My Daily Liz Earle Essentials How did my skincare routine begin?
Up until a few
years ago skincare was not something that I really considered important in my
daily life routine. I was using regular face wipes from a brand in Boots and a
branded moisturiser from the shelf. But then my whole outlook on skincare
changed…
A while before
this change of thought my mum had been trying to encourage me to use a cleanser
and toner to use first thing in a morning and to remove my make up at night. I
have always worn make up since being a teenager and I had never imagined that I
was actually damaging my skin by using face wipes to remove it at night. I
started to get blemishes and my face started to feel more oily than usual (I
have always had oily skin anyway) and I wondered why this was happening. At the
time I also spoke to a skincare specialist at a premium brand make up store and
she informed me that my skin was oily and likely to breakout as I was clogging
my pores by using the face wipes, so she advised me to use a cleanser, toner
and moisturiser instead.

My Daily Skincare Routine
Liz Earle offers
a wide range of products not only for skincare but also hair, make up and even
men. Their products are all natural and smell incredible! If you only want to
use the essentials then I would advise starting with a Cleanse and Polish,
Toner (Instant Boost Skin Tonic) and Moisturiser (you can use a moisturiser
that is not from Liz Earle but the products all work together so if you can I
would advise getting one).
Cleanse and
Polish – This is the very beginning of my skincare routine. The product comes
in a pump or tube and I would recommend the pump bottle as it has measured
quantities for you (1 pump = 1 application).
I gently rub the product all over my face and neck for a light even
coverage. Then I wet a muslin cloth with warm water (these are usually provided
with the cleanse and polish), squeeze it out and then use this to wipe off the
cleanse and polish. You can wrap the cloth around your hand to make it into a
mitt if you wish to. After all of the cleanse and polish is removed rinse the
cloth with warm water and then splash some cold water onto your face and pat
dry with a face towel.
Toner (Instant
Boost Skin Tonic) – The next step is to use a toner. I pour enough to fill a
cotton wool pad and then wipe my face and neck with the product which removes
any left over cleanse and polish or make up.
Eyebright – In a
morning I use the Eyebright after my toner, which is a fantastic product. It
does exactly what it says on the tin it brightens the eyes and trust me it
actually works! I leave my Eyebright in the fridge, as it is a nice cool and
calming sensation then when you apply it. Similar to the toner I pour it into a
cotton wool pad and gently press and hold it for 10 seconds on my eyelids. You
can also use this at night to further remove make up.
Moisturiser – The
Liz Earle moisturisers are brilliant because they come in different types to
match your skin type. They do one for dry/sensitive skin, one for normal/ combination
skin and the one I have which is a light moisturizer for combination/oily skin
(they also do additional moisturisers in the Superskin range). The moisturiser
is in either a pot or tube and the product is very rich so you only need a
small amount for the whole face and neck. I gently rub or pat it into my skin,
avoiding under my eyes. This is important because this moisturiser is too rich
for under the eyes; therefore you only go up to the orbital bone under your
eye.
Why Liz Earle?
I love Liz Earle
(as you’ve probably guessed)! Their products are all natural, contain no animal
extracts, are made in Great Britain and have the most amazing smells. The
ingredients are specifically chosen to target the particularly area where the
product is applied. They contain all natural extracts and the packaging is
pretty too!
Although the
products seem expensive compared to using face wipes I really think they are
worthwhile as they really do help your skin. If used daily the cleanse and
polish and toner will last roughly a month and a half, but my moisturiser,
Eyebright and eye cream last me at least 3 months so when you think of it like
that it is not too expensive. You also regularly get free products from Liz
Earle as a gift for ordering so many times and John Lewis also give loyalty
cards where you receive free products when you buy so many times.
You can order Liz
Earle products online, over the phone or you can visit your local John Lewis
store, which may have counters. You can also now buy Liz Earle from Boots (See
links below to websites). All products come with instructions for use on the
back and the Liz Earle teams are always happy to help answer any queries.
I hope this has
given you some information not only into my skincare routine but also Liz Earle
incase any of you are like I was and want to try something different. I can’t
recommend Liz Earle enough. Feel free to leave any comments; I would love to
hear the products you use. Thanks for reading.
