BB Cream has been around for years, but it’s still one of those products that are a little mysterious to some of us. What is BB Cream? How is it different than a foundation? Do I need to use it? Those are questions we often get asked by our friends, so we decided to pose the same questions to our Global Educators: Edgar Dominguez, Hannah Hatcher, and Shawn Towne.
Without any more delay, because we know you want to get the scoop, here’s your guide to all things BB Cream.
What is BB Cream?
Shawn: BB Creams are essentially high coverage tinted moisturizers with added skincare benefits. Originally created in Germany, they gained popularity in the Far East before making their way west. The letters BB originally stood for Blemish Balm but, since the word Blemish is commonly associated with acne in the US, the term Beauty Balm was adapted.
Hannah: They have a velvety finish and an elevated SPF. They’re ideal for someone who is craving that full coverage, perfect finish, in addition to anyone experiencing hyper- or hypo-pigmentation.
