Intro to : BB Cream




I'll start by introducing what BB cream is for those of you that don't know. Bb cream stand for Blemish Balm. Basically BB cream was originally designed as a treatment for an actress who had surgery to cover up and heal her scars or so i've read somewhere. they were first used in dermatology clinics and later was developed as an everyday product and it turned into this amazing miracle(for some people) that is a huge hit in Asia and is now growing into other countries also. It's not a foundation, but some describe it as a tinted moisturizer with healing properties. Most BB creams have spf, whitening, anti aging, moisturizing, water based and oil free. therefore it heals your skin as you wear it(protects it from the sun, evens out skin tone, heals your blemishes and prevents it from getting new ones, won't clog your pores and more!) . i've seen the changes ever since i started wearing it. i rarely get pimples or break out, and it is not harsh on my sensitive skin the product is amazing!!  there are load of different kinds and brands of bb cream. even high end companies like clinique to drugstore brands like Garnier make them(i just found out today and have yet to get a hold of one). I started using it about 4 or 5 years ago. The brand that i first used was the korean brand skin79 and have stuck to it for a while, i still use it, but i have also been using other brands. BB cream is good for people who have sensitive skin or those who like natural looking, light makeup. it gives a really healthy glow. It pretty much is an all in one product, no need for caking on layers and layers of moisturizer, sun block, acne/blemish treatment, primer, and foundation. isn't it amazing. i highly recommend it!! BB creams really vary depending on the brand or the ingridient it has, i suggest you test it out on the back of your hand if you have a chance before purchasing if it really is right for you
