For the Spa Queen: Blue Lagoon, Iceland
One of Iceland’s top attractions, Blue Lagoon is a geothermal spa located in a lava field in Grindavik on the Reykjanes Peninsula. Famed for its nutrient-dense waters, Blue Lagoon is reputed to do wonders for troubled skin, even reportedly curing diseases like psoriasis.
The natural spa also features silica mud from the surrounding lagoon, which leaves skin smoother and more supple. Blue Lagoon is about a 20-minute drive from Keflavik International Airport and 50 minutes from the capital city of Reykjavik.
