BB Creams – Definition
Bb Cream will work your skin for complexion and a perfect balance of brightness. It protect from sun rays and has a medium to dusky skin tone. If your face has any irregularities, you can camouflage them perfectly naturally with the BB creams from H&B. Read what you need to do to get the best results.
Why a BB Cream?
Often people think that a BB cream is used to make the skin look more tanned, to give a ‘sunbed effect.’ Many women also worry that a BB cream will make them look unnatural like they’re wearing a thick layer of makeup. However, nothing could be less accurate! The BB cream is very subtle. It hides the most visible imperfections: red dots, scars, pigment spots, dilated pores, and pimples. The cream leaves no ‘mask effect.’ In addition, a BB cream protects against UV rays thanks to an SPF 30 (very important, especially for people with couperose) and moisturizes the skin.
How Do You Get The Best Effect?
The best result is obtained when applying a serum and a day cream base under the BB cream. This base makes your skin more even, allowing the BB cream to spread more quickly and cover the skin better.
What Is The Best Way To Apply BB Cream?
There are different ways to apply a BB cream. By experimenting, you will very quickly find out which method works best for you:
BB Creams – With the fingers
Apply the cream to the rear of your hand (be careful not to apply too much!) and practice your index finger to use a small amount to five places on the face: forehead, nose, cheeks, and chin. Massage the cream with circular movements and light tapping movements until it has thoroughly penetrated the skin. Tapping helps to avoid putting too much pressure on the skin. The cream can then spread evenly without irritating the skin.
Start with the forehead. Spread the cream from the middle towards the temples. Continue at the nose and chin. Finish with the cheeks. You can also apply the cream around the eyes by patting gently. This will avoid damaging the sensitive skin in this area.
Apply a thin base coat first. You can apply an extra layer to the places you want more coverage. Apply the cream cleanly at the jawline to ensure continuity between the face and the neck.
BB Creams – With a Sponge
This method is primarily suitable for people with oily skin. Moisten the sponge a little to absorb the BB cream as much as possible.
Spread the BB Cream on the skin using the sponge. Spread over the cream to the back of your hand (be careful not to apply too much!) and use your index finger to apply a lesser amount to five places on the face: forehead, nose, cheeks, and chin. Make the cream penetrate by rubbing with firm and constant movements towards the outside of the face.
Start with the forehead, spreading the cream from the middle towards the temples. Then focus on the nose and chin. Finish by vigorously rubbing the BB cream into the skin of your cheeks using inward-outward motions. Apply less pressure around the eyes. The area around the eyes is susceptible. Spread the BB cream on this area by gently tapping with the sponge.

Difference Between The Foundation, Tinted Day Cream, Concealer, And BB Cream?
Foundation: Foundation is a product that makes your face more even. It conceals pimples and blemishes. Foundations do not contain UV filters and do not moisturize the skin.
Tinted Day Cream: A tinted day cream brings a slight tint to your skin but hides almost nothing. The cream protects your skin against external influences. There are tinted day creams with a sun protection factor.
Concealer: A concealer is a skin-colored cream, paste, or stick that you use to conceal facial imperfections. Unlike foundation, concealer is only used to hide imperfections locally.
BB cream: BB cream is an anti-blemish balm. It conceals imperfections, hydrates the skin, and protects it from the sun.
How To Choose The Right Complexion?
Unlike other tinted face products, our BB cream is available in two shades: light and medium. The color of the cream adapts to your skin color, and it is therefore challenging to go wrong in choosing your complexion. In short, BB cream light is suitable for people with fair skin with low pigmentation, and BB cream medium is ideal for all other skin types. More people use light cream in winter since the skin is less tanned than in summer. You can also lighten the shade yourself by mixing the BB cream with your day cream, alternate the two tints or even mix them according to the season.
Doesn’t a BB Cream Smother The Skin?
In conclusion, the BB cream from H&B does not suffocate the skin. A BB cream smothers or does not smother the skin, depending on its composition. When the skin cannot breathe, the pores get clogged, and pimples appear. Pore clogging is mainly caused by mineral oils (paraffin) and synthetic pigments, perfumes and dyes. H&B BB cream is paraben-free, mineral oil-free and contains natural pigments, fragrances and dyes. It is a care product that hides imperfections while moisturizing and allowing the skin to breathe.
Conclusion
BB cream from H&B does not suffocate the skin. It is a product for the care of the skin that hides the imperfections while moisturizing and already that the skin breathes.
