WHAT IS A BB CREAM? KOREAN SKINCARE

A BB cream is a versatile beauty and make-up product that promises the benefits of 5 to 6 other products such as moisturizer, primer, sunscreen, concealer, and makeup base. It is more than a tinted moisturizer because it provides skin goodness and brightening effects.,a complexion enhancer immediately upon application. Some BB creams also offer skin sun protection and an excellent daily alternative to heavy foundations.

BB cream originates from Germany, but it has become so famous in South Korea. Everyone was so passionate about BB cream because it is also more of an anti-aging product.

What is the difference between BB and CC creams?

BB cream stands for beauty balm or blemish balm. It is like wearing foundation but the difference is that it gives you the coverage that helps your skin to breathe a little more than when using a foundation. It lets your skin heal if it has some kind of issue. Others prepare bb cream over a foundation when they have breakouts.
Your skin might benefit from a BB cream if you have acne-prone skin and need to cover blemishes because it has a lighter texture as well as a shorter ingredient list.

There are brightening BB creams, anti-aging, and acne control.

Cc cream stands for color correction or complexion corrector cream. Most people use cc cream as a primer, as it corrects  skin color and covers skin imperfections instantly. There’s not much difference between bb and cc cream, but each can do different things depending on the brand.
The cc cream’s coverage is much higher and the texture is supposedly a little thicker because it has additional skincare benefits.

Is BB cream better than foundation?

If you’re trying to conceal blemishes or imperfections, if you have heavily discolored skin that needs a lot of covering, or if you just want a more airbrushed look, a better option might be liquid foundation or a cushion foundation.
BB cream, on the other hand, is lighter in coverage. It is formulated to give a natural , glowing look.

Not only is BB cream good for your skin, it usually offers major skincare advantages: think of anti-aging ingredients such as antioxidants, anti-redness ingredients, or blemish busters. It has more skincare in its formula than a foundation.

How to use BB creams?

• After applying serums or moisturizers, apply BB cream to the skin evenly.
• To spread the cream, use a foundation brush, sponge, or your fingers.
• Apply more product on areas that need more coverage and needs concealer.
• If you know that you’ll be in the sun for long periods of time, add an additional SPF product.

BB creams come in a variety of shades and it’s important that you get a product that is right for your complexion. Choosing the right shade for you will make your skin looks natural and glowing all day.

Usually, Korean BB creams have greater UV protection and are also more emollient, more comparable to their skincare products. While American BB creams tend to be matte and “oil control” is still highly sought after.
