My sister and her best friend live up at Lake Tahoe. It’s gorgeous up there obviously and a great place to live…however, it seems to wreak havoc on your skin. It’s cold, dry, and very high in elevation which stresses the skin in a number of ways. Two that I recognized right off the bat when assessing their skin was oxygen deprivation and extensive damage from the sun’s rays. I noticed it early on when we were all in our thirties and I would think to myself…wow…those of us who live in Southern California (where it’s all about fun in the sun!) looked much less weathered and aged than my friends and family who lived in a colder, higher, dryer climate. And beyond my sister’s physical location of being bombarded with free radical damage or external stressors to the skin; they also have both suffered major stress internally. One of them suffered a major financial blow due to the unfortunate timing of purchasing a beautiful Lake Tahoe home. The other under the extreme stress resulting from a recent divorce. Both leading to too much physiological (or internal) stressors to the skin.

I myself always hated how my skin felt when I’d go up there to visit. And obviously it doesn’t have to be there…it can be any cold dry climate to make our skin feel like it’s gonna crack!

So today I thought I’d share with you the skincare recommendation that I gave Linda and Nicole. Their birthdays are just two days apart so I got them each a Skyn Iceland regimen and just waited patiently for their phone calls to hear how they liked it. I told them that it was indeed a birthday present…but the condition (which normally I’m aware birthday presents should be unconditional...lol) was to call me within a month to let me know their results and their thoughts on the brand and individual products.
They kept their end of the deal and called me right at about 4 weeks in. Not only did they call me they Skype’d me and I got to see them on my computer and I was so thrilled with their results…Needless to say they were too!

Here are some links to the products I bought them and the brand itself.
