Yes, it’s the middle of August and I’m currently sweltering in my 30-degree living room, but the have already started trickling in. We’ve rounded up the best ones to keep an eye on, and while most of these are available on a waitlist-only basis, the Liz Earle advent calendar is officially available to shop - . Liz Earle was the first brand I ever tried - its bestselling to be specific.
The process of lathering the luxuriously-scented cream on my skin, warming the muslin cloth under running water and wiping it off was just about the most elegant I had ever felt, aged 16. The fact that I wasn’t wearing any make-up to remove for the first year I used it was neither here nor there. I’ve continued to use and love the iconic cream cleanser for years (and can now confirm, it’s great at removing my make-up too), so the fact that it’s included in this year’s Liz Earle advent calendar fills me with early Christmas joy.
It goes without saying that the entire advent calendar will be packed full of skincare heroes. The calendar features 12 full size and deluxe sample products, including a Cleanse & Polish, the Cleanse & Glow Transforming Gel Cleanser and the best-selling Eyebright Soothing Eye Lotion. I’ve had my eye on the Cleanse & Glow for a while now, so I’m excited to try it out.
I can genuinely see myself using every single product in this line up. As a single-brand advent calendar, it’s set to be a stunner - and at under £80, it's a relatively affordable one .
