Have you ever heard of BB Cream? It is the most coveted beauty product in Asia and has been a secret weapon of many Asian women, to look younger, flawless and radiant. No other cosmetic product gives the same benefit of a skincare, as BB Cream.
BB Cream stands for Blemish Balm Cream or Beauty Balm Cream, which originated in Germany, was intended for people who had undergone cosmetic surgery to hide and heal their scars. This ointment prescribed by dermatologists to help soothe skin while healing.
BB cream became popular when Korean super stars started using this as base make-up. They later reinvented the product and promoted as a base-makeup with skincare properties.
Here are the known benefits of using BB Cream:
- Produces a very natural, "no makeup look"
- Conceals all types of pigmentation, discoloration, acne and other blemishes
- Has healing properties that soften, smoothen and refine skin
- Encourages skin regeneration to create and maintain youthful skin
- Contains UV Protection for healthy skin (SPF levels differ for each brand/product)
- Anti-wrinkle and skin-lightening benefits (available for some variants)
The product is considered multi-purpose as it has moisturizing, anti-aging, whitening, SPF and make-up properties.
Korea has produced many brands of BB Creams such as Missha, Skin79, BRTC, Laniege, L'egere, Dr. Jart to name a few. Sephora has recently joined in the Asian craze and now offers Dr. Jart's BB Cream.
