Beauty review: BB creams!
BB Creams! I'm sure BB creams (Short for Blemish Balm) are familiar
to everyone these days, it first became popular after Korean Celebrities
revealed that BB creams are their secret to flawless, oh-so perfect skin.
It was known to be a product the dermatologist would prescribe after
their patient went through skin laser procedure.
Because it soothes, protects and provides coverage for post-laser scars.
It's a All-in-One product that combines your moisturizer, essence, sun block, concealer and coverage to hide your blemishes and some BB creams have added benefits like Skin brightening.. oil control, helps reduce the formation of wrinkles..
These days, everyday is a lazy morning for me, so i simply slap on BB creams
and apply a thin layer of loose powder to set the BB cream and i can have flawless, hydrated, sun-protection skin!
It's no wonder why people would choose BB creams over foundations,
after all it's a makeup product with skincare benefits, so why not?
Not only you can hide your blemishes and any imperfections,
it also has healing & skin treatment properties, plus it adapts to the color of your skin tone.
So there's no need to worry about the uneven skin tone of your face and neck
unlike while choosing the color for your foundation,
you have to be very careful to pick the right one.
- BRTC Glamourous Sparkling BB Cream SPF36 PA++
- Bio Essence Bio Multi Effect BB Cream SPF25 PA ++
- Lancome UV Expert BB Base SPF 50 PA++
- Bio Essence Aqua BB Cream
- Bio Essence Bio Platinum + Multi Effect BB Cream SPF25 PA ++
A drop of BB cream to test the colour:
- BRTC Glamourous Sparkling BB Cream SPF36 PA++
- Bio Essence Bio Multi Effect BB Cream SPF25 PA ++
- Lancome UV Expert BB Base SPF 50 PA++
- Bio Essence Aqua BB Cream
- Bio Essence Bio Platinum + Multi Effect BB Cream SPF25 PA ++
All of the BB Creams above are more yellow/warm toned except
for #03 - Lancome UV Expert BB Base SPF 50 PA++ which has a pink undertone, which might not be suitable for Asians unless for ladies who are blessed
with fair skin.
There are some things that I'd look out for when shopping for a tube of BB cream,
Firstly, i'd look out for the added skincare benefits like:
- Higher SPF
- Hydrating
- Whitening
- Oil control
- Anti-aging
- Medium/full coverage
I might sound greedy wanting all that in one tube of magical cream,
but after all, we all love BB creams because they cut down the amount of products
we pile on our skin right?
The SPF, oil-control, medium-full coverage is the most important of all,
of course with whitening & anti-aging properties is a plus!
but having this 3 benefits means i cut down 4 steps into 1 step:
The four steps being Sunblock, Makeup Base , Concealer & Foundation!
Hurray to BB creams creating the perfect flawless skin for me in a matter of seconds!
