Liz Earle Skincare Review

Whilst on holiday, the day that I had been dreading arrived, my Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish finally gave up on me. The worst timing ever.  The day I got back I ran to John Lewis and repurchased a 200ml bottle and seeing as I don’t buy a lot of things twice, I thought that this would be a good time for a review of the Liz Earle skin care essentials routine.

Just a bit of skin care background, before this I had basically nothing to speak of. I slapped a bit of moisturiser on before I put my makeup on and then my makeup was removed by either makeup wipes/remover and that was it. But after a while of bitching about my skin and delving into the online beauty world, I decided to take the plunge and invest in a proper skin care routine. The reason that I picked Liz Earle is pretty much down to Zoella, her appraisal convinced me that this would be great starter products.

So I think will start the review with my favourite part of the set, the cleanser.

Cleanse & Polish-Hot Cloth Cleanser

I absolutely love everything about this cleanser, the smell, the texture etc. This is a cream cleanser and it is made with all natural plant extracts which is perfectly free of perfumes and fragrances. It does not strip my skin or leave it feeling tight but it does remove all of my makeup, waterproof and all. I just massage this into my skin all over my eyes and then I remove it with warm water and a muslin cloth or flannel. I find that this is perfect at keeping my skin smooth, spot free and really helps keep my blackheads in check throughout my t-zone. It is meant to be suitable for all skin types including sensitive skin, although I know it doesn't always suit everyone.

Instant Boost-Skin Tonic

This alcohol-free toner is just so beautiful, it is a hydrating toner and I think really it does help your moisturiser work. It really is a great boost of moisture to your skin and I do really see the difference in my skin for using it.

Skin Repair Moisturiser-Dry/Sensitive

This moisturiser comes in a few different versions to cater for as many skin types as possible, I went for this one purely because it said sensitive and I panicked that the other versions would possibly aggravate my skin. I think I possibly over reacted. I quickly learnt that this formula may be a bit heavy for the summer day, and couldn't really be worn underneath my makeup. I have been using this as my night cream and it has been working really well. I do also think that this will work well in the winter when my skin dries up.

Overall, I think this is an amazing set and for a skin care virgin is the perfect first time buy to introduce someone to the skincare crazy world.
