Mud mask

A smiling couple at the Blue Lagoon with white silica mud masks, scooped up from the lagoon's bottom. The lagoon has 55% seawater and 35% fresh water and it’s very high in silica, which is what gives the water its milky blue colour. The water/mud is said to prevent premature skin aging, improves the skin barrier and have an anti-bacterial and anti-psoriasis effect.

Re people's cell phone remarks...I wasn't in the water and don't use my cell phone when I travel. With permission, I was on the perimeter walkway with my full frame camera.

    Some people seem to need to have their cell phones surgically removed from their hands--I'm not one of them. Seems like a dip in a spa pool is a good time to relax and get away from it all! Cute shot however!

    I'd never take a cell phone or camera into the water for leisure unless there was a mighty good reason; however, to each his or her own! Do you, boo -:)!

    How fun that they can just scoop it up off the bottom. And that's one of those ever present cell phones. I'm not sure where mine is at the moment. LOL. Great shot Terry!!

    Wonderful portrait of the smiling couple with all the protective foam on their faces and with the ubiquitous cell phone!
