Ever wonder how models during fashion week always have that radiant glow? Despite the arctic temperatures and hectic backstage environments, it’s impossible to spot a model on the runway that doesn’t look incandescent.
We got the chance to go backstage and speak to Sarah Kugelman, President and Founder of skyn ICELAND, who worked with her team of skincare experts to prep and treat the skin for the Adam Lippes fashion show.
“We are just launching the under eye eliminator. You can see it has a pink pearl pigment in it that really helps to illuminate the under-eye area. It makes the eyes look more wide away, more open, and in addition to that there botanicals that firm and tone the under eye area. It helps to brighten from the inside as well as the outside. In addition, it has grapefruit extract for detoxifying. It acts as a primer for the eye and also a treatment product.
The blemish dots are meant to be used overnight. They are clear and continuously delivering the antidote to the skin. sliced acid, tea tree oil, and an ingredient like retina to exfoliate. They last about a month after they are opened and 2 years if unopened.
We decided to launch the cleansing cloths for eyes this season. The product is super gentle and great around the eye. I’ve been using it every night after fashion week to take off the loads of make up that I’ve had on. It’s such a dream after using eye make up remover with the cotton ball and having to do it multiple times. It’s just one cloth and it gets it all off. It’s scented with a natural tea tree and cucumber, so it smells nice but it’s still really natural. It’s great for the eye area but still really effective.
The other products that we are using at fashion week are our eye gels and face gels. When I got here this morning it was really hot, so when we were doing the eye gels we found that it was so cooling, so aside from prepping the skin for make up and re-texturizing the skin, adding hydration, and creating a glow, it also really helped cool people down which calms everybody and creates a good atmosphere.
After the gels, we will generally do our Icelandic Eye cream to finish and have a long term effect on the eyes. We just re-launched this product with a stem cell from cold regions. These flowers extracted the stem cell that’s really great for anti-aging around the eyes. We have a complex in here that’s also in the under eye illuminator that actually tightens and firms and reduces puffiness as well with botanicals.”
