BB creams, cocktail innovation

BB creams, cocktail innovation - BB creams? You may not know yet that expression. This is the name of a particular class of day creams appeared in our country a few months ago. Their promise nothing less than a five care!

BB cream: cream to replace all

The trend of BB creams comes from Asia, specifically Korea. Originally, their name comes from "Blemish Balm" or balm against blemishes. These creams provide both the coverage as a foundation, and in-depth action on imperfections correction buttons, wrinkles and uneven skin tone.

Following the big success in Asia, BB creams have landed on our markets, but in a slightly different form. Exit the "blemish balm": thanks to them, we are again with a skin BB (baby).

The principle remains the same: they replace the foundation, moisturize, erase blemishes and give a bang. And as a bonus, they even offer a sunscreen!

BB creams, miracle creams?

So the BB creams they take their promises? In a word, of course not. It would really be too much to ask them to do the work alone three or four different products. Point out some major flaws:

There are generally only two colors in each range. Compared to traditional foundations, it is now possible to fit every type of skin, it is very little!

The coverage is generally not optimal. BB creams are the most Blanket difficult to apply, with a slight effect "plastering" if it is not very careful with the installation. Others are easier to handle ... but suddenly, do not allow to pass a concealer or other marker.

As usual for cosmetic who want to influence the health of the skin, the active ingredients are not determined enough to have a real efficiency. In other words, this is not a BB cream that will provide you with a good moisturizer at night. And even less of a true sun protection!

So the BB creams are they for you?

Despite these drawbacks, BB creams are tempting. It is not a miracle product: Consider it as a light foundation that will just improve your skin problems.

This type of cream is suitable for women who like a natural look with makeup, and do not have too many imperfections. Those looking for a very well worked up can use BB cream ... but as a simple basis, with additional use of foundation, concealer and all that goes with it.
