These are kind of expensive but I keep buying them because I it's worth it. These cloths are great. They provide just the right amount of exfoliation. I noticed a difference when I first started using these and I really think you can use almost any cleanser as long as you use a good washcloth. I've noticed that no matter what cleanser I use (and I've tried many!) the performance of the cleanser is boosted with these cloths. So simple but it works for me. I rotate between two cloths: I'll use one for night time (when i have makeup on my face) and a second one for the morning (when my face is clean). I keep both cloths hanging in my bathroom, and when I feel the nighttime cloth gets too dirty/old (every few months), I open a new cloth and use that new one as my clean/morning cloth, and then start using my old morning cloth as my nighttime cloth. To keep them clean, I don't put them in the washing machine- I feel like they're likely to come out dirtier than they went in (mixing with all that yucky laundry water and harsh detergent? No thanks), so I just hand wash them with antibacterial soap. I've heard boiling them in hot water is good too but haven't tried it.

Best muslin cloths I've used. They get the texture balance just right, being neither too smooth nor too abrasive. They are a generous but manageable size and I find them to wash well. I use a different one each day (I bought the pack of six, plus had spares supplied with the cleanser), and chuck them in the wash at the end of the week (40 degree cycle; no fabric conditioner; allowing to air dry.)
My skin truly does feel smoother and cleaner after using these, so I consider them an investment as I don't feel the need to buy additional exfoliating products. I also find they make any cream cleanser work harder - I sometimes like to use them with the Purity Organic cleanser (£5ish from Superdrug and Holland&Barrett in the UK) as a change from the Liz Earle cleanser. (In fact, I suspect that the reason that the LE Cleanse and Polish works so well is largely down to the cloth!) continued >>

Muslin Clothes are great but I cannot see any difference between these and Superdrug Hot Cloth Cleanser (where they are attached) and its dead cheap there...

I have bought loads of these over the years and they have lasted me well. I use them for everything and they've been washed and washed and are still going strong.

Amazing. Absolutely amazing. I bought the Cleanse & Polish Starter Kit from a Liz Earle boutique in London, totally on a whim. I had hear Pixiwoo rave about it, so I figured that for £13.85, it was worth a try.
After one wash, I could honestly feel the difference in my skin's texture. I was surprised, since I have really good skin already, but the difference in the way it felt was unreal! The best part was NO REDNESS!!! I previously used washcloths and Purity, and my skin would feel smooth, but the redness after cleansing was terrible. With the cleanser and these wonderful cloths, I experience minimal redness.
I immediately went back a few days later to buy another dozen of the cloths, and they work out to just a little over $2 per cloth, even with the wretched exchange rate. Not bad at all!! continued >>

These muslin cloths have made such a difference to my skin. I use them with the Liz earle cleanse & polish. I have acne and my skin is so clear now, no breakouts. I have some scarring which is fading slowly. These cloths provide a daily gentle exfoliation without irritating your skin and they are the best I have tried. I previously was buying cheap muslin cloths from boots thinking they were the same, but they are not. I only really noticed a difference to my skin when I switched to these. A must even if you try them with your own regular cleanser. continued >>

I've tried several types of muslin cloth and this is the best. Very effective.

If you suffer from clogged pores, make-up constantly going on cakey because of your dry, flakey skin then muslin cloths is a must since they allow for very gentle exfoliation every, single day without irritating your skin (unless you have very sensitive skin).
My skin is ordinarily very clog prone, and I always have two-three active breakouts and a few healing. For the last couple of weeks when I've been using these and my Body Shop muslin cloths every, single day my skin has magically cleared up. The last breakout is just a light pink scar on my cheek that is fading with some encouragement and despite it being around that time of the month I just have one, single bump on my jaw. So, definitely love my muslin cloths in general, since they keep my skin clear (something no cleanser have achieved on its own so far and then I've tried a few).
The Liz Earle muslin cloths are very nice. They are larger, and have a bit more grip (not scratch, they are gentle when wet) to them than my Body Shop ones which allows me to be gentler with the scrubbing while getting the same result. Of course, my Body Shop ones are a few years old and have been through a few washes so that might be why they do not have as much grip to them.
I do recommend you have at least enough cloths to last you between white washes. In my case, seven is the magical number. The main reason I've not had as good results with my Body Shop cloths alone as I do now when I have the Liz Earle ones is that after three days, I just had no cloths until I washed again (I use one cloth a day). So that is definitely an important thing to keep in mind, to have enough muslin cloths on hand to last you between white washes.
With regards to washing, do make sure you wash these without any softening detergent so you don't lessen the grip, and do hang to dry or they may shrink and warp.
Anyhow, I got the dark hemmed men's version which is a beautiful reddish brown (can't stand mint green myself) but they are just the same as the women's version. Just a nice colour choice to have (got a mint green one as a GWP).
To summarise: Love these cloths, and will probably buy a few more down the line just to make sure I'm well stocked (not that I will probably need it...since a cloth generally lasts quite some time).

Fabulous - the best way to cleanse your face. Gives a gentle exfoliation that keeps skin soft and glowing. Love them and they're great value.

I use my Liz Earle muslins all the time - with my Liz Earle cleanser (when i can afford it or it's given as a gift), with Lush's Ultrabland cleanser and just as a face cloth.
It's genius - more people should know about muslin. It's gentle enough for me to use with creamy cleansers for eye make-up removal and can give the skin a good polish depending on how you handle it.
However, you can buy muslin a lot cheaper - ok, it won't have the pretty pale green stitching, but it'll do the job.

Why the hell I didn't listen to others earlier?
The cloth makes the whole magic, just grab your favourite, even inexpensive cleanser and use it in colaboration with the cloth, huge difference immediately, I stopped breaking out, because my face is finally clean. I do not use the cleanser that comes with it, it's too rich for me. I use it with a cetaphil. I take my makeup off with a make up remover, and it cleans any leftovers.
Be smarter then me and buy it, like right now ?
Will not change my mind

Remember how your mom would scrub your face with a cloth as a kid to get you squeaky clean? And then we grew up and were told that you shouldn't scrub, you pat, you rinse, you rub in circles, good god - anything but scrub. And I did for years and years, and have oily skin that could keep BP afloat in bad periods, not to mention spots and all kinds of stuff that pills couldn't fix. Well, I started scrubbing again, with muslin cloths, and steaming, with muslin cloths - and guess what. Scrubbing isn't the end all of your complexion the way some companies would have you think. As a matter of fact, if you have oily skin, I throughly recommend you buy some muslin cloths, scrub and steam the good old fashioned way. If you're like me, you'll be wondering why you ever stopped listening to mom.

I have soooooo many of these in my bathroom cupboard. I use these all the time, day and night, everyday with my cleanse and polish and you know that you've got all your make-up off. These really last for ages as well. I also love the pale green colour around the edge of them and that the mens is a darker colour.

Love it love it, once I started using this - and mind, with my normal drugstore cleaner - my skin became so much softer and smoother and my skincare products just got absorbed by my skin so much better.
It's really easy to use too, though I don't like how the make-up stains are really difficult to get off. So I'd suggest removing your makeup thoroughly before using this to wash your face.

Liz Earle definitely has some wonderful products, the polishing cleanser being a multiple award-winning product, so on and so forth, i guess everybody knows the story.
The muslin cloths are great because of their texture that gives a mild exfoliating effect, i have used them for a couple of times only and they did what they promised.
However, my dermatologist told me that removing your makeup with a hot cloth has the same effect as a mini-facial, it opens up all the pores of the skin, softening the deal cells, and combining the usual cleaning motions with the use of fabric ensures great exfoliation and removal of the impurities which emerge from the pores due to the hot water. There are many high-end products whose success is conditioned by the use of hot water- like the Liz Earle one or the Erno Laszlo cleansing 'ritual'. Dr Erno Laszlo, a Hungarian dermatologist whose products were used by Jackie Kennedy, Marilyn Monroe and many other celebrities, clearly said that the use of hot water is the best for clearing up one's skin. when you combine this with a cloth, is like the perfect remover of anything- makeup, blackheads, etc, and also a great invigorating technique- i basically see my skin emerging very bright, glowing, baby-pink, and i can really feel the heat staying on the skin, that is because the circulation is activated at a fast pace and thus improves the oxygen and nutrients changes at the level of the skin cells.
I said i wouldn't repurchase because the effect is the same whichever material you choose to use for this. Of course, Liz Earle muslin cloths are the finest and most indicated for doing so, but i don't have continuous access to the cloths, the Liz Earle products can be purchased only in Stockholm and i live 60 km south, and sometimes they are unavailable.
Not to mention the cost, which is quite high for fabric; i found out my Ikea face towel does exactly the same for much less.
I have been doing the hot towel thing for about three weeks and my skin has never been cleaner. i get minor zits, like 2 or 3 and very small, only before getting my monthly cycle, and they disappear within three or four days. My skin is baby soft, no more blackheads and less shine. Plus that i know this is the deepest way of cleaning my skin of makeup, dust, pollution, etc, and make my toner and moisturizer work at its maximum capacity. My dermatologist was right. I hope many people start doing this because it is a great way of improving your skin without the aggressive action of strong products that are meant to fight acne and oily skin. The hygiene of the skin is very important, especially when you have oily or combination skin, and this is, by far, the best way to take care of it.
I wish i knew about this before! i know it might sound dumb but that's the truth....

I love the cloths I got with my Liz Earle kit, sadly I am allergic to Liz Earle products but I must say the clothes are great- they remove all traces of makeup with minimum effort- no rubbin required.
They are a little rougher than the usual microfibre clothes I use but a lot more hygenic as they dry completely between uses than the thicker microfibres- so harder for bacteria to thrive.
I gave the packaging a 2 as I was told they would come in a zip lock re-sealable bag but they were in a plastic disposable wrapper, so can't take them anywhere. :(

Great cloths, a nice large size for washing your face (although I always find that mine shrink significantly with the first wash). I've found other cloths (Neil's Yard etc) a little small. Overall, very happy with these.

And i honestly think its down to the natural ingredients and these clothes.
Gentle yet Effoliating! Perfect for the sensitive eye area and removing makeup and everyday grime!!

These little things work wonders for keeping my skin clear. Only advice, don't wash them with fabric softner. It does what it's supposed to, and lessens the exfloiating effect.

I absolutely love these, I received one of these in a swap and have been hooked since, I ordered myself some more because now they're an everyday must have. They exfoliate while cleaning and leave my skin feeling amazing. They're a little on the expensive side but are totally worth it, they seem to last a long time, I started using these about two months ago and mine still have a bite to them.
