The Blue Lagoon
This geothermal spa features vibrant blue waters rich in silica, algae, and minerals, set against a stunning backdrop of dark mountains and lava fields.
One of Iceland’s “must-do” things is visiting the Blue Lagoon. The lagoon has a unique composition and consists of three active ingredients, Silica, Algae, and Minerals, all good for you, particularly your skin. The Blue Lagoon is surrounded by dark sandy mountains and fields of lava, creating a beautiful contradiction to the bright blue color of the lagoon.
The Blue Lagoon affects your hair. Depending on your hair type and sensitivity, you might want to use a shower cap or keep your head and hair out of the water. The Silica in the water is not harmful to your hair, but it can get stiff and difficult to manage. There is conditioning in the showers to help, but it might take a few washes. The Blue Lagoon has shampoo and conditioner dispensers for free use in their showers. They recommend slathering conditioner on your hair before entering the lagoon.
