CLARINS Beauty Flash Balm is the ultimate pick-me-up for tired, stressed skin.

CLARINS Beauty Flash Balm helps eliminate signs of fatigue in a flash! Instantly moisturizes, brightens and tightens facial contours so skin looks rested and relaxed. Olive and Witch Hazel extracts help smooth the skin’s surface, diffusing the look of lines and wrinkles. Soothing Bisabolol helps restore skin’s youthful glow. Preps skin for perfect make-up application and hours of luminous wear. 

How to apply

Apply morning or evening, after thorough cleansing and toning, apply (without massaging) a very thin layer over the face, neck and eye area. Apply make-up immediately, if desired. Beauty Flash Balm can also be used as a facial mask 2 or 3 times a week.

This is an amazing product

I was a bit skeptical when the sales lady told me about this amazing cream. A cream that I could use as an instant pick me up for my skin and even the delicate skin around the eyes (very appealing given the amount of travel and late nights I do and have) and an occasional mask. I ended up buying it because that would bump my purchase up to a level where I received a great little Clarins gift bag of goodies, and it was a little while before I used it.

Then one day when I was getting myself ready for work I felt my skin looked flat and I looked tired, so I got out the beauty flash balm. It's been a regular part of my morning routine since and I'm on to my third tube. I really love it. It does perk my face up and it really does provide a nice base for make-up. It is a bit on the expensive side, so I don't use it at night and nor do I use it as a mask.

Tips: Use it sparingly - a little goes a long way as you just need to spread it thinly over your skin. I do my face, neck and back of neck with about a .5cm dollop.

It does pick you up

Years ago I worked in a clarins salon, so I used all of their products. These days the only reminder of those days is my Clarins beauty flash balm. Many other companies have similar products but this one works for me. I use it when I am wearing full make-up for a special night out, it make my make-up stay fresh all night. I also use it after a night out as a pick me up mask.

Tips: It is really important not to rub it in, it is tempting to do so but it doesn't work properly. Also you only need a little bit, use too much and it won't absorb properly.

love it!

I love this product! It makes your skin looks amazing and feel so soft! It was always a must have when I lived in the UK, but now, it is expensive, so would have to be considered a luxury item!

Beauty Balm

Very easy to use, feels good. Has a very nice feel, not too heavy, I pat it on as per beauticians instructions. Good under make up.

Tips: Pat it on as per beauticians instructions, rather than rub in.

Great!

I love this stuff! It is my mums and I always use it. I know that my mum loves it and even I love it. I apply this all the time morning or night, its not too heavy and not too light. It tightens my face while nourishing it. It leaves a nice dewy finish. I can wear this on its own or even under foundation. Its definitely worth the money!

Great Product

This product I first got as a tester and then purchased the full size. Absolutely love the feel of it on the skin. It's a great primer under a BB cream or on it's own for a fresh look. Definitely makes me feel a bit more glowy on a day where my skin looks dull.

I don't use it as an everyday primer as it's a very expensive product, but still love it!

Tips: Warm the product in your hands then pat on your face.

3 in 1

I've only used this product because I use to work for Clarins. If I knew what I knew now I would have used it a long time ago. It does exactly what it says it does. I love it mainly because its a 3 in 1. A make up primer, a radiance booster and a mask. What more do you need for your regular routine!

Tips: A tip I found most helpful and this goes for a lot of Clarins skin products, is the method of application. You only need a small amount to start, warm it on your finger tips and then apply using a tapping motion all over the face. Do not rub it in, especially if you are using it as a make up primer because when you come to apply your foundation its rolls off your face. So tap to apply! If you want to use it as a mask just apply a thicker layer and leave it on for 10 minutes,

Does what it says!

I have used a few balms to secure make up for the day. Having combination skin, usually dry in the morning and through out the day its visible where my oily areas are. I use a stick foundation as I prefer the coverage. I used Clarins Beauty flash balm and loved it. I've now been using for a few years and I feel it secures my make up through out the day. It doesn't make my skin feel sticky or heavy and I like the consistency of it. Clarins is a wonderful brand with a great variety.

Tips: Dont wear every day otherwise your skin gets use to it and can dry your skin out. I would recommend paying attention to where your make up wears off throughout the day and so, you know where to really apply your beauty flash balm.

Oldie but a goodie

I have used this product off and on for years and still love it. I usually use it when my skin needs a bit of extra tlc as I find it makes my skin look plump and glowing. I've never used it as a mask as I think the price is a bit high to use the product in that way. I usually buy this online when I can get it for a good price. The packaging is standard Clarins - white tube with red writing. The product is an pale orange colour but you can't see this once you have applied it. I love this product - time to buy some more I think!

Tips: A little goes a long way.

In a flash

A white squeezable tube red printing packaging is so so wouldn’t get excited about it or the box it comes in.

The cream it’s self is a pale apricot, the fragrance is fresh and creamy pleasant enough but nothing to write home about and it fades pretty quickly.

I use this nearly every day I pop it over my moisturiser as a primer for under my makeup or just as a light blur.

During the day if I need refreshed I pat a small amount on my face over my foundation and powder and I sort of get a wee makeup pick me up. A little glow on.

As a face mask I cleanse then put a reasonable amount on my face and neck (don’t forget your neck, it is seriously the first place to show your age) let it have a good soak for ten to fifteen minutes. Rinse it all off with warm water and a face cloth then follow with moisturiser. In the morning if my skin looks a little tired or I’m a bit off colour this has been a life saver, just to brighten my skin.

Till I did this review I didn’t realise how much I use it, also a tube lasts I’m yet to buy a full size as I always get it with gift with purchase. I’d recommend this, its subtle but it’s good.

Tips: Try it as a skin pick me up in the morning
