Liz Earl vs REN

Hi guys

I while a go I did a review for a REN facial exfoliator check it out here. Now when it ran out a few weeks a go I was going to repurchase but decided very unlike me to try something new, I really don't do this very often as when I love something I usually stick to it.

The reason I decided to go for the Liz Earl Gentle Face Exfoliator is simply because I love my cleanse and polish. When I first tried the cleanse and polish I wasn't bowled over but after sticking with it for a while I really started to see the benefits. The Facial Exfoliator does exactly what is says on the tin and as long as I keep up with it using it twice a week I see great benefits.

The consistency compared to the REN is slightly creamier but the particles are pretty much the same. As for effectiveness I think they are both as good as each other really I wouldn't either of them was marginality better then the other. Yes I know this isn't much of an answer but its true the main difference is the size and cost.

REN retails at £18 for 150ml and the Liz Earl £13.50 for a meanly 70ml, yep problem solved get the REN. I think for the next facial exfoliator I may try Origins Never A Dull Moment Skin Brightening Face Polisher With Fruit Enzymes. 

Whats your favourite facial exfoliator? let me know if you have tried the Origins one or know of a good review.

To REN Or Not To REN

Hi guys as I've said before I'm only just on my way down the beauty path and I'm adding new products to my regime all the time. You may have noticed that I have really dry skin so after looking at other Bloggers regimes I decided to add a facial exfoliator. This product was recommended by a lady I work with and she had tried quite a few.

REN Jojoba Microbead Purifying Facial Scrub

I am already using my Liz Earl Cleanse and Polish and look at my review of it here, but I felt like my skin still looked dry and a little flakey. So hence the need for the REN Jojoba Microbead Purifying Facia Scrub which at £18 I thought was quite reasonable.
The packaging says its a deep cleansing facial scrub formulated with micro-beads of jojoba oil that exfoliate and eliminate surface dead cells and impurities, without scratching or irritating the skin. Also contains oils of juniper and peppermint to detoxify, stimulate and refresh the complexion.

REN Facial Scrub

First lets start with the smell, its amazing! its very fresh and minty all at the same time. The texture is gritty but in a good way the exfoliating bits are very small and the picture doesn't really do it justice. It recommends that you use it 2-3 times a week, ill probably use it every other day for a few days to give my skin a good scrub and then cut back before it dries out. 


The first time I used this I used my Liz Earl cleanse and polish first and then this making sure that I worked it into the skin in circular motions. My initial reactions to this product are very positive it left my skin nice and smooth without drying it out but ill give it a good few weeks and give you a better update.
