In the last few months, BB’s have been buzzing in the beauty world. It seems as if these creams have came out of nowhere and have invaded all of the popular makeup brands. Not to mention, my TV and favorite fashion magazines! BB this, BB that, and just until a few weeks ago, I was still wondering, “What the heck is a BB cream?” If you are still living in the dark like I was, here’s the low down on the BB.
BB creams, also known as blemish balms and beauty balms, were first introduced in Asia. Due to their popularity, they quickly made their way around the globe to the United States. A BB cream is used like a tinted moisturizer, offers similar coverage as a tinted moisturizer, but also acts a primer and an all-in-one beauty product that contains a variety of essential goodies, such as Vitamin C and broad-spectrum SPF. With regular use a blemish balm will help rejuvenate your skin and help correct dark marks and fine wrinkles, while preventing future damage to achieve flawless skin. From high-end lines to drug store brands, it seems like every cosmetics company has released their own concoction of a BB cream.
In the next few weeks I will be putting a variety of BB’s to the test, and giving you the low down on each. The first one I will be reviewing is L’Oreal’s Youth Code BB Cream Illuminator. Stay tuned for the scoop on this BB!
