There are a lot of great BB creams, or beauty balms, on the market, so why would anyone want a full coverage foundation that can make their skin look cakey and fake? BB creams are like tinted moisturizers. They not only even out your skin and give it some coverage for a natural look, but they also keep it hydrated, treat it with antioxidants, and protect it from UV rays. BB creams were mostly popular in Asia, but they have recently become very popular in many other countries as well. There are now a lot of great beauty balms for you to try out!
1. The BB Cream by Dr. Brandt Flexitone

2. Dior Hydra Life BB Crème SPF 30 PA+++
Although Dior Hydra Life BB Cream is more on the pricey side, it is one of the most popularly used beauty balms among women. Although the creme is very thin, it is very pigmented, allowing you to use less product to correct your skin. However, there are more perks to this product than just even skin. It effectively hydrates your skin, leaving it smooth and soft, and it provides sun protection in order to avoid wrinkles and skin damage. In addition, there are no parabens, sulfates or phthalates in this product, which means that your body is safe from chemicals that are considered “safe” but can still damage your body by causing cancer and fat-related health issues.
