What You Need To Know:

Beauty Flash Balm is a fan-favourite for a reason - and it's now even better than before.

Updated in 2022, the anti-fatigue, pro-glow balm is all about instant radiance as it's designed to illuminate and energise your complexion.

The 96% natural balm restores radiant, glowing skin using acerola seed extract, activates cell renewal with prickly pear extract and tightens and smooths your facial features with organic oat sugars for a smooth, well-rested look.

The pink-tinted colour counteracts dullness with colour correction, while the gel formula helps improve elasticity and skin firmness with sunflower unsaponifiables. Rosemary supports the process by gently tightening and toning the skin. The multitasking balm also soothes and hydrates your complexion using aloe vera, while shea butter protects against water loss. To complete the mix, the Beauty Flash Balm protects your skin with Clarins' iconic Anti-Pollution complex.

Why It's Escentual:

With four decades worth of expertise behind it, Clarins' Beauty Flash Balm has been a fan-favourite of our customers for years. But this is Clarins, and they don't settle. They continue to innovate to ensure you're getting the best Beauty Flash Balm possible. And the latest update certainly packs a punch.

The 2022 update saw the introduction of a trio of new active ingredients: acerola, barbary figs (AKA prickly pear) and sugar oats, which combine to offer improved radiance and a unique tightening effect.

But that's not all; the balm's improved texture now feels even more hydrating on your skin as it smooths over your complexion. The design features 25% recycled plastics and is completely recyclable too. All in all, loyal Beauty Flash fans will love the latest iteration of this balm just as much as every version that's come before - if not more so.

The Best Way To Use It:

The balm can be used in three different ways. To use it as a day treatment, gently smooth a very thin layer onto a cleansed face, neck and decollete after your face cream without massaging it in. To use it as a makeup base, apply over your regular skincare products before applying your foundation; alternatively, mix it in with your liquid foundation for a glowy finish. To use it as a mask, apply a thin layer to your skin two or three times a week. Leave on for 10 minutes before removing any excess with water. Then, apply your lotion with cotton pads and pat dry.

The Sustainable Side:

Held in a carton made using paper from sustainably-managed forests, the Beauty Flash Balm uses 25% recycled plastic and is fully recyclable.
