Enter to win 1 of 3 Skyn Iceland skin care sets, valued at over $240 each!
Included in the prize:

Glacial Cleansing Cloths
These foaming cloths are infused with Icelandic glacial waters and beneficial natural extracts to sweep away dirt, oil and other impurities while refreshing and soothing skin as well as maintaining its natural moisture balance.

Arctic Face Mist with Multivitamin Complex
Instantly helps calm and stabilize irritable, depleted skin with a cooling burst of natural mineral water, while fortifying it against the aging effects of free radicals and environmental stress.

Nordic Skin Peel
As chronic stress impairs the lipid barrier function and dehydrates the skin, the Nordic Skin Peel gently exfoliates the skin’s surface, while repairing and replenishing with nourishing emollients and protective antioxidants. These individual pads transform lackluster, flaky or broken-out skin, improving tone and texture and restoring glow and radiance. 

The Antidote Quenching Daily Lotion
Formulated to return skin to its naturally fresh, youthful, healthy state, this advanced lightweight tonic works to strengthen and protect skin against the ravages of mental and environmental stress, allowing skin to feel instantly calmed and refreshed.

Hydro Cool Eye Firming Gels
Work intensively to help firm, de-puff and reduce the premature wrinkling that accompanies a high adrenaline lifestyle. In just 10 minutes, this cooling transdermal gel patch infuses the eye area with concentrated doses of soothing ingredients.

Arctic Brightening Serum
This Serum is like a time machine for your skin, helping to reverse the progression of stress-related damage to restore luminosity and improve texture.
