BB Creams are the most indispensable cosmetic trend of recent years.

Blemish Balm, as we know them as we know them, takes their place on the shelves and in our make-up bags as an indispensable part of the latest cosmetic products. These smart creams, which have managed to be the most beloved of all of us, have been the new favorite of women of all ages for a while with their light structure and multi-functionality! Then I say it's time to take these products under close scrutiny and I invite you to take a little journey about these creams, which are launched one after the other by almost every brand.

What is BB Cream ?

BB cream stands for Blemish Balm or Beauty Balm. BB Cream was originally formulated by a German Dermatologist in the 1960s. The aim of the German doctor Christine Schrammek started with the desire of her patients to protect their skin sufficiently after chemical peels or surgeries, to close the scars and to smooth them in short, in the old words. Thus, BB Cream opened its eyes to the world cosmetics industry and was instrumental in a new opening in the World Cosmetics industry, first in Korea, then all of Asia and then all of Europe.

What makes BB Cream so strong in this industry?

While BB Creams provide a smoother appearance on the skin, they are also responsible for protecting the skin against internal and external factors. BB Creams are anti-aging products and help prevent the first signs of aging by providing protection against SPF, UVA / UVB rays and other environmental factors.

The other most powerful feature is that it has color options suitable for your skin and helps to cover the imperfections on your skin. Thanks to these new generation creams, which aim to establish the oil balance of the skin and control its shine, your foundation will be much more permanent. Especially BB Creams, which are also used as a make-up base, are highly recommended by make-up artists. The difference from colored moisturizers is that they are much more functional.

Here, what makes BB Creams indispensable is that they have many features together but at a single price. Who wouldn't want a cream like this? The demand for this product, which provides indispensable moisturizing for our skin, which has a very protection factor in terms of sun rays, which should be considered the most, and which makes our foundation habit very convenient, especially in the summer months, with its lighter structure, is indisputably the most beautiful cosmetic invention of recent years.

Of course, the smallness or abundance of these effects depends on the brand used. The concealer properties of BB creams produced by some brands are not that much. But in general, all BB creams are colored. It is offered to the market as light tone and medium tone. It is up to you to buy a BB cream that is suitable for your skin color.

Many brands produce BB Creams with many different effects. Our part is to choose and use the BB cream that suits our needs and budget. Of course, the priority is the needs of our skin. Whatever our skin wants, we have to give it.

What are the general features of these creams?

It nourishes the skin by meeting the moisture need of the skin.

Protects from UVA and UVB rays.

Equalizes the skin tone (both in appearance as a foundation and in the color tone of the skin. This part is usually referred to as “whitening”. However, what is meant by whitening is skin tone equality.)

Hides roughness and lines. It has the feature of under make-up foundation cream.

It gives a natural look to the skin.

Is a BB cream foundation? What is the difference between the two?

BB cream is not a foundation. It has been developed to be more friendly to the skin, including the effect of foundation, and to help repair the skin. Also, in appearance, BB creams are not as obvious as foundations. The main purpose here is to exchange the foundation, which is a must for make-up, with a more functional and constructive product. It is to have the skin tone we want and to contribute a little to the needs of the skin. It is intended to meet multiple needs with one touch.

Is BB cream a makeup product? Is it a Skin Care Product?

Although BB cream has skin care product properties and is generally marketed as a skin care product, it is a make-up product. Therefore, I recommend that you do not compromise on your skin cleansing. Because it is beneficial rather than harmful. Remember, no matter how limited your time is, the five minutes you spend on your skin will return to you in years.

May your beauty be forever
