One of the things I invested in which was an actually sensible purchase rather than some of the more frivolous ones I made (A silk dressing gown - don't ask!) was the Liz Earle Skincare Essentials Regime. I've used a whole bottle of the cult beauty product Cleanse & Polish and I loved it then so I thought I'd give it another go, and whilst I was on the Liz Earle website I was drawn in by the offer of the 'August Skincare Essentials Offer' which was a full size Cleanse & Polish, Muslin Cloth, Instant Boost Skin Tonic, Skin Repair Moisturiser and FREE (yes FREE!) 40ml Sheer Skin Tint as well as a little mini Instant Boost Skin Tonic which is perfect for travelling all for £41! Which was just really too good to refuse, I wanted to make sure that I used everything enough to warrant a proper review on it, skincare of course if very subjective because everyone's skin is different but these are my thoughts on this range:
What Liz Earle Say:
- Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser:
- "A rich, concentrated cream that gently removes daily grime and make-up, even stubborn mascara, to leave skin clear, smooth and exceptionally clean. Used with the pure muslin cloth it lifts away dead skin cells, revealing fresh, radiant skin."
- Instant Boost Skin Tonic:
- "This heavenly floral-scented toner refreshes, soothes and brightens your skin."
- Skin Repair Moisturiser for Normal/Combination Skin:
- "Light, yet rich in naturally active skin nourishing ingredients, including; borage oil a rich source of the essential fatty acid GLA, echinacea, hops, avocado oil, panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) and the natural antioxidants beta-carotena and vitamin E to replace lost moisture and help protect the skin."
- Sheer Skin Tint:
- "The perfect way to enhance your skin. Our rich, creamy formula leaves skin looking naturally dewy, even and radiant. With mineral SPF15,plus our own specially selected blend of botanicals. You'll love its sheer coverage and lightweight feel."
What I Say:
- Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser:
- I like this just as much as the first time I used it, It's creamy and rich without leaving my skin feeling greasy or like it's clogging my pores. It feels lovely and moisturising with the most lovely floral/herbal soothing smell. It's made my skin so soft and smooth and removes every trace of make-up from my face. LOVE LOVE LOVE! Cannot recommend it enough.
- Instant Boost Skin Tonic:
- This is the first time I've actually used a Toner *slaps wrist* , I've wanted to try one for a while and so far I've been really impressed, it smells even more floral than the Cleanse and Polish but still really nice and refreshing. It feels really soothing, but removes any of the last residue or make-up I've missed.
- Skin Repair Moisturiser for Normal/Combination Skin:
- So far I've been enjoying this moisturiser, it's possibly a bit rich for my skin even if it is for combination skin but using a teeny amount covers my face well and it keeps my skin from getting dry for the whole day.
- Sheer Skin Tint:
- For someone that prefers a medium coverage, I like this product a surprising amount. It's sheer and lightweight, while still actually covering blemishes and my dark circles! It's quite thick consistency and blends like a dream, doesn't feel heavy on the skin and has the most beautiful dewy finish. I am really really impressed!
So, in conclusion. I am very very happy with the entire Essentials Regime, my skin has been clearer, more hydrated and much softer. I will be repurchasing all of this when it runs out. HAPPY BUNNY!
