Liz Earle polishing cloths
|
|
Hi,
Can anyone give me any advice on the polishing cloths by Liz Earle? I've heard people talking about them and am curious. Are they better to use to remove make-up than actual cleanser? I have quite dry and sensitive skin so use a cleanser for this skin type. Will they do for me or will they be too harsh?
How do you use them anyway - specific instructions please!

I would try her website as this is full of information. As far as I know you use the cloths with her cleanser and wash them in the machine as and when.

Hi Snoopy, they are brilliant little muslin cloths the size of a facecloth and they remove all makeup, grime from your face. They work in conjunction with her Cleanse & Polish which is the best product on the market and I can't live without it. It's very gentle. I have dry, sensitive skin and I've never had a problem with her products as they are all natural and smell gorgeous. Treat yourself.

My cloths got a bit grubby so I used to use ordinary tissues to remove makeup. I got cleanse and polish as a gift last christmas and it finished about 2 months ago, so hoping to get some more.

I did use cleanse & polish but dont now but I still have the muslin cloths and use them with other cleansers. They are great that you can just pop them in the machine.

I use them with other cleansers too. I think the point of them is that they have a mildly exfoliating effect.
You still need to use a cream cleanser though, they aren't 'wet wipes' (which I think you thought they might be?) 'Simple' do fabulous wet wipes to remove make-up if that's what you're after.

I take off the worst with a Simple wipe then use the cleanse and polish on slightly damp skin. I find it doesn't drag the skin so much and you don't have to use as much. I had 3 muslin cloths but can only find two now !! I think ordinary baby muslin would work as well and might work out cheaper. The exfoliating action of the cloth helps to give a smoother skin surface.

These polishing cloths sounded great so have just ordered myself 2. But will use my own Clarins cleansing milk up first as I have a nice stock still that will probably last me about 8 weeks.
Thanks for the tip.

Hi Thimble
I used to use Clarins cleansing milk and toner, but I switched to LE about 6 months ago and really liked it. Much cheaper than Clarins too.
I did try LE moisturisers but found they didn't have enough 'science' in them for my skin, so I have stayed with Clarins face creams and serums.

Thanks for that foxie. I have been considering switching some of my clarins products because of the expense. Like you though I will stick with the moisturiser as it really works for me. Will try LE toner when mine runs out and then the cleanser. What about hand cream? I use clarins hand and nail and it seem to keep my hands from looking "old". Any tips?

Hi Thimble
Regarding hand cream Miss F and I use Norwegian Formula, anti aging, SPF 15 hand cream. We get it from Boots. It is not very expensive and comes in a sky blue tube with the Norwegian flag on it. I like it because it sinks in and doesn't just sit on the surface.
I have been given some of the new Clinque body cream which polishes and smoothes at the same time. I tried it for the first time this morning and it absorbed really well and it doesn't have a strong smell either.

I have expensive stuff but recently bought a big tub of Boots Aqueous Cream which although it doesn't smell fab, is effective.
