Beauty brand ARK have developed a revolutionary skincare system with a range of innovative formulas that are appropriate to your skin's age rather than your skin type. Consisting of three ranges - Age Prepare for teens to early 30s, Age Maintain for mid 30s to 50s and Age Repair for 50s + - each range includes a great cleanser, exfoliator, masque and moisturiser.
In addition to these are a range of seven new SkinResponse Serums, a hero product tailored to your specific needs to use on top of your daily routine. The serums answer every possible skin concern, designed to intensify the bioactive treatment of your skin as and when required, usin a mixture of potent ingredients and concentrated complexes. The serums respond to the needs of your skin immediately and have a lasting effect by targeting these concerns for a 6-8 week treatment period after which time you can go back to your normal skincare regime.
The serums available include Hydrating for fine lines and tightness, Clearing for breakouts, congestion and shine, De-Stress for sensitive, inflamed skin or capillary damage (the soothing Ayurvedic herb extract Boerhavia Diffusa root has proven a hit with stressed out brides-to-be FYI!), Firming for wrinkles, loss of tone and premature ageing, Radiance for dull, tired skin, Phytohormone to improve texture, tone and sagging, Antioxidant to combat the effects of environmental damage and Anti-Redness for inflammation, eczema or rosacea. Undoubtedly falling into the 'dull, tired skin' category (burning the candle at both ends does eventually take it's toll...) I decided to try out the Radiance serum for myself. Containing a natural amino acid complex and extracts of Red Algae and Velvet Flower Seed, the aim is to brighten the complexion and renew the appearance of the skin, adding a softness, suppleness, and luminescence that gives off a healthy glow. Using 2-3 drops morning and night after my usual cleanser and toner has definitely improved the look of my skin. I do seem somewhat less haggard, brighter and perkier, and the delicious almost herbaceous scent is a soothing treat fr the skin. The rest of the serums are definitely on my radar and I shall undoubtedly be procuring more if... or more likely when... the wrinkles appear.
ARK SkinResponse Serums are available at ARK centres in Wimbledon, Putney and Fulham and at selected House of Fraser stores, priced £32-£36. For more information visit www.arkskincare.com or call 020 7938 1898
