Liz Earle Review - Monthly Essentials

I have been using Liz Earle's cleanser, toner and moisturiser for many years and I don't think I will change my routine any time soon. I first started using it when my Mum did and I was probably in my early teens at the time. She bought it from QVC and advised me to give it a go when I began moaning about my spotty teenage skin. At the time I couldn't believe how much she was paying for "face wash" and it wasn't until I got a bit older that I realised it is definately worth it and not really that pricey.

I had a break from it when my Mum stopped buying it for me and looked for a cheaper alternative. But I found myself in the Liz Earle shop in Leeds about 2 years ago and have never looked back!

I always purchase the Monthly Essentials online because it seems to be the best value for money. You get cleanser with 2 cloths, toner and moisturiser and then something extra as a free gift which this month was the face exfoliator and skin tonic spritzer. Top it off with free delivery and for £45 I think it is great value for money.

Here are the 3 items I use twice daily. The hot cloth cleanser, skin tonic toner and skin repair moisturiser.
If i have had heavy eye makeup on I will remove this first with Liz Earle's Eyebright eye make up remover. This often comes as the freebie which is great. I just put a bit on a cotton pad and sweep it over my eyes. I then go in with my 'Cleanse and Polish'. I find that one full pump is enough for me and you just rub it on to DRY skin. This can be a bit strange to get used to. Keep rubbing it into your face until you look like something from halloween. Next take one of the face cloths and run it under hot water. Wipe it over your face to gently remove the cleanser and rinse and repeat if you need.

The next step is toner. This helps to hydrate the skin and give it an instant boost as it says on the tin. Again take a cotton pad and sweep over the entire face to remove any last traces of makeup and leave your face feeling ultimately refreshed.

I always give my skin a few seconds to dry and then dispense a generous pump of moisturiser in to my fingertips and massage on to my face to finish off. By now your skin should feel amazing! Mine definitely does. Ahhhh...

Liz Earle recommend you to do these 3 steps morning and night for best results. I think these products are great. I don't suffer with breakouts and the pure muslin cloths help to keep away blackheads with gentle exfoliation. It would take something incredible to take me away from my Liz Earle routine. It has such a nice calming, fresh scent and you have a choice of moisturiser for your skin type. I use the light one which is for combination/oily skin and there is another for normal/combination skin.

The products will last you one month with twice daily use but I do find mine last just that bit longer. I seem to run out of toner first so often purchase an extra as back up when i receive a free delivery email :)

This months free gift was an exfoliator and it is the first time I have used it. It makes my skin feel really soft and smooth and i have been using it up to 3 times a week because my skin tends to get too dry if i use an exfoliator every day. I will be repurchasing another when this one runs out as I am really enjoying it.

The skin tonic spritzer is just the same as the toner in a small handy bottle which will be great to refresh my skin on my summer holiday (in January) and keep it hydrated.

Have you used Liz Earle before? If not I would definitely recommend you try it because it has a very appealing price tag and it may become your favourite too!

You can buy it from Liz Earle shops, QVC and larger Boots stores. But as I said the Monthly Essentials online always comes with a free gift and free delivery. Who doesn't love a freebie?

Thanks for reading, bye for now
