BB cream is short for 'blemish balm' or 'beauty balm', and it's used to moisturise, protect, and correct your skin. BB creams became popular in South Korea in the mid-1980s but were actually created in Germany in the 1960s to help patients recovering from laser treatments and surgery.
BB creams frequently contain antioxidants such Vitamin A, C and E which can help improve skin elasticity and brightness. Some contain hyaluronic acid which deeply moisturizes skin
BB creams are more lightweight and buildable with medium to full coverage as a foundation! Its smoother texture allows BB creams to function as a primer by evening out skin tone while allowing the skin to breathe versus the thick coverage of a foundation
