Hot Cloth Cleansers are my absolutely favourite way to remove makeup and give my skin a deap clean with just one product. Basically what they are is a very thick cream that you apply and massage into your skin and remove with a hot muslin cloth, Simples...
Here's my little comparison of two popular HCCs
Price - £13 for 100ml of Liz Earle with muslin
- around £11 for 125ml of The Sanctuary (but you can get it for £6 with those money off vouchers
that boots are always handing out) with muslin
Smell - Liz Earle smells herbally and a little medicinally, pleasant though
- The Sanctuary is also medicinally and herbally but definately not as nice
Texture - Both exactly the same, a very thick and rich cream
Packaging - Liz Earle is simple, clean and mature
- The Sanctuary's packaging is similar but comes in a gorgeous pistachio green box (which
unfortunately my camera doesn't pick up) but it's pretty

Performance - Liz Earle removes all my makeup (inc. black mascara) in one go... My skin feels clean and
moisturised - so much so that i don't even apply moisturiser after. Wonderful
- The Sanctuary removes all my makeup and doesn't dry out my skin either. But wait... ten
minutes later my face turns bright red and feels insanely hot! I pressume i must have had
an allergic reaction to one of the ingredients and that NEVER happens to me :(
So i have to say that the Liz Earle is still my favourite - mainly as my face doesnt turn like a tomato after using it but hey i still think that The Sanctuary is a pretty good product and if your on a budget it's definately worth picking up, but for me i'm sticking to Liz...
Oh, great post. I am trying to use up all my cleansers (incl back ups) to start using liz earle. Your post convinces me ! Thanks :)
