If you’re looking to make a change with your skin care this summer, have you considered a BB cream?
Over the past couple of years there has been an increase in the popularity of Beauty Balm or Blemish Balm (BB) creams and with some of the BB Cream products on the market, it’s easy to see why.
BB creams don’t just bridge the gap between a tinted moisturiser and a foundation, but a good BB cream can also act as a moisturiser and a primer while still providing UV protection.
