    Not botanics, but the best affordable substitute for the Liz Earls is No 7's Hot Cloth Cleanser. Its the biz. :)

    I've used a few Botanics things, the facewash and the hair serum I think, neither stood out for me.

    I just remembered my friend saying she has the Botanics cleansing balm and she loves it! Might be worth a try for you. :)

    Its this one:

    I use it on my acne-prone skin and it's amazing, although I haven't used Liz Earle. I'd say a tub will last me two months of once a day use.

    I bought lots of muslin in Hickeys because I like to use a fresh cloth every day, what do most people do?

    You can buy packs of six large muslin squares in the baby aisle at Tesco. I wouldn't use it more than once without running it through the wash either.

    I don't bother with toner, I think a splash with cool water is as effective.

    I use the No. 7 hot cloth cleanser and I love it. I know you've said you don't and you want recommendations on Botanics so this isn't a cleanser but the Botanics Face Super Balm is soooo good! Especially in winter if you get any lil dry patches. It's great.
