“BB” stands for Blemish Balm, but you don’t have to have a single blemish on your skin to use and love BB Cream. BB cream is great for anyone with any skin color or any skin type. Here is more on where it came from, how you use it, who it’s best for and where you can buy it.
2. How to Use BB Cream

BB cream can be used as a highlighter, primer, moisturizer, foundation, concealer and facial sunscreen. With many BB creams having a great SPF level and the ability to conceal and cover-up imperfections, we recommend trying one. Think of it as a tinted moisturizer on drugs. So much more than a tinted moisturizer!

When I asked the woman working in the Korean market in Itewon which one was the best, she immediately pointed to Tonymoly's Intense Care Snail BB Cream. It was one of the higher priced options, but at only $25ish dollars, compared to our product prices, it was a steal, so I bought it on the spot.
