I asked that question over & over during the time that i started beauty blogging ...

 What is a BB cream?


BB cream is the hottest beauty products in the world right now.

BB cream, also known as Blemish Balm or Blemish Base, is a cosmetic item sold in Korea

There are several BB Cream brands such as HANSKIN,Skin79, Skinfood, BRTC, Missha, Dr Jart but all products have slight differences in properties, ingredients, smell, texture and oil control.

General BB Cream characteristics:

• Natural glow on your face without makeup look
• Provides perfect coverage just like a foundation but without clogging pores or damaging the skin
• Conceals all types of pigmentation, discoloration, acne and marks
• Healing properties which soften, smoothen and refine skin
• Encourages skin regeneration to create and maintain youthful skin
• UV Protection for healthy skin
• Some BB creams have additional features such as wrinkle improvement, whitening functions etc.
BB cream serve as a makeup base, foundation, moisturizer and sun protections. Not only do they cover blemishes, they also have soothing, healing properties. Not all BB cream have all these functions,there are many types of BB cream some need to apply after moisturizer, some without the SPF or PA.

Search for the ones that suitable for yourself, have a look around, do your research before you purchase.Few points worth considering are whet are the properties & ingredients such as moisturizing, sun protector, oil-free?? and  the scent, some are fragrance free, some are scented, so make sure you checklist all.commonly recommended practice is to use BB cream as base, follow by concealer then set by powder.

 Korea BB (Blemish Balm) cream usually comes with several versions, most common versions included basic, glossy, pearly, premium (anti-aging plus whitening) …etc.  Hanskin Magic BB Cream as basic version, whereby the Super Magic BB cream that is premium version that included whitening, wrinkle care and sun protection.BB creams generally come in "one" shade, they are meant to "sink/seep" into your skin to match your skin tone. However, they do vary in shade depending on the company that produces them. The shades further vary among the different products that the company produces. There are a few companies who do produce two (2) different shades for their BB creams such as Skinfood (TSF or SF) and Missha.

unless it's the night bb cream (which skin79 has) that you have bought. BB cream (and I must stress again) is makeup. you don't sleep with makeup nor sunblock.Please always remember to remove it before going to bed because BB Cream is NOT a skin treatment and should NOT replace your usual moisturizer or sunscreen.

Do you use BB  ream? which is your HG bb cream??
