BB cream is a type of makeup product that stands for blemish balm or beauty balm. It is a multitasking product that is designed to serve as a foundation, moisturizer, and sunscreen all at once. BB creams were originally formulated in the 1960s in Germany by a dermatologist to protect her patients skin after facial peels and surgery. They were later popularized by beauty trends in South Korea and eventually spread across the globe. BB creams come in a variety of different formulations, and most formulae are designed to oxidize to match the users skin tone. They are generally safe to use on a regular, daily basis and are especially useful when you don’t have time to apply a moisturizer, primer, and foundation. BB creams are versatile and there are formulas out there for all different skin types. They are also available in different shades and can be used to cover lines, scars, and provide a dewy, luminescent glow for your skin.
