The newest craze in skincare are the BB creams. Or,
Originally known as “ Blemish Balm”.
A blend of sunscreen,moisturizer and foundation all roled into one . The
concept gained popularity in Asia where women take exceptionally good care of their
skin. Originally designed by a German Dermatologist for treatment after laser
treatments to help hydrate and heal the skin.
I call this a life saver! BB Creams are like a tinted
moisturizer with added benefits. The new age of BB creams are tailored for
every skin care need. Spf’s of all ranges, Anti ageing ingredients,skin
lightening ingredients etc etc . You can find a BB cream for just about any
skin type,color and need out there. That is why this can become almost as
complicated as choosing all of your other skin care products.
Once you have found your perfect BB Cream you really have
found your one stop solution for your DAYTIME skin care. I say daytime because these
creams are wonderful for the busy woman on the go who does not have time in the
morning for a complicated skin care routine. Or ,for that woman who doesn’t wear
make up much but could sure use some coverage. Most BB creams are weightless.
You do not feel like your wearing much more than a moisturizer after applying
one. Yet you now have your slight coverage,your sunscreen,and your anti ageing
treatment. At night,you can put on your repairing serums and your repairing
night creams.
I am listing the following two brands that have some of the
highest ratings of all BB Creams. When choosing one of these,please take care
to read up on it and choose the one you feel would best suit your needs. Do not
waste time on a cheep cream as it is likely to have too many chemicals in it.
You want a product that boasts good wholesome natural ingredients. Spend a bit
more if you have to. In the long run you save simply because you will have two
or three items rolled into one.
