YBLAG Review: Skyn Iceland Pure Cloud Cream
Skyn Iceland Pure Cloud Cream, $75, available
at Beauty.com.
Since it's my job to try
out new beauty stuff, I feel obligated to be "in the
know" when it comes to new skincare technology. As a
result, in any given month, it's possible that this
mug has been through a lot: peels, scrubs, serums,
acid-y pore minimizers ... even if I don't really
need it, I still try it. (FYI, I realize this is not
at all normal.)
Anyway, the point is, sometimes I get so overzealous
about switching up my skincare du jour that I
sometimes find myself in a post-traumatic skin
treatment situation. Surely you've heard of this
vicious cycle: when you over-exfoliate/cleanse, you
can strip your skin of both bad and good
oils, forcing more oil production, which leads to
blackheads, breakouts, and sometimes redness. Fugly,
dude!
Lucky for my face, I recently tried something that
has significantly reduced my pores' workload.
Skyn Iceland Pure Cloud Cream evokes
that "ahhhhh!" feeling you get from plopping on the
couch in front of an E! True Hollywood Story
marathon whilst wrapped in a delicious down
comforter. Quite simply: it gives your skin a break
from cold weather, gusty winds and (perhaps most
importantly) everything you do it.
How it works: Collagen-preserving
hydrolyzed rice protein stabilizes
your skin's natural moisture, aloe
heals and cools irritation, almond
oil delivers healthy doses of Vitamins A, B
and E, hyaluronic acid attracts
1,000 its weight in water to replenish your pores and
Skyn Iceland's signature biospheric
complex, uses a cocktail from Iceland's
natural resources to soothe, strengthen and stabilize
stressed skin.
Bonus: The cream is light-as-a-cumulous-cloud and not
at all greasy. Double bonus: It smells like berries.
Triple bonus: You can read more about it here on
Total
Beauty. Muah.
