If you’re looking to downsize the skin care products in your morning routine, then consider trying BB cream.
Otherwise known as blemish balm or beauty balm, BB cream is a makeup product formulated with skin care benefits that include hydration, anti-aging properties, and SPF protection.
Not sure if BB cream is right for you? Read on to learn about its benefits and how best to use, plus a few product recommendations to get you started.
The best way to describe BB cream? It’s an all-in-one product for your skin. In one bottle, you get the benefits of two or three different products. This means that you’re not only saving time, but you’re also saving money.
Here are three other reasons to choose a BB cream as your base.
BB Cream vs. Foundation
Similarly to a foundation, BB creams vary in coverage, color, and finish (matte, natural, or dewy). But unlike a makeup foundation, which focuses solely on color and coverage, a BB cream goes a step further with added skincare benefits, such as hydration and sun protection. "The main benefit of BB cream is that it offers a sheer source of hydration," says Sir John.
It is easy to confuse BB cream for CC cream, and while they are both beneficial to the skin, they actually combat different issues. "BB cream is a light coverage foundation with a focus of added skincare benefits, while a CC cream's focus is to color correct," says Gomila. "You can use a CC cream as a primer to correct dark spots and redness and balance your overall skin tone by using this under your normal foundation."
Clinique Latest Age Defense BB Cream SPF 30 [For normal skin]
Women do not only have to look after their skin health but also have to keep a close eye on aging signs.
Clinique Latest Age Defense BB Cream with SPF 30 is a gift for the women who are keen about preventing the aging signs in their early 30s.
Clinique products are always allergy tested which means their BB cream has also gone through the same process. Clinique Latest Age Defense BB Cream offers SPF protections, coverage for imperfections and antioxidants to prevent uneven skin tone.
I have found this to be a great primer as well. It comes in 3 shades, given 1 to be for the fair complexion and 3 for dark.
You may feel the skin appearing stark white, but give it a few minutes, it will absorb and get started on fulfilling the functions of a BB cream.
As it is designed for summers, so you cannot use it in winters because it won’t moisturize the skin but make it dry even for the oily skin.
It has a number of ingredients, more than I have ever come across in a BB cream.
However, it does not fulfill the requirements of all skin tones as there are only 3 shades available. So, kindly check the sample before spending on the purchase.
What BB Cream Does for the Skin
The BB creams of today have evolved since they were first developed. Schrammek's version of BB cream was originally designed to help with post-treatment sensitivity, but what made BB creams pick up in popularity in recent years was their ability to streamline your routine.
So, what does BB cream do? Instead of using a separate moisturizer and foundation, you can just use a BB cream. "Ideally they would be applied after serums and gels, and before any makeup," says dermatologist Dr. Rachel Nazarian. "Sunscreen is often included, to avoid the confusion of whether to apply over or under this tinted layer." For those BB creams that do not include SPF, you'll still need to wear a separate sunscreen for full protection. Some formulas don't stop there, though. If you have any additional skin concerns—like shine or breakouts—you can easily find a blemish balm formula with bonus ingredients to address those, too.
If your skin needs extra hydration due to past laser treatment, BB cream is a great moisturizing and protective option. "I recommend using a BB cream that contains SPF, glycerine and niacinamide if you are using it to restore skin treated with lasers," says makeup artist Ashley Gomila.
Ponds White Beauty BB & Fairness Cream [For Oily Skin]
Almost all the creams and foundations from Ponds come in tube form, so does this one.
Ponds White Beauty BB & Fairness Cream may look thick but it blends smoothly with the skin and takes no time in absorbing.
You just have to take a small amount of the cream and spread it evenly all over the face and neck.
With SPF 30 it protects the skin from UV rays, so it can be worn comfortably throughout the day. A good thing about Ponds White Beauty BB & Fairness Cream is that it does not feel heavy on the face and you won’t even realize that you are wearing something on your face.
However, it only comes in natural cover but I guess it is suitable for our Pakistani skin tones. You won’t find something like this in a pretty packing with nominal price.
Wearing makeup has become a necessity today, so why not get the makeup look with a well-balanced and result oriented BB cream.
However, get the shades as per your skin tone or you might leave a white cast on your face.
