How is the treatment day?
The treatment day begins with a refreshing shower and use of Blue Lagoon algae and mineral shower gel. Guests then bathe in the 38-41°C geothermal seawater in a lagoon reserved exclusively for treatment guests. Guests are advised to bathe for 60 minutes to allow the skin to get warm, increase blood circulation to the skin and make it more receptive to the geothermal seawater's active ingredients.
