Liz Earle Naturally Active Skincare blog

It’s been a busy few weeks. Last week we were all on the Island to tape some footage for our QVC shows. The last time we did this was in 2002, so our programme inserts needed a freshening up. We wanted to bring the Island to life in just a few seconds of air-time, so we set up locations around Ryde beach, our original beachfront HQ and all around Kim’s lovely garden (where many of the botanicals for our shows are grown). QVC sent a great production team and the weather was very kind, giving us beautiful sunny days and stunning pinky purple sunsets stretching far across the Solent.These new clips will hopefully be ready for our QVC ‘special day’ (those familiar with QVC-speak will know exactly what this code phrase means!!) which starts at midnight on Saturday 5th July – do tune in during the day if you can and catch a glimpse of our beautiful beach and Island home.

Unfortunately the great British weather was somewhat less kind earlier this week, when the team and I headed up to the Norfolk coast to stay with my very dear friend Felicity. She’d kindly agreed we could not only come and stay with her but also use her house as a base-camp for a photo shoot on the beaches at Brancaster, (even persuading her eldest son Oli and his uni friend Sam to join us as male models). We’ve only ever taken photos on our own lovely beaches on the Isle of Wight before, so it was interesting to explore another part of the Great British coastline. The great thing about staying with good friends is that their bathrooms are inevitably filled with Liz Earle products and when we realised we’d left the crucial Sunshade behind in London it didn’t matter a bit as Felicity simply opened her bathroom cabinet and voila! Although the thunder clouds ominously loomed over us it managed to stay pretty much dry and it literally was a breath of fresh air to be working in such a stunning environment as the magnificent north Norfolk coastline. We made a date to return for the August bank holiday (along with hundreds of others I should imagine) and I really look forward to taking my two smallest down to this particularly beautiful, sand-duned beach with a bucket and spade or two.

    Hi there
    Loving the Liz Earle skincare range! Very gentle indeed.
    May i suggest two products that i would love to see in this range?
    Firstly a wash-off face wash(other than clean & polish) and also make up wipes – all the other brands on the market are way too harsh especially on the eyes.
    Thanks very much

    Thank you so much Liz Earle for providing a skin care routine which is natural, luxurious and feels like a special secret treat every morning and night.

    Hi Liz. Thank you and all at QVC for yet another smashing show. I absolutely love all your products and like many others, simply cannot do without the cleanse & polish. I particularly love watching you on QVC because of all of the great tips and ideas you share with me. Thanks for another amazing TSV and I must add, my skin at 41 appears so much better than it did 5 years ago before I had the pleasure of trying out your products for the very first time. I totally refuse to use anything else. Thank you so much xx

    Liz – So glad you enjoyed the North Norfolk coast. I’m sure lots of other LE devotees in East Anglia would love it if you organised a day here as you have done at Chewton Glen.

    Hi Liz and Team
    Looking forward to seeing what will be on your special day at QVC. I am going to stay up until after midnight on Friday with a glass our two of wine to keep me company and obviously a tight hold of my husband’s credit card !!
    I did see the other eveing a peice of new filming which looked fresh and different.Looking forwrd to seeing the other filming that has been done.
    When are we going to have an outlet of Liz Earle up here in the north ?? I think the city of York would be a wonderful location especially near the Shambles area. Lots of tourists both UK and USA visitors. York needs something new and invigorating. Please think about it.

    Hi Liz
    I was channel hopping yesterday and noticed a trailer for your ‘special’ day on QVC and think this must be one of the shoots taken from your beautiful Island. I even stopped to watch it as it really was a professional lead up to your day – beautiful and refreshing to see the quality not only in your products but in this lead in clip – will definitely watch at the weekend to see the other clips.
    I was delighted to have hopped to the channel just as this was being played. Idylic setting and everyone so happy in the sunshine :) well done. I have never been to the Island but the glimpse I have had makes brings it closer to me now. Inspiring setting for inspiring skincare.

    I absolutely LOVE Liz Earle products. I have been using the basics (cleanse, tone and moisturise) since i was 15 (i am now 20). Liz Earle helped me through teenage skin and i am confident it will keep the wrinkles at bay! have recommended Liz Earle to many of my friends and got them all hooked. i now use a range of the products and have a mini facial with them most weekends :) . Thanks xx
