Crazy about BB Cream!

BB Cream or Blemish Balm Cream is among Asia's hottest beauty products right now. Where did it come from and how did it become so popular?

It is said that the formula comes from Germany where dermatologists prescribe it to heal laser skin surgery because it has soothing and skin-regenerating properties. Famous South Korean actresses then began using it for beauty purposes and since Asian dramas are huge all over, a craze was born. The trend that started in Korea first spread to Japan then to South East Asia and is now quickly making its way to Europe and the USA.

Celebrities who underwent laser surgery discovered and started using this wonder cream. Korean cosmetic companies got wind of it, realized the business potential, adapted the technology and started making their own formulas, thus making it available to the general public.

This "public" version of BB cream is suited for all skin types and are targeted to those who have sensitive and acne-prone skin. It has the advantages of both skin care and makeup as it improves the skin's condition and evens out the skin tone while providing coverage for dark spots and other blemishes.

In a nutshell... BB Cream is an all-in-one cosmetic beauty and skincare product. Depending on the brand you choose, this cream can act as foundation, concealer, sunblock, and moisturizer all in one go. Please consult your dermatologist before applying this cream (or anything you've never tried for that matter) on your face. Better try it on a different body part first to see if you might be allergic to it.
