The BB craze!



The BB cream or "Blemish Balm" was invented in 1968 by German inventor Dr. Christine Schrammek , it became a huge hit in Japan where it is still THE product to use.   It was first used for treating wounds and scars and as a post-op treatment.   It has really become a craze in Asia and is now starting to become more and more popular here....it is basically a tinted moisturizer, that gives SPF protection while nurturing the skin as it protects it.  

I just picked up the Garnier version Skin Renew and love it.  I am not big on foundation and never have been, but this is a great cover without being heavy or streaking.   It contains a Hyaluronic Acid and Lipidure Microspheres to retain water in the skin which plumps it up and also has Vitamin C to lessen spotting.  Perfect if you want some light natural coverage and SPF!

Some other brands with good BB products to try out are "Missha" , "SKIN79" , "BAVIPHAT"    and "Skinfood"
