“I have heard rave reviews on Clarins Beauty Flash Balm for quite some time now and after two years I decided to take the plunge. It is not particularly a balm, as the name suggests, but rather a lotion. It smells nice, feels good on my skin (it does not react badly), and it leaves my skin glowing and looking fresh. Wearing it underneath my foundation and alone, I have received compliments on my skin and have been told I look healthier and fresh. I enjoy wearing it on makeup-free days, where I simply wear this alone or with SPF. The packaging is handy too - it comes in a tube so it is hygienic and good to pack with you when travelling. I can't say that I rave about this product but I am happy with the results, I like the idea of the product and what it is designed to do, and I would most likely purchase again in future.”
