BB creams—what makes them so special? BB cream (made popular in Asia) is short for beauty balm or blemish balm and just happens to be one of our very favorite products. BBs are much more gentle on the skin and thinner than regular foundation (no cake-face here!). They contain some great stuff that your skin needs like SPF, excellent moisturizers, and serums, and they expertly cover, while nourishing your face underneath. Basically BB cream does it all—it’s like tinted moisturizer with super powers, that’s packed with antioxidants to regenerate the skin. That said, it can be difficult wandering down the BB cream aisle, knowing which one to choose. Not to worry, we’ve selected fifteen of our favorite beauty balms, in all different price ranges, to help point you in the right direction. Get ready to fall in love and save time with this multi-tasking make up!
