Beauty Balm or BB creams have been around for ages but it has only been widely used recently. Though initially used by dermatologists in Germany to heal post-operative wounds from laser surgery, BB creams have found their way in the cosmetic industry as the beauty secret of many famous actresses in South Korea.
Now, there are BB creams in a myriad of tints and variants in the market. Many are combined with ingredients that prevent wrinkles, whiten, and perfect skin. Those with sensitive skin that are prone to breakouts and rashes may try Clinique Age Defense BB Cream which, aside from having SPF30 and being 100% fragrance free, works great as a makeup base.
The Face It Aqua Tinted BB Cream is great for those with oily skin since it is water-based. Those with dry skin on the other hand, would do better with Missha M Moisture which hydrates skin and makes it look supple.
After choosing the right BB cream for your skin type, select the tint that perfectly matches your skin tone. Most creams adjust to your skin tone so wait for 10-15 minutes after applying a tester before purchasing one.
