Making us look amazing and feel even better about ourselves, ELEMIS is offering its Pro-Radiance Illuminating Flash Balm in limited Pink Edition tube this October. With a commitment to donate £10,000 in support of Breast Cancer Care, research, early detection and treatment, one of my favorite British brands is making sure those who deserve to glow the most, are top priority. While normally, I look horrible in pink, the Flash Balm is my jam, haute pink packaging and errthang.
A true multi-tasker this crafty ELEMIS formula fits into any routine and every skin type. Applied daily, it counteracts the first signs of aging and makes for a fantastic a lightweight moisturizer. You can also use it as a makeup primer or an emergency treatment for when your complexion needs a boost of radiance. Technically, it’s probably of the most universal products ever made.
Fueled by nourishing botanicals, the ELEMIS Pro-Radiance flash balm includes Purple Orchid, Noni and Acai Extracts to brighten, tighten and protect the skin from environmental aggressors. Gently exfoliating, the Noni Fruit acids smooth out and firm dull skin, while Vitamins B3 and C lock in moisture and help even out the skin tone. The perfect balance of soothing Rice Bran Oil and light reflecting Silk Mica leave behind a finish that is slightly dewy yet far from shiny. No sparkle. Please, it’s 2015, shimmer is just wrong.
How do you use this ELEMIS gem? Try it out as a moisturizer — in the summer months, it’s just great under an SPF on my combination skin. If your skin is on the dry side, apply the Pro-Radiance Illuminating Flash Balm on top of your day ceram. Those who wear makeup, you have options: use the balm as a primer for smoother application and longevity or dab some on top of your cheekbones after work if you’re going out to revive your look.
If you don’t bounce back to perfection after travel or late nights (speaking from experience here), the ELEMIS Flash Balm is extremely helpful. Phenomenal as a rejuvenating mask, it can be worn in-flight, after a long haul, before an event (thick layer wiped off after 15 minutes) or overnight (MAJ). It’s super portable. P.S. Its scent is an acquired taste but I happen to be a huge fan.
The Pink Edition of ELEMIS Pro-Radiance Illuminating Flash Balm comes with a handy travel case with a zipper closure and just so happens to fit a mini tablet or a Kindle. With October almost over, treat yourself to this classic formula and support the extraordinary work Breast Cancer Care does.
$50 (50ml) available at timetospa.com, dermstore.com and lookfantastic.com.
