That magic bb cream - what is it and how does it work?
The bb cream has only been around for a few years and although you've probably heard of it, you may not know exactly what it is. This highly effective, multi-tasking product hydrates and rejuvenates the skin while letting it breathe, protects from sun damage, preps the face before make-up application, and even works great as a primer. Find out for yourself!
Today, the beauty market offers a wide range of facial care and make-up products to help you enjoy a healthy and beautiful complexion. Provided you choose well, from a trusted brand like DRHAZI. One such standout product is the bb cream, ideal for days when you prefer light make-up as it provides coverage without a natural masking effect.
To use a bb cream correctly, it is important to understand how it works and the benefits it brings.
What is a bb cream?
Both bb cream and foundation can be used to cover skin imperfections. But bb cream is a more complex product that offers skin benefits in addition to a uniform appearance. As an acronym for Blemish Balm or Beauty Balm, it is a multifunctional product, combining the nourishing properties of a cream with the coverage and protection of a primer.
Our DRHAZI BB products are designed to intensively rejuvenate, hydrate and protect the skin, while giving it an even, matte finish. They provide lighter coverage on the skin, which is a great choice in summer but also in winter, especially if you want a makeup product that protects your skin.
How does bb cream work?
The bb cream is a "hybrid" product that allows you to replace the moisturizer and foundation you normally use before makeup with a single product!
Some products, such as DRHAZI oil-free foundations, can also be used to alleviate certain skin problems, such as acne. In addition, DRHAZI bb creams contain natural pigments that adapt to any skin tone. They are therefore recommended for concealing skin imperfections, but also for deep hydration and reducing the appearance of enlarged pores.
Key benefits of bb cream
A good bb cream has important benefits for the skin:
- Moisturises, regenerates and rejuvenates the skin - an important benefit is the presence of moisturising and regenerating ingredients. Even with a bb cream for oily skin, you'll notice that you'll be able to give your skin the hydration and coverage it needs.
- Conceals skin imperfections - choose a mattifying bb cream to cover imperfections and achieve an even complexion. They offer different levels of coverage depending on your needs, so you can choose products that provide light coverage (Anti Age Make Up) or even full coverage (Oilfree Make Up). The pigments they contain make foundation unnecessary.
- Protection against the sun - bb cream with SPF protects against the sun's rays, whatever the season. Anti Age Make Up is an SPF 30++ in one layer and SPF 50++ in two layers to provide maximum coverage against UV rays, preventing the appearance of wrinkles.
- Improves make-up resistance - bb cream is recommended for both moisturising and concealing skin imperfections, as well as a primer. Smoothes the skin and improves make-up resistance.
- A lightweight formula that won't weigh down your skin - choose an SPF 30 product and enjoy skin hydration, imperfection coverage, a make-up base and sun protection, all in one product.
- It can improve certain skin problems - are you bothered by acne or blackheads? Use cc cream Oilfree Make Up for acne-prone skin, which removes excess sebum and conceals blemishes. Due to its non-comedogenic ingredients, such a product is an excellent makeup base for acne-prone skin.
BB creams versus other foundations and moisturisers - a one jar solution!
BB cream vs. foundation
It can often be difficult to choose, as they both offer different levels of coverage, the main difference being in their features. While the role of a foundation is only to unify the appearance of the skin and is therefore often saturated with harmful silicones, a bb cream can offer complexity, hydration, anti-ageing, sebum control and sun protection. It is also very easy to apply to the skin!
BB cream vs. moisturiser
The choice between bb cream and moisturiser varies according to the skin's needs. A bb product for oily skin may be sufficient to meet the hydration needs of this type of skin. For those with severely dry or dehydrated skin, the moisturising effect of a bb cream may not be sufficient, in which case it may be necessary to apply a more intensive rejuvenating cream before use.
When can I use the bb cream?
Our wide range of BB creams can be used in almost any situation, whatever the season. They are suitable for all skin types, so those with oily, acne-prone, dry or sensitive skin can get them. For example, if your skin looks tired, use a cream containing pigments to brighten and refresh your skin.
Tips for applying bb cream
The bb cream can therefore be used as a daily foundation instead of a foundation, which should be applied to pre-cleansed skin. If your skin needs extra hydration, apply a moisturising serum after cleansing, followed by a cream and then a bb cream after application. You don't need anything to use it as it's easy to apply with your fingers.
A bb cream can be useful for those who want a complex make-up product that evens out the skin and gives it the care it needs. Give your face the same privilege!
