Liz Earle's Cleanse and Polish was probably the first proper skincare product I ever bought, I think I would have been about 14, and I have loved it ever since I first started using it. It is one of those fail-safe cleansers that seems to work for all skin types. It is super gentle on the skin, with a cream-like consistency. It removes makeup easily and cleans the skin leaving it soft, smooth and hydrated.
The cleanser comes with a muslin cloth and the idea is that it applies straight onto dry skin, or makeup. This was a little odd at first but it soon became second nature, it also turned removing my makeup into an easy step instead of a chore which involved lots of cotton pads and eye makeup remover.
You then work it into your skin and if you are taking off makeup it creates a brilliant 'panda face', which is the classic combination of cleanser and eye makeup smeared around your eyes, always very useful if you are going to a Halloween Party!
You then run the muslin cloth under a hot tap, I always use warm water as my skin is very sensitive, and use the cloth to wipe off the makeup. I then go back and do a second cleanse to make sure my skin is properly clean! The muslin works as an exfoliator, removing the makeup and any dry skin, as well as reducing the risk of water being splashed everywhere- it is a much easier way of removing the cleanser from your face.
I have very dry skin and it really helped to keep my skin hydrated and happy. It also seems to help prevent spots, but if one does appear, whereas before I would always be left with redness and scarring this cleanser has really improved the clarity of my skin.
The packaging is also fabulous! You can get it in a tube, like the one pictured or in a bottle that features a very handy pump delivering the perfect amount of product each time. Either one you choose, it is simple and easy to use and looks beautiful in your skincare cabinet !
If you are looking for an all round fantastic cleanser I would definitely give this ago!
