I'm so happy to be topped up on ARK Skincare and to be able to bring you a discount code for 15% off when you use code HAZEL15 via the link in my Linktree (in bio).

I'm especially grateful for the Hydrating Beauty Mist in this hot weather. It's so refreshing and hydrating!

☆ Key ingredients are hyaluronic acid, wild water mint, aloe vera, allantoin, goji berry, and blue lotus.

The SPF primer has been my go-to since the first time I tried it. It's a multitasker - SPF, moisturiser, and primer in one bottle - and so perfect to use alone for no make-up days or as the perfect base for make-up.

☆ Key ingredients are vitamin E, jojoba, mimosa, sunflower, UVA and UVB filters, and hyaluronic acid.

I'm most excited to try out the Clearing Serum to decongest my pores and reduce oil. It can be applied directly to blemishes or mixed in with moisturiser.

☆ Key ingredients are mariposa leaf extract, watercress, nettle, and horsetail.

I'll be incorporating these into my skincare routine from today - can't wait!

When you've shopped your stash to find there's no toner to be found, it's time to head to a brand you trust. So I've chosen this Kiehl's Ultra Facial Oil-Free Toner.

Its formula promises to :

☆ visibly reduce excess oil on the skin's surface
☆ leave skin instantly fresh and healthy
☆ soothe and hydrate
☆ remove remaining reside, dirt, and oil without stripping vital moisture

Ingredients include:

☆ Imperata Cylindrica Root Extract
☆ Antarcticine

It's also:

☆ non-drying
☆ alcohol free
☆ PH-balanced
☆ tested for safety and gentleness
☆ fragrance free

It's too soon to do a proper review at this stage, but it really seems to suit my combination skin, and it feels really good. Have you tried it? What do you think?
