First, what is a BB Cream?
Well, BB Cream (or "blemish balm" cream) is one of Asia's hottest beauty products that is slowly making it`s way to North America. It is said that the formula originally comes from Germany where Dermatologists prescribed it for patients to heal laser skin surgery because of it`s soothing and skin-regenerating properties. Famous Korean actresses them began using it for beauty purposes and because Asian dramas are huge, a craze was born. The Korean cosmetics industry took the idea and ran with it, creating various different BB creams that have skin benefits such as SPF, whitening (brightening), anti-wrinkle, and nutrients to help improve the health of your skin.
What exactly does BB Cream do?
BB creams sold today are suitable for all skin types and are targeted to those who have sensitive and acne-prone skin. BB creams have the advantages of both skin care and make-up, and improves the skin's condition and evens out the skin tone while providing coverage for dark spots and other blemishes. BB creams provide a very natural "no make-up" look with the added benefit of UV protection. BB cream is basically an all-in-one cosmetic beauty and skincare product and depending on the brand, can act as foundation. concealer, sunblock and moisturizer all in one.
I actually discovered BB Cream by accident - while doing a swap on MUA (Makeup Alley). Once I tried the product (Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream in shade 21), I was definitely impressed. My skin looked radiant yet it didn't look (or feel) like I had make-up on. I looked like myself, only better because the little skin imperfections and discolorations were mostly covered up.
I've ordered some other brands of BB cream and am looking forward to being able to give them a try. Where to buy? I would suggest either Amazon or Ebay - but if buying from Ebay be cautious as some people have reported receiving fake creams.
