracts deliver powerful antioxidants and moisture to rejuvenate your complexion.
All of the items in this line are designed to work with every skin type and they are especially effective for sensitive skin or those prone to breakouts. And for all you eco-conscious ladies, this line has Sephora’s Natural Seal of Approval and are formulated free of parabens, sulfates, synthetic fragrances, synthetic dyes, petro-chemicals, phthalates and triclosan. Our (sometimes stressed out) review team received five items from Skyn Iceland to test:
Icelandic Relief Eye Pen– The first whispers I heard about Skyn Iceland were all about this soothing and cooling eye cream, full of antioxidants and skin brighteners to fight the big three of eye worries: puffiness, wrinkles, and dark circles. This portable, travel friendly version is there when you need it most.
Stress Defense Cream with Biospheric Complex – Touted as the botanical answer to injection treatments, this cream uses “gABA technology derived from tomato, ginseng, and portulaca extracts” to produce a wonder cream that visible relaxes fine lines, tension lines and brow furrows. Continued treatment promises “results…that are both immediate and cumulative” in wrinkle reduction.
Antioxidant Calming Serum – This lightweight, overnight serum is designed to sooth skin, reduce redness, promote healing and fight the signs of aging. A combination of antioxidants, collagen boosters, and skin-soothers, this serum is perfect for those with sensitive skin that could use some improvement in texture and are fussing over wrinkles and fine lines.
Arctic Face Mist with Biospheric Complex – The perfect treat for summer days or any time skin is flushed, irritated and grouchy. This hydrating mist instantly cools and soothes skin with an infusion of green, white and yellow teas and mineral waters to calm and protect skin. Use whenever you need some help in achieving a healthy glow and even to set make up!
Anti-Blemish Gel with Willow Bark – A pimple fighter and spot reducer that promises to be non-irritating even to the most sensitive skin, this concentrated gel contains natural anti-inflammatory that kill bacteria and calms infections. Blemishes fade away without the telltale dry flaky patches or irritation.
