B.B Cream

What is B.B. Cream? Is it better than foundations?? Why do people use it?

B.B Cream or short for Blemish Balm Cream is very popular in countries such as Japan and Korea because it can act as a foundation, it can also act as concealer. Not only does B.B Cream provide great coverage, it is a lot less oily than foundation and is a lot healthier for your skin. Many B.B Cream also has sun block or sun coverage features. The SPF or Sun Protection Factor is a measurement used in Japan and Korea to measure how long the B.B. Cream can prevent sun burnt when being in the sun for a long time. Because B.B. Cream has coverage, minerals and sun block functions all in one, it is widely popular not only among Asia, but also Western countries. 

Is it better than foundation? Well, this really depends on whoever is using it. Most Asian Women prefer B.B. Cream instead of Foundation because B.B. Cream tends to be lighter and has sun block functions. Since B.B. Cream is invented in Korea and Japan, they are designed to suit asian skin tone better. Which means, unlike Foundation that has multiple shades, B.B. Cream tend to only has 2 - 3 options. However, the pro side about B.B. Cream is that it will gradually blend into your skin tone when you wear it which makes your coverage look a lot more natural.  

Most people, such as myself, prefer B.B. Cream over Foundation. Foundation is very heavy and although it has a more balanced coverage, it is also the main contributor to oil on your skin. Furthermore, B.B. Cream often contains skin moisturizing substances that can act like a moisturizer and a foundation altogether. Thus, in a sense, B.B. Cream fits more to the people's needs. However, in Western countries, most people still prefer foundation and so it really depends on your make up and what style you are going for. 

Interesting enough, recently U.S companies have been manufacturing B.B Creams, B.B Cream is best made in Asian countries because of their expertise in the field for over years of experience. go to www.4hime.com for more!!
