what is it about eve lom cleanser?

[cheeryface]

that makes it better than others? i have heard lots of people rave about it!!

I shall pursue... (am leaving job with Posh Freebie Skincare soon, alas, and will be back to having to Spend Own Money ).

"i use one by a funky little Welsh company that's packed with lovely orange oil at the moment."

come on MI, spill, what is this product please?

It's the 'sweet orange cleansing cream' (although it's much oilier than a cream) from akaumuti. I found the company ages ago!

I have Posh Freebie Skincare thanks to DP's job and Best Gay Friend who is head honcho Europe of the world's no 1 luxury skincare company...

BUT I still prefer Sensifluid

katierocket - yes, well I'm just completely disabused these days... most of it is marketing hot air . Not many products live up to their promises (though I do at least know the ones that do).

That website looks interesting Motherinferior. Have you tried any of the other products? (I'm interested in the shea butter)

I slather the shea butter onto my feet and lips - it is gloriously, exuberantly thick and greasy (you can tell I've been working on a women's mag, can't you ?). I might try the rose oil too...

i really don't think the eve lom is a rip-off, tbh. one tub lasts me 6 months, and it's not £60 it's £48. i interviewed eve once, back in my days of freebie skincare, and she was very genuine imo. plus if you look at the range it's v small in comparison to all the other 'you must buy the serum plus the moisturiser' stuff. i've tried them all, believe me, i used to give creme de la mer away to my mates, but eve lom is something i now pay for.

it is very good indeed

but liz eale also fab

have just ordered more of the latter

liz earle is not bad, definitely, but i prefer the vaseliney-ness of the eve lom because i use it before going into the shower and then take it off. liz earle was too liquidy and stung my eyes.

ah you poor baby

i agree, eve lom better, moe luxurious, prettier packaging

i buy ms lom when feeling extravagant, liz e the est of thetime

this eve lom sounds like something that would break out my skin if i even laid eyes on it.

i'm quite tempted by the M&S one, i'll have a look. they're pretty good at ripping off products. i wish LE was just a leetle bit more like EL, then i'd buy it no problem. i used to know the main pharma-person at LE, she's a jock, and she was BRILLIANT if you needed some advice, she'd just send you the products if you said 'blah blah blah dry skin etc'.

might try the Ultrabland next time we go into Glasgow.

it's pretty cheap so won't feel bad if it's not so good and can use it on the girls.

Can I just ask someone who has been using the eve lom - do you really need to follow the instructions about massaging into your face? I seem to have real problems doing them (and the instruction leaflet is now ruined from me doing it in the shower!)

So, really what I am asking is, if you are as lazy as me and just want to spread it on and hot cloth it off will I see any results or should I just go back to those cleansing wipes that are like baby wipes?!?!

I am positively evangelical about the Eve Lom cleanser. Am not averse to spending loads on emperor's new clothes-style facial whatnots and that is one I feel for me that totally justifies the cost time and time again.

I don't bother with all the pressure points massage type stuff: just spread it on, massage it in well in a sort of circular-y type way and then put a hot cloth on and wipe off. If I'm feeling particlarly scrupulous I will do a cold cloth after.

I think you do have to be quite careful about washing the cloths quite often and not using the same manky one day after day...

I had a genuinely qualified medical doctor tell me in front of witnesses that she could not believe I was 43 the other day as I looked years younger (pats dewy Eve Lom skin in a happy manner!)

Hi Anchovy - thanks so much. will continue with use then and sod the complicated facial work out! I have been using it daily and not sure if I am over doing it. Very new to it and feel like I have joint an exclusive club as it is my most expensive beauty purchase ever (I normally use the super market stuff)

it says on the destructions that once your skin is good just to do the routine once a week. i kinda do a rough version every time, but just quickly while i'm rubbing it in anyway, a bit of lymphatic drainagey stuff.
