The Low Down on BB Creams
04 June 2011
Newsflash sisters. The latest trend to hit your face... B.B. Cream.
The scoop:
B.B Cream (aka Blemish Balm) is not new - it's been a cult hit in Korea for years (where have you been sunshine?).
This miracle product started to spread like wildfire thanks of Asia's somewhat bizarre love for K-Dramas (who-da thought!). All the stunning Korean actresses worship this stuff - and now their secret is out!
B.B Cream is an all-in-one-time-and-money-saving-miracle cream (and yes, we are hooked!). Depending on which one you choose it can be a ....Make-up base, SPF, Concealer, Anti-aging (or skin-lightening), Moisturising, light-weight (read - wont clog pores) and Great Coverage Foundation. Perfect for us lazy gals!
It got it's rockin' rep as a special product to help patients recover from laser surgery, but also to cover up nasty post-surgery redness and irritation (eew). So it's actually got healing properties that soften and smooth skin, even reverse acne or other skin damage....bring that on!
Every brand (and his dog) seem to be tapping into this lucrative market by launching their own B.B variety. So although this was once a specialist Korean thing, now most of your favourite brands probably carry B.B creams. Great for us chicks, as we have plenty of choice...but having so many to choose from and sooooo little time can be tough work!
Personally we are loving the Korean brand Kana's B.B. Cream (found at Changi airport), we use it as a daily tinted moisturiser under a little mineral makeup. Another great option is the Clinique Age Defence BB Cream (SPF 30+++) available all over Singapore.
So find your own B.B Cream ... to become your new secret beauty weapon.
