The best Liz Earle routine for every skin type & concern
We’ve got BIG news! Liz Earle just landed on Debenhams.com, home to bestselling botanical beauty that works wonders on face & body. A trailblazer in the industry since 1995 and still going strong today, Liz Earle crafts cruelty-free and sustainable skincare to deliver results you can see and feel, famed for its iconic Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser.
If you’re new to Liz Earle, or just want to know which products will suit you best, you’re in the right place. We’ve set out a series of routines based on your skin type and concern, so you can find the formulas your complexion will thank you for.
Best for dry skin
If your skin appears tight, flaky or coarse, you likely have a dry skin type, meaning your skin naturally produces less oil. Dry skin types benefit from additional doses of moisture, richer or thicker textures, and overnight skincare that works as you sleep to deliver deep hydration.
Liz Earle has a product to meet all these expectations. A universal staple for all skin types, the Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser removes daily dirt & impurities without stripping the skin of essential moisture, followed by the Instant Boost Skin Tonic Toner to soothe, refresh & replenish thirsty skin.
We always recommend adding a quenching serum to your routine for an extra surge of moisture – like the Repair Hydrating Serum, enriched with snow mushroom to help condition multiple surface layers of skin.
For the AM, the Skin Repair Rich Cream offers 72 hours of intense hydration, thanks to plant-based hyaluronic acid, borage seed oil and avocado oil. For night, Skin Repair Hydrating Night Cream is packed with all the naturally active ingredients you need for plump, hydrated skin come morning.
Best for oily & blemish-prone skin
Oily skin types typically produce more sebum than average, resulting in excess shine across the complexion. This sebum oil may get lodged inside the pores, causing blemishes to surface more frequently.
Universally loved, begin with the Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser for a fresh canvas, followed by the Instant Boost Skin Tonic Toner to rebalance. We also recommend adding the Gentle Face Exfoliator into your routine to help draw out pore-clogging impurities while removing dulling dead skin cells.
Less is more when it comes to an oily skincare routine. Swap out any rich day creams to a lighter gel formula – like the Skin Repair Gel Cream. 72-hours of shine-free hydration is perfect for rebalancing your complexion, while the lightweight texture resists clogging pores and absorbs fast, without leaving a greasy film.
Best for combination skin
Somewhere between dry and oily sits combination skin, adopting traits of both skin types. Often, combination skin types will experience an oily T-zone with dryer cheeks, although it can be the other way around.
To combat both concerns, you need a balanced routine. The Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser and Instant Boost Skin Tonic Toner are great for oily and dry skin types, making them more than suitable for combination skin.
Try the Gentle Face Exfoliator to remove excess oil and impurities from the T-zone, without stripping the skin of essential moisture. To soften those dry areas while you sleep, we love Superskin Concentrate for PM routines, enriched with argan and organic rosehip oils alongside a soothing essential oil trio.
Opt for nothing too heavy for your daily moisturiser – like the Repair Gel Cream, designed for 72-hour lightweight hydration.
Best for sensitive skin
For sensitive skin that appears red, flaky and reactive, it can be a little tricky to find new products that work for you.
Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser is suitable for sensitive skin too, featuring nourishing cocoa butter to hydrate while cleansing complexions of pollutants and makeup.
Sensitive skin types benefit from minimalist, pared-back routines. So keep it simple and finish with the Superskin Moisturiser, featuring a fragrance-free formula packed with firming pomegranate flower extract and a pure plant oil blend of cranberry, rosehip and nutritious British borage seed.
Best for mature skin
Although not technically a skin type, mature skin develops a different set of wants and concerns as we grow older. Mature skin naturally produces less collagen and loses its elasticity, making fine lines and wrinkles more visible, as well as experiencing dullness, sagging, pigmentation & volume depletion.
If you’re on the lookout for a new mature skin routine, we’re big fans of the Liz Earle Superskin range. It’s designed specifically for mature concerns, including loss of moisture, uneven texture and tone, and lack of radiance and volume. Think: a range to deliver smoother, firmer, plumper skin while keeping hydration topped up through a nourishing blend of plant-based oils.
Best for dull skin
Skin a little lacklustre? Get an instant brightening boost from the Liz Earle Glow range, formulated to gently resurface and hydrate for an illuminated complexion. Dull, tired skin will benefit from vitamin C-rich acerola cherry, exfoliating prickly pear and replenishing sea buckthorn, offering the perfect blend of moisture & radiance.
