So as you may or may not know from a previous post on my skin care (see here), I have been using Clinque's Take The Day Off Balm. I am completely obsessed with this as it is an amazing cleansing balm however I did run out a week ago, now before all the crying begins I did have a back up of a cleanser which has also been on my list to try out. This is one of those cult blogger favourites and I have always wanted to try it but it all honesty I am terrible at my skin care so I never saw a point. This cleanser is of course Liz Earle's Cleanse and Polish!
Now this retails at £15.50 at Boots, however mine was part of the limited edition range that came with two muslin cloths and so it was around the £20 mark. I must admit writing this post that I've only used this product the once however here is a mini review. So first up I had no idea how many pumps of this to use so I opted for 2, it is a nice creamy consistency that was easy to apply and massage to the face. The first negative I found was the smell, I disliked it immediately. The classic scent of Rosemary, Chamomile, Cocoa butter, Eucalyptus essential oils did not smell of anything cleansing or soothing to me, in comparison the TLDO balm smelt if anything of soap! Overall, both cleaners do what they say on the tin, I love the fact that they take make up off so easily and makes your skin feel as clean as a whistle!
Whilst I love taking my make-up off it does tend to make me sleepy so its something I like to do right before bed, hair up and PJ's on. Both Cleansers are within £5 difference of each other and whilst I can imagine the balm lasted longer than the cleanser will I am willing to give it a try.
Any other cleansers I should add to my list?
That's all for now guys!
