Liz Earle Cleanse and
Polish is deemed to be a cult product by the beauty industry. It has won over a hundred awards. But is it
worthy of such status? Hell yeah, it is!
Cleanse and Polish
is basically a clay cleanser, suitable for all skin types. Now I’m little hesitant
when a product is designed for all skin types, but I can genuinely say that Cleanse and Polish (C&P) did work for me and It’s
definitely for everyone.
Liz Earle
advocates that it only uses “Naturally Active Ingredients” in their products
and this is why the trusty C&P
is so effective. The featured
moisturising ingredients are beeswax and cocoa, which are non-comodogenic,
meaning C&P won’t block your
pores. Here is the natural and effective ingredients that make Cleanse and Polish such an impressive
product:
- Beeswax -the beeswax has skin protecting properties and helps to relieve chapped skin and it is also a natural anti-bacterial.
- Eucalyptus Essential Oil - this refreshing and cooling essential oil has decongestant properties and is used by aromatherapists to ease muscular aches and pains.
- Glycerin - a humectant (attracts water), drawing atmospheric water onto the skin to aid hydration.
- Hops Extract - this herbal extract has astringent and toning properties.
- D-panthenol - or Pro-Vitamin B5, this B vitamin is necessary for the normal functioning of the skin and has a moisturising effect. It also stimulates cellular renewal.
- Cocoa Butter - this rich, creamy butter has moisturising effects on the skin.
- Rosemary Essential Oil - has a fresh pungent aroma and is very invigorating and stimulating. The extract has beneficial antioxidant properties.
- Chamomile Essential Oil - a gentle essential oil used for soothing the skin
You apply the cleanser onto dry skin and massage in. I only
use ¼ - ½ a pump; I feel I don’t need any more, as I’m just cleansing my skin. It
feels amazingly rich and comforting to massage this in. The smell is so comforting and relaxing. Now
this is what I do (totally optional) – I next wet my hands and massage my face
again. I feel this draws the cleanser out with any impurities and I just get a more
thorough and deep cleanse. Next I use the muslin cloth provided or a face cloth
and simply wipe it away.
My skin is left like silk, and especially an oily/combination
skin like mine was not left shiny and greasy, but soft, smooth, hydrated and
calmed. My skin afterwords felt amazing and it just glowed! My skin definitely
has a reduced shine, as this is so effective at cleansing my skin but without
stripping away any of its natural oils.
The product is designed to be used every day; morning and
evening, but I prefer to use this as a night-time cleanse. I think that it is
more suited to night-time use, as the smell and the facial message helps you
unwind after a long stressful day.
I also picked up this limited edition Cleanse & Polish with Orange Flower and Chamomile, the same
reliable C&P but with a gorgeous
and invigorating scent. Pure bliss!
I am definitely hooked to the Cleanse & Polish simply for its amazing results.
Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish
Hot Cloth Cleanser Starter Kit is €17 and is available here online from Liz Earle or Boots.
And yes I know there is a Men’s version; but I prefer the soothing green
packaging over the dull and boring brown packaging. Anyway it’s the same
product!
