Clarins Beauty Flash Balm

After reading about this iconic beauty product in the Clarins range and hearing the excellent reviews, I thought it was time that I tried it out for myself.

I decided to conduct an experiment and swap my normal moisturiser for this little gem for only three out of the seven days of the week. On the days that I used the Beauty Flash Balm, I received so many compliments on how great my skin looked. The majority viewpoints were that I looked “radiant”, “glowing” and “just healthier”. That’s when you know that a product is fabulous.

Clarins Beauty Flash Balm gives immediate radiance once used. It brightens the face and tightens the skin. It contains olive extract and witch hazel that enhances the tightening effect; algae extract which revitalises; and bisabolol that soothes and softens the skin.

After cleansing and toning thoroughly, apply a thin layer of the moisturiser over the face, neck and eye area. Do not massage into the skin. Apply your makeup immediately and watch your skin slowly start to become luminous. This multi-tasking wonder can be used as a primer, moisturiser and a facial mask. If you want to use it as a mask, leave it on your face for 10-15 minutes and then wash off. With the heavenly, luxurious scent this product has, you’ll want to keep it on for hours.

I’d recommend Clarins Beauty Flash Balm for a busy day ahead, or an evening out. It is possible to get addicted to this product. This review is the proof - so-long tired-looking skin!

Cost: R365
