Best BB cream in 2022

BB creams first appeared a few years ago in Korea. Literally, the name of such creams is translated from English as "getting rid of flaws." As conceived by the manufacturers, BB cream was supposed to replace several cosmetic products: foundation, moisturizer, serum and 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 makeup, they do not dry out the dermis and protect it from the harmful effects of ultraviolet radiation. On the shelves of stores there are enough varieties of products of various cosmetic brands. The top rating of the best BB creams will help you choose the most suitable and high-quality among them.

What is BB Cream

The prototype of the famous products for the skin 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 remaining after surgery or procedures involving a laser. This balm instantly became popular among women. The representatives of the artistic world were the first to appreciate the tool. With the help of this balm, women's faces have acquired a 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

A cosmetic product produced in Europe is somewhat different in property 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. The consistency of the European BB cream is more like a thick grayish balm and in its action resembles a colorless corrector.

Among the components of this cream are plant extracts and oils, antioxidants, talc, parabens, hyaluronic acid, collagen, silicone and other substances. According to its texture, BB-cream produced in Korea resembles a dense ointment with healing properties. Over time, the texture of cosmetics gradually became lighter and now such a product will not lie like a dense mask, clogging pores. Modern BB cream has a light and melting texture.

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

Who is BB cream 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 the imperfections of the skin. Usually they have a moisturizing property and a tinting effect, they are available in 5 shades.

Asian creams contain many natural substances among the components. They allow not only to mask 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, Asian BB cream requires the use of a special oil remover.

The versatility of modern BB creams allows them to be used to solve the following problems:

• Hydration of the epidermis due to the high content of plant components;
• Concealment of 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;
• Preparation of the skin for the 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 universal remedy, in most cases it is developed taking into account the characteristics of the skin. 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 a BB cream according to the same principle as conventional cosmetics. Such a tool should have a lightweight texture that does not weigh down makeup and does not clog pores. The product should not cause the effect of a glossy face. On the contrary, the product should matte the dermis. Best of all in this case, products labeled oil-free, which contain plant extracts among the components, are suitable. These substances minimize the risk of developing irritations inherent in oily epidermis.

Problem skin

For this type of skin, it is also important 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

Girls with this type of face can use BB cream with a dense but watery texture. Too thick a product will dry the skin even more. It's great if the components include hyaluronic acid, glycerin, oils and other nourishing and moisturizing ingredients. 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

The epidermis of the normal type may also have various imperfections. Therefore, here the choice of BB cream should be based on what imperfections need to be masked. If it is an uneven skin tone, then a product with a liquid texture will do. For the epidermis with wrinkles, it is better to choose a substance with a dense texture and a glossy effect. Also in the composition should be 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 components. These include peptides, hyaluronic acid, antioxidants. Such a tool should have a light and soft texture that does not clog into wrinkles.

How to use BB Cream

It must be borne in mind that the BB remedy is not a foundation, so you should not apply it too much. For proper application, it is important to take into account the texture of the substance. Liquid products can be applied simply with your fingers, and for denser 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 make-up, the cream is applied from the center of the face to the periphery, lightly patting the skin with palms for better absorption and natural color. This method allows you to spend the product quite economically, but does not allow you to mask the shortcomings well.

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

To remove BB creams, especially their Asian versions, it is necessary to use hydrophilic oil. It perfectly cleanses the epidermis, while nourishing it. Hydrophilic oils do an excellent job even with the most persistent makeup, and 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, oil for removing cosmetics, milk.
