BB Cream: new from Asia

BB cream (BB is an abbreviation for Blemish Balm, which can be translated as "balm from deficiencies") - this A combined product that combines several functions:

• 
  moisturizing the skin (using this cream, it is not necessary to use a moisturizing lotion or cream);
• 
  protection from ultraviolet (usually SPF of these creams is 25 or more);
• 
  control of pimples and eruptions (the cream contains active substances for problem areas);
• 
  preventing the appearance of wrinkles (the cream contains ingredients that slow the aging of the skin);
• 
  masking circles under the eyes, spots, scars, redness (acts as a concealer);
• 
  skin whitening (Asian women value more light skin);
• 
  acts as a basis for make-up.

Initially, the BB was developed for use incosmetology surgery to accelerate the recovery of the skin and masking postoperative defects. But in the Asian market BB cream quickly took its niche as a universal cosmetic for the mass consumer, including due to the difference in approaches to skin care in Asia and Europe.

The popularity of its BB cream is due to the fact that it combines the qualities of an outgoing cosmetics and tonal products: it not only improves the skin condition, but alsomasks the shortcomings, and the skin while it looks natural. BB cream is even called the secret of beauty of Korean actresses. This also increases the demand: which girl refuses to be like her idol?

Now BB cream is gradually becoming popular in Europe, including in our latitudes. Fortunately, ordering goods from Asia via the Internet now is not a problem. The most famous manufacturers of BB creams - this is Missha, Skin 79, Etude House, Skinfood,Hanskin. They produce BB cream and European producers. For example, Garnier offers BB Cream "The Secret of Excellence", created specifically for the European type of skin. But most of this product is designed for export to the Asian market, where BB cream is more in demand.

BB cream is called "cream-photoshop" for its ability to mask flaws and equalize the tone of the face. But despite the apparent ideality, this means and its shortcomings. One of them is a limited number of shades. Usually in the line 2-4 of the shade of the medium, notmore, so you may have to suffer to find your "own" shade. Although the manufacturers claim that the BB cream is adjusted to the skin tone, it does not mean that any shade will suit you. In addition, the cream squeezed out from the tube often appears grayish. However, when applied to the skin, this shade goes away.

The problem in the choice is not only "his" shade, but also "his" brand. That BB cream, which is ideal for your girlfriend, may not suit you at all. So you need to try, and it's difficult to do, because you can order these creams only through the Internet - you can not just come to the store and ask for a sampler.

Also BB cream has a rather dense texture, many do not like it. In addition, despite the fact that the BB cream combines the functions of an aural and tonal remedy, it is not necessary to permanently replace them with your arsenal of facial care products: one universal remedy will still not replace a number of specialized ones.

therefore usually advised to use BB cream not daily, but for outlets to the light (appointment, party) or for photo and video filming. In general, then, when you need to look perfect, this cream will become your "heavy artillery".

With regular use, the cream can clogpores, so it is very important to wash it properly. In Asia, special hydrophilic oils are produced to remove BB creams. In our conditions, you can do with a means for make-up. Penki for washing or soap will not help here! The composition of the cream includes silicones and other substances that water can not wash, and the texture of it, as already mentioned, is dense. Therefore, thorough cleaning with a means to remove persistent makeup is mandatory.

BB cream is a very effective cosmetic product, but you should not abuse it, it is better to alternate the use of traditional waste and tonal remedies using BB cream.
