BB Cream

BB Cream

The concept came from the Asian market, magazines / blogs cant stop reviewing them and all the big beauty brands have made them a focal part of their range. So, what actually is a BB Cream?

Some companies refer to them as Beauty Balms , others as Blemish Balms, but the general opinion is that they should provide moisture, SPF protection and sheer coverage alongside soothing and healing properties – preventing the need for numerous separate products.

The likeness to tinted moisturisers has been noted, but BB creams are designed to go one step further – with additions such as hyaluronic acid and antioxidants to regenerate skin. Originally created by dermatologists for patients who had gone through laser skin surgery, the idea is that they actually provide genuine benefits for the skin – as well as providing enough coverage to be used as either a foundation or a primer.

So what BB Cream would you recommend over the competition?
