When you go into Boots it is easy to get overwelmed by sheer choice of items. As I am on a strict-ish budget going to a spa or getting a facial done on a regular basis is a no-no so I decided to D.I.Y.
I was given £5.00 off No7 and decided that a £4.00 for 200ml I wouldn't be able to find anything like No7 so bought it (before discount price £9.00).
So novices how does Hot Cloth treatments work? You apply the creamy (very nice smelling) cleanser to your face massaging it in using circular movements. It's applied to dry skin. Once it's applied, you run the cloth under hot (not boiling) and then place it on your face (ideally covering the majority of your face). You then sit back and let the cloth and cleanser work on your face. You then remove any excess cleanser left by washing your face with water.
How did I find the experience? The cleanser I found started to literally started disappearing into my skin before using the cloth revealing that my skin was clearly dry and needed hydration. Although it was recommended to use the cloth just the once, I found using the cloth twice on my face was very benefical to my skin as the cleanser that was remaining from the first application disappeared on the second application of the hot cloth. Plus I enjoyed the hot cloths feel on my skin, and found the cloth went cold very quickly, thus I rinsed it and ran it under hot water again.
My skin felt not only clean, but soft after the application. I often have a shining T-zone, however after the treatment I noticed it wasn't that shiny.
The packaging of the product is simple, yet elegant which in my opinion sums up the No7 packing for all its products.
Is this produce worth the price? Yes, without a doubt. I looked around Boots at other Hot Cloth Cleansers and found this one more economical.
After using this product 3 times, I have noticed I am using less and less of it, prehaps that is a sign it is working on my skin?
The cloth at first seemed a bit rough, however it now feels much better (and smoother) so maybe it would benefit from a prewash.
I would recommend this product to my friends and family, and have already recommended it to my mum. I'm in my twenties, and this product has suited me very nicely. Mum is in her late forties and says she liked the feeling of her skin (soft) after the first application. This product will last for ages.
I would buy this at full price too if need be, however everytime I now get hold of a £5.00 off No7 I know what to buy.
