Daily Luxe - Liz Earle skincare

Tues 20 Aug

The people I know who use Liz Earle's skincare range absolutely rave about it. And a few years ago I was lucky enough that my friend bought me a number of products from the range so I've been able to try it myself. 

I have to admit I am usually a big Dermologica fan as its the best range I have found for my sensitive stressed out skin.

But reviews of the The Cleanse and Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser in particular promised a lot - with over 1,000 people on the Liz Earle website rating it 5/5 - so I was excited to try it.

The product itself is suitable for all skin types. Its described by Liz Earle as follows:

"Ideal for your morning or evening cleanse, this formulation works on every age and skin type, offering concentrated yet gentle cleansing power.

Our plant-based cleanser has a two-phase action. Phase one is the cleansing. Free from mineral oil, it has a rich and creamy texture and swiftly removes all traces of face and eye make up, even stubborn mascara.

Phase two is the polishing. Polish off the cream using the pure muslin cloth to gently dislodge dead skin cells and help reveal clean, soft and radiant skin.

Naturally active ingredients include eucalyptus and cocoa butter for smoother, cleaner skin."

And I must admit I loved it right from the start. Its light and fresh yet creamy consistency leaves your skin feeling clean and soft, with no tightness or dryness. 

If you're interested in trying it for yourself why not try the Essentials Try Me kit. For £23 you get a 30ml Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser tube, a 50ml Instant Boost Skin Tonic, a 15ml Skin Repair moisturiser of your choice, a Eyebright Soothing Eye Lotion and a muslin cloth plus a handy little bag to keep them in.

Daily Luxe - Clarins One Step Cleansers

Fri 16 Aug

As a busy mum of two boys under the age of three my skincare regime is sometimes great sometimes errr minimal shall we say.

There was a time where I thought using Simple cleansing wipes was enough, and to be honest my skin was ok with that. However as I've got older my skin just isn't as robust as it once was and it needs properly looking after.

However, whilst I do try to cleanse, tone and moisturise every day, there are days where I just need to flop into bed and sleep as quickly as possible. For these days I have my Clarins One Step Cleanser.

There are three to choose from depending on your skin type. I use the Water Purify One-Step Cleanser with Mint Essential Water (£19.50) which is for combination/oily skin. It feels lovely and refreshing on your skin, and does not leave it feeling tight at all just fresh and clean. Just swipe it over your face with a cotton pad and you're done.

It's also an ideal quick fix if you are staying away from home.
