Courtin made his own treatment oils that he claimed firmed the skin, and sold them from his salon in Paris. He built up quite a fanbase, including endorsements from some big French celebrities of the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He pinched the name Clarins from a character he played in a school production, and saw it as a good luck charm. In fact, it seems he loved the name so much that he incorporated it into his own in 1978, becoming Jacques Courtin-Clarins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1980, Clarins was the top-selling luxury skincare brand in France; in 1981 it had expanded to the US; by 1990 it was the <strong>top selling brand in Europe<\/strong>; and today it is distributed to 150 countries around the world. Courtin-Clarins died in 2007 but his sons, Christian and Olivier, are now involved in carrying on the family company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, 70 years later, <strong>to celebrate their arrival in Antwerp<\/strong>, Clarins is treating the Brick members to some quality goodies in February, so keep your eyes out for yours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But it doesn\u2019t end there!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Clarins is also offering <strong>all The Brick Members a flat 20% discount<\/strong> in their beautiful monobrand indefinitely. So head on over to their beatiful new store on 28, Schuttershofstraat and give your skin the treatment it is craving during these cold winter months.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mcusercontent.com\/e102cd56754836a29924766ff\/images\/61e20de7-a4ef-83cb-b259-60f2a044d88f.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-spacer.kt-block-spacer-3771_801d65-6a .kt-block-spacer{height:20px;}.wp-block-kadence-spacer.kt-block-spacer-3771_801d65-6a .kt-divider{border-top-width:1px;height:1px;border-top-color:var(--global-palette3, #1A202C);width:100%;border-top-style:solid;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-spacer aligncenter kt-block-spacer-3771_801d65-6a\"><div class=\"kt-block-spacer kt-block-spacer-halign-center\"><hr class=\"kt-divider\"\/><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">DARE II<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s party time again.
