It´s a moisturizer! it´s a foundation!.No, it´s BB CREAM!!

If you´re looking for a cream that serves as an anti-oxidant  moisturizer and at the same time as a primer and foundation, your search is over.BB Cream is the Ultimate answer!

Since many of you are totally clueless about it  and  some of you have not even heard of this product, let me give  you  a lowdown  on this wonder cream.

A total system cream that serves multiple functions, BB cream stands for ´´blemish balm´´ or ´´beauty balm´´. It is a formulated and innovative cream with ingredients making your skin smooth and fair. It provides  all- in - one properties  and  serves many functions at one go . It provides a good base for makeup like a primer, evens out complexion like a tinted moisturiser, serves as a concealer, hydrates your skin , brightens and perks up a dull complexion and even functions as a sunblock. Some also have healing, soothing, whitening and anti-ageing properties.Sounds too good to be true, doesn´t it?

The formulation was concocted by a German dermatologist and  was originally used to protect skin after laser procedures and surgery.Then, it was picked up and  popularized by a Korean celebrity, when she credited one for  her flawless skin .Since then, it has taken over the asian beauty markets and has become a big hit. Even the giant cosmetic brands in the western countries have also jumped on the bandwagon. In fact, Garnier, is the first company to have introduced BB cream to the western markets.Then, other  famous brands such as MAC, Clinique and Estee lauder followed suit and  launched their own versions of  BB cream, capitalizing on the trend.So far, I have tried Garnier skin Perfector and I must say that I´m satisfied with the result.It provides  smooth texture  and gives better coverage than a tinted moisturizer.On the other hand, I am contemplating about   giving  other brands a shot  in order to find out which one suits me best.I will just keep you updated about the outcome..
