Whats Up With All The BB Cream Talk?


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.
