Latest Discovery: BB Cream

As someone who regularly puts on no makeup, I've always been curious about what other people use. I recently heard about "bb cream" blemish balm cream. It was created for people recovering from plastic surgery who wanted some kind of foundation/concealer/coverage but also needed something sensitive and healing enough for their post operation skin.

BB cream is a huge hit among asians, especially koreans. It's supposed to provide pretty good coverage and act as your foundation/concealer/primer, an all in one basically. Some people do put mineral power or pressed powder on top to 'set' the look, but I'm told this is not neccessary. BB creams are raved for being lighter on the skin than a liquid foundation, while containing healing properties to gradually reduce blemishes/hyperpigmentation and acne scars as well as moisturize. Sounds almost like the holy grail, right?

So like I mentioned, I'm really not a make up person but I'm really curious about this product and I want to try it. The only problem is: it's generally not sold in the US (mostly korean, taiwan, hong kong) and there's so many different brands and types that I'm totally not sure of which would suit me best!

Anyway, this is something I'm going to look more into and test out. I'll let you know what happens!
