Liz Earle Skin Care Review

Carrying on from my previous post, my Liz Earle order arrived in a beautiful package on Saturday, I was not expecting it to arrive so soon as I received free delivery with my order, I thought it would take at least a week. Each item was wrapped perfectly in tissue paper, which was perfect for all of two seconds, my excitement got the better of me and the tissue paper was soon shredded into a million pieces - my bad. I would like to think it was fate that it arrived so promptly as I woke up Saturday morning with awful skin, the stress of my uni deadlines resulted in 4 new spots, I literally went straight upstairs and began using it on my skin, it is now Tuesday and I am nearly spot free, I am now left with little faint red marks. 

So with my order I received a Hot Cloth Cleaner which came with 2 muslin cloths, a Instant Boost Skin Tonic, Skin Repair Moisturiser and a free gift of Gentle Face Exfoliator. They are currently offering all this for £43 plus free delivery until 29th January. 


One thing that I noticed straight away was I could open my eyes while the product was over my eyes, as it is made with all natural ingredients there is no chemicals to hurt your eyes. I applied it in circular motions all over my face and neck, then using the muslin cloth - rinsed with hot water and wring out - I gentle polished off the cream, then finished with splashing cold water on my face to close the pores. Straight away my skin was so smooth and soft, the product smells really nice too which is a great bonas. 
The ingredients in this are: Rosemary, Chamomile, Cocoa Butter and Eucalyptus Essential Oil.


The free gift - It is recommended that this is used straight after the Hot Cloth Cleanser, it also comes with a pump which I usually prefer as I think it can save product, about two pumps were enough to lightly massage onto my face, I concentrated on forehead, nose and chin as these are my main problem areas. After washing off with warm water I definitely noticed how soft my skin was, for a free gift I think this was a great extra, and will definitely be buying it when it runs out.
The ingredients are: Eucalyptus, Cocoa Butter and Fine Jojoba Beads.


I usually use Simple Toner as they are very natural based products but I have never noticed a huge difference, but after looking at the ingrediants of both, the Liz Earle toner has better ingredients which are better for your skin. This toner goes onto your skin very smoothly and again smells really good. 
A lot of people ask me why we need to use toner? What is it really for? Is it just a gimmick used by companies? So if you are wondering the same thing basically your skin has an acid mantle made up of sweat and oil that you naturally produce. After using a cleanser, you often strip away these oils, which can change your skin's pH balance. However, your skin will recreate these oils within a few hours, whether or not you use toner. If you have very oily skin, a toner might help keep shiny skin in check. A little oil is actually a good thing, though: The acids help prevent bacteria build-up.
The Ingredients are: Aloe Vera, Calendula, Cucumber, Rose-Scented Geranium and Natural Sourced Vitamin E.


Lastly the Skin Repair Moisturiser, probably my favourite out of everything, it is extremely light on the skin - I really can't stand a moistuiser that feels heavy and takes forever to soak into your skin - I ordered the combination because even though I have primarily oily skin, during the winter months I get very dry around my nose, so figured this would be best for the next couple of months. 
The ingredients are: Borage and Avocado Oil, Echinacea, Beta-Carotene and Natural Vitamin E.

If you are using a skincare routine and really not noticing a difference I would highly recommend the Liz Earle range, I have never noticed a difference in my skin so quickly, it constantly feels soft and smooth, and my oily skin seems a lot more under control. Any question comment below :)

Thanks for popping by :)
