Best BB Cream in 2024

BB creams first appeared in Korea a few years ago. Literally, the name of such creams is translated from English as "getting rid of flaws." According to the intention of the manufacturers, the BB cream was to replace several cosmetics products: a foundation, a moisturizer, a serum and a primer.

In fact, such outstanding features of BB creams are nothing more than a marketing ploy. No "Bibik" can replace a mask or serum for the skin. An impressive result is achieved only visually. BB-creams have a light texture and are indispensable for creating natural make-up; they do not dry out the dermis and protect it from the harmful effects of ultraviolet radiation. There are many varieties of products from a wide variety of cosmetic brands on store shelves. The top rating of the best BB creams will help you choose the most suitable and high-quality one.

What is BB Cream

The prototype of the famous skin products was obtained in the mid-70s in the last century in Germany, and then spread to Korea. It was a tool that allows you to get rid of scars, redness and scars left after surgery or laser procedures. This balm instantly became popular with women. Representatives of the artistic world were the very first to appreciate the product. With the help of this balm, women's faces acquired the perfect look. Their faces began to resemble porcelain. BB cream came to European countries only a few years ago.

BB cream ingredients, texture and shades

The cosmetic product produced in Europe differs somewhat in its properties and composition from its Korean counterpart. These products transform the epidermis, making it smooth, velvety and matte. The product literally adapts to the needs of the skin. In terms of consistency, the European BB-cream is more like a thick grayish balm and in its action resembles a colorless corrector.

The components of such a cream contain plant extracts and oils, antioxidants, talc, parabens, hyaluronic acid, collagen, silicone and other substances. In its texture, the BB cream made in Korea resembles a dense ointment with medicinal properties. Over time, the texture of the cosmetics gradually lightened and now such a product will not lie in a dense mask, clogging the pores. The modern BB cream has a light and melting texture.

At the dawn of its production, BB cream was only four shades. Nowadays, the variety of tones is much wider.However, some brands insist that it is not necessary to create many cosmetic tones. Their products have a single tone that matches the color of the skin.

Who is BB cream suitable for?

High-quality cosmetics of this kind are able to solve several issues at once. It copes with the elimination of cosmetic problems and perfectly masks the imperfections of the skin. It should be borne in mind that BB-creams produced in European and Asian countries differ in their composition:
European products are more focused on hiding skin imperfections. They usually have a moisturizing and toning effect and are available in 5 shades.

Asian creams contain many natural ingredients. They allow not only to disguise the flaw, but also to solve this issue. They perfectly whiten the skin and have no more than three shades. Due to the nature of the composition, a special oil agent is required to remove Asian BB cream.

The multifunctionality of modern BB creams allows them to be used to solve the following tasks:

• Moisturizing the epidermis due to the high content of plant components;
• Hiding imperfections due to high plasticity. A special product designed for problem skin, perfectly masks redness, irritation or pigmentation on the dermis;
• Rejuvenation of the skin as a result of exposure to special substances that slow down natural aging;
• Nutrition and treatment of the epidermis as a result of anti-inflammatory effects and activation of regeneration processes;
• Preparing the skin for subsequent make-up. The special composition of the BB cream makes it possible to apply decorative cosmetics immediately after applying this product.

How to choose a product according to the type of skin

Although this product is considered a versatile product, in most cases it is designed with the skin in mind. If you take into account all the nuances correctly, you can get the perfect makeup.

Oily and combination skin

For this type of skin, it is necessary to choose BB cream according to the same principle as conventional cosmetics. Such a product should have a lightweight texture that does not weigh down makeup and does not clog pores. The product should not cause a shiny face effect. On the contrary, the product should matte the dermis. In this case, oil-free products, which contain plant extracts, are best suited in this case. These substances minimize the risk of developing irritations inherent in oily epidermis.

Problem skin

It is also important for this type of skin to choose products with a light texture. In addition, among the components, there must be ingredients that will eliminate the shortcomings. These include salicylic acid and vitamins A, B and E.

For dry skin

For girls with this type of face, you can use BB cream with a dense but watery texture. Too thick a product will dry the skin even more. It is great if the components include hyaluronic acid, glycerin, oils and other nourishing and moisturizing components. In addition, the list of components should include silicones that will soften the dermis and take on the role of a primer.

For normal skin

Normal epidermis can also have various imperfections. Therefore, the choice of BB cream here should be based on which imperfections need to be masked. If this is an uneven skin tone, then a product with a liquid texture will do. For epidermis with wrinkles, it is better to choose a substance with a dense texture and a shine effect.Also, the composition should contain vitamins, antioxidants and moisturizers.

For aging skin

If aging has already clearly manifested itself on the face, then you should choose creams that contain anti-aging ingredients. These include peptides, hyaluronic acid, antioxidants. Such a product should have a light and soft texture that does not clog into wrinkles.

How to use BB cream

It should be borne in mind that BB is not a foundation, so you should not apply too much of it. For proper application, it is important to take into account the texture of the substance. Liquid products can be applied simply with your fingers, while for thicker products you need to take a sponge or a special brush. The correct way to apply the product is usually indicated in the instructions for the cream.

For everyday makeup, the cream is applied from the center of the face to the periphery, lightly patting the skin with your palms for better absorption and a natural color. This method allows you to use the product economically enough, but does not allow you to well mask the flaws.

Evening makeup is best done with a sponge or a special brush. So the cream is well distributed and hides imperfections more tightly. The disadvantage of this method is that the product is consumed faster and the sponges must be constantly washed from the cream. Alternatively, you can use a special synthetic brush.

To remove BB creams, especially their Asian versions, it is necessary to use a hydrophilic oil. It perfectly cleanses the epidermis while nourishing it. Hydrophilic oils do an excellent job of even the most persistent makeup, while the presence of oils and plant extracts also provides a caring effect. Alternatively, products containing fatty components can be used to remove such makeup. These products include micellar water, makeup remover oil, milk.
