So what is all the rage with this new product out there BB cream? Is it something we should add to our makeup regimen? So where did it come from?
What was to become BB Cream was originally formulated in the 1960s in Germany by dermatologist Dr. Christine Schrammek to protect her patients' skin after surgery. It was introduced to South Korea and Japan in 1985 – where healthy-looking, porcelain skin is heavily prized – the cream was hailed as "the secret of Korean actresses," and was heavily endorsed by Korean celebrities. These Korean women talked up the product so much, that it soon made it's way over to the Western world! Lucky us. (cosmopolitan.com/wikipedia.com)
Here are the benefits:
* Produces a very natural, "no makeup look"
* Provides perfect coverage like a foundation would but since it's not as thick, it doesn't clog the pores
* Works pretty much like a tinted moisturizer
* Conceals all types of pigmentation, discoloration, acne and other blemishes
* Has healing properties that soften, smoothen and refine skin
* Encourages skin regeneration to create and maintain youthful skin
* Contains UV Protection for healthy skin (SPF levels differ for each brand/product)
* Anti-wrinkle and skin-lightening benefits (available for some variants)

So how do you know which one is right for you? You should treat it like skin care. If you have oily, dry or sensitive skin, go with a product that compliments that. You don't need to spend a fortune on BB Creams. Try a few out and see which ones you like!
