REVIEW: ARK SKINCARE DISCOVERY COLLECTION

I love clean, fresh and smooth looking skin (but then again who doesn't right?) - so I couldn't say no when I got the chance to try out the Ark Skincare Age Prepare range. 

When I opened up the parcel the first thing I noticed was the gorgeous scent - it reminded me of products used in a spa, which is always lovely, especially if you want to recreate the experience at home :)

I recieved the Age Prepare 'Discovery Collection'* which contains four 30ml products and comes in a handy mesh bag. It's useful if you want to give the range a go without having to commit to full sizes, or for travelling because they're the ideal size for hand luggage.

There's three ranges designed for different ages (Age Prepare / Age Maintain / Age Repair) , so I got the Age Prepare kit tailored for those in their teens, 20s and early 30s which is all about preparing for the ageing process. 

The Skin Refining Exfoliator* (full size 75 ml) is my favourite out of the four, because it makes my skin feel super smooth. My skin is quite sensitive so I use this about twice a week, and I've noticed a huge difference in the way it looks and feels. My face makeup also looks a lot better because there's no little flaky bits as it removes all dead skin cells, and because it contains Margosa Leaf Extract it also prevents new blemishes. 

Right now you can also receive a free masque when you purchase an exfoliator - always a bonus!

The Skin Clear Cleanser* (full size 200 ml) is soap free and designed to balance oily and dry areas of the face, which works well for my combination skin. The consistency of this cleanser is very unique, and makes it amazing to apply to my skin and massage in. In the morning I just use it once and remove with a face cloth, then in the evening I usually use it twice - once to remove all of my makeup and then again just to really cleanse the skin. 

The Skin Vitality Moisturiser* (full size 50ml) is also a vital step in my skincare routine, I use it right after I have cleansed and exfoliated. It's great because it has a light consistency and sinks into the skin quickly, but gives just enough hydration.

The last product is the Skin Purifying Masque* (full size 75ml). I use this once a week, leave it on for around 15 minutes and take off with warm water and a face cloth. Having used it a good few times now I have definitely noticed a difference - it contains lovely ingredients like Kaolin Clay and Anti-Pollution Algae that make my skin, again, look a lot smoother and clearer. 

Overall I have definitely loved using the Ark products I tested out, so I do recommend them if you're looking for some new skincare bits to add to your routine! 
As I mentioned before - there's various products designed for different ages, as well as a lot of other products like eye creams, serums and even some body care.

* These products were sent to me to try out, however I provide only my honest views and opinions. 

Thank you for reading,
