Liz Earle - Cleanse & Polish™ Hot Cloth Cleanser

Now I know you can find quite a few blogs reviewing Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish, and this will probably seem quite repetitive to some. However it was from reading other peoples blogs that I stumbled across it and give it a go – so this is mainly for the people who haven’t heard of it before or tried it yet.

I got this back at the beginning of July, just after my birthday. I’d seen loads of reviews raving about it and was desperate to try it! Now I live in Lancaster and the only place to buy any Liz Earle products is John Lewis (Manchester Trafford Centre), so not really that convenient or online. Luckily I went to Trafford with my birthday money and treated myself. I waited a while to review as I wanted to make sure that I was happy with the results. Also as I’ve nearly finished my first tub I thought this would be a great time to review as I’m obviously considering whether I would re-purchase.

Anyway, I brought the Starter Kit for £13.00 – that includes the 100ml tub and 2 muslin cloths (sadly I only have one of the cloths left as I lost the other one when I was on my sister’s Hen Do in Milton Keynes L )

How to use: - (from the site)

Cleanse daily morning and night using this two-step process:

Step 1: Massage 1 or 2 pumps gently onto dry skin over face and neck. Free from mineral oil, its rich and creamy texture swiftly removes all traces of face and eye make-up, including stubborn mascara.

Step 2: Rinse the pure muslin cloth in hand-hot water and wring out before gently polishing off the cream to gently remove dead skin cells and help reveal clean, soft and radiant skin.

Splash your face with cool clean water and moisturise.

So I only use this in the evening and only use one pump – you could use two but for me one’s enough. I do occasionally use it in the mornings so it’s not that I find it a problem or anything, I just don’t usually have much time.

It’s has a lovely creamy texture and I LOVE the eucalyptus smell. It’s gorgeous!

It removes all my makeup easily and even does a great job on eye makeup – I usually just run a quick swipe of eye makeup remover over each eye once I’m done to pick up the last few bits of mascara and that’s it.

It makes my skin feel so soft and I haven’t suffered any tightness after using, which is probably a first for me. I’ve also seen a complete change to my complexion, that even the fiancé noticed (he’s usually obvious to everything)! My redness has reduced on my chin and cheeks and I’ve had fewer breakouts.

Verdict – LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this product! I couldn’t recommend it more, it just does everything I need. It’s also really sped up my nightly routine.

Now I just need a good moisturise to go with it for the winter months!
