Iceland's most tanned personalities revealed

As summer arrives in Iceland, a noticeable trend emerges: a select group of well-known Icelanders consistently sport a sun-kissed glow, regardless of the season. The article "Teniu sólbrúnustu Íslendingarnir" (The Ten Tanned Icelanders) from Morgunblaðið explores this phenomenon, showcasing individuals who have mastered the art of maintaining a tanned appearance.

Among those highlighted is businessman Ásgeir Kolbeinsson, described as a "tanning king." Even when sunbathing was less fashionable, Kolbeinsson maintained a tanned look, famously celebrating his 50th birthday in Tenerife. His enduring commitment to a bronzed complexion is noted, even with his red hair.

Influencer Sunneva Eir Einarsdóttir is also featured for her skillful use of self-tanning products. She consistently achieves a look as if she has just returned from a long holiday, without any signs of sunburn. Heiðrún Lind Marteinsdóttir, CEO of SFS, is noted for her naturally tanned skin, which appears even when she avoids direct sun exposure.

The article also mentions interior stylist Leifur Welding, investor Heiðar Guðjónsson, and former politician Árni Páll Árnason, all of whom are recognized for their perpetually tanned complexions. Guðmundur Birkir Pálmason, a chiropractor and influencer known as Gummi kíró, is also included in the list, celebrated for his attention to appearance, including his summer skin tone.
