This is a product that I have recently been using. I bought the starter kit - which includes: 2 pure muslin cloths, 1 100ml Cleanse and Polish, 1 200ml Instant Boost Skin Tonic, 1 50ml Skin Repair Moisturiser and 1 50ml Deep Cleansing. All of this (at the time) cost me £45 which is expensive, however I believe that you only need a little bit of each product to have it used to its full effect.
What to do with the products:
Now this can vary you'll find different people all over the Internet using these same products completely differently. For me I have quite sensitive skin so using products like this that have quite a strong scent can make it irritated (going back to me stating that I just use a small amount).
First few things I will do is put some music on, then I will fill the sink with warm-hot water. For the Cleanse and Polish I will pump once onto my left hand and then I will rub my hands together and use this to take off my eye make up off one at a time using one of the muslin clothes to gently wipe it off rinsing the cloth in between each swipe. Then I will take another single pump of the Cleanse and Polish and rub it between my hands and then I will gently massage it into my skin on my face to take the rest of my make up off - while avoiding my eyes. After I have done this I will take the muslin cloth again and gently wipe my face and I will rinse the cloth before going over my face one more time.
Next I will move onto the Deep Cleansing, which is ultimately an exfoliator. I will put a tiny amount onto my hands and then rub it between my hands. I only use this for my nose and cheeks as I feel that is where it needs more exfoliating. However! I must warn you that the beads in this formula are very strong. Therefore you do not need to push hard to get a good end result - I have done this and trust me it will hurt for a good 5-10 minutes afterwards! Then I will rinse my face in the sink with the water that is already there, then I take the plug out.
I move onto the Instant Boost Tonic next which I put onto a cotton pad and gently massage it over my face, excluding my eyes (it will burn).
Lastly I take a pea size amount of the Skin Repair Moisture and rub that all over my face, this then cools the skin down from the water and the Tonic leaving your skin feeling cool and refreshed.
What it feels like:
Cleanse and Polish - feels luxurious and gentle on your skin.
Deep Cleansing - unless you push too hard it is a bumpy sensation on your skin but you can feel the beads getting into your skin and cleaning it (like the name suggests it gives you a deep cleanse).
Instant Boost Tonic - this gives you the feeling of someone pouring ice cold water on your face, but without the actual need of someone doing that which is always a good thing!
Skin Repair Moisture - as I have already said it makes your skin feel refreshed and leaves your skin feeling touchable.
The whole combination of the four products leaves your skin feeling brand new and clean after a long day of being covered with make up. Or if you decide to use this as a morning skin routine it will make you feel awake and like you can do anything.
What do I think:
To be honest with you I have been wanting to buy this product for many years, however I was not prepared to spend the amount of money in case it did not agree with my skin. Although when I saw my Aunty (who has very similar skin to me) using it then I though I could give it a shot.
I am so glad that I decided to get it and I can really feel the difference of using something like this to take make up off compared to a make up wipe. The only thing that I think Liz Earle can do better is have the promotions - whether that is through someone on YouTube or an advert on TV - explain the difference of the types of skin. I would suggest that if you have slightly oily skin go for the normal combination set (that is what I am and it is doing wonders with my skin).
I hope that you enjoyed this post and that you are having a lovely day.
