    Hi
    My skin is sensative and has come up a bit red from the tesco stuff - but also mine smells really musty and a bit mouldy - is this normal or does yours smell fresh??
    Also how often do you wash your muslin cloths - I rinse mine out in v hot water but haven't put it through the washing machine yet?
    Thanks

    I don't think it smells as nice as LE or the old one, don't know about musty though.

    I wash in machine at least once a week.

    Just throw them in with the towels on a 60 wash.

    Have to say it doesn't smell as nice and fresh as LE. I think it smells a bit like stale beer - thankfully the smell doesn't linger

    Now I use the supersize muslins from the baby section in boots. I use one a week as its so big you rarely use the same spot twice. But the little ones Id change every couple of days - esp if wearing make up daily or applying face packs

    Edited to add that they do take a good boil now and then - just bung in a saucepan with a bit of soap powder and boil for 10 mins. Really softens them up nicely
