Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish

I  began using Liz Earle’s cult cleanser a few years ago and firmly believe that it is unsurpassable – and I am not alone: Cleanse & Polish is multi-award winning, and was the Beauty Bible’s highest rated product ever. The two-step Cleanse & Polish regime leaves skin looking dewy fresh and exceptionally clean, removing all traces of dirt and makeup.

The Cleanse and Polish 100ml pump starter kit comes with two muslin cloths (to polish to perfection!), and is priced at £13.00. Phase one of the Cleanse & Polish regime involves massaging a small amount of the rich, concentrated cream all over your face (including eyes and neck area). I like to spend 1-2 minutes doing this to help stimulate circulation, clear toxins and rid any puffiness around the eye area. Phase two involves saturating the muslin cloth in hand-hot water, wringing it out, and then ‘polishing’ off the cream. Finish the regime by splashing your face with cold water, to refresh and close pores. Then voila – squeaky clean, radiant skin!

Cleanse & Polish is great for my combination, sensitive skin. It thoroughly cleanses, but in a non-abrasive way – no redness, tightness of flakiness! The natural ingredients, including eucalyptus oil, cocoa butter, and chamomile (and hence the cream’s divine, subtle smell) help to sooth the skin and minimise the red blotchiness that I typically experience after using other cleansers and face washes.

Cleanse & Polishes’ £13.00 price tag only makes it further appealing. This really is an amazing price for a product sitting within the premium market, and because it really, really does work. After continual use of this Liz Earle gem, I have seen my skin become more ‘predictable’ (less breakouts, less dryness, less oiliness), and a lot healthier and brighter.

This two-step process is a very luxurious way to cleanse your face. Doing this in the morning is a really great, refreshing way to start the day, and at night helps to relax and unwind. I really cannot rate this product highly enough; it is my number 1 skin care essential, and a little (affordable) miracle worker.
