Getting tanned without neglecting your skin is possible thanks to BB creams. They help to achieve a sun-kissed glow at the same time as nurturing your skin, in addition to protecting it from the sun. This is why celebrities like Victoria Beckham and Sandra Bullock always incorporate them into their beauty regimes to achieve a seamless natural golden tone.

If you want to look as if you've been lightly sun-kissed, the best that you can do is select a BB Cream with a more intense shade but not far from your natural skin color. The key will be to try it, just as you would when choosing a foundation, to get the exact tone. Remember that although the cream appears brown, whitish, or even grayish, it will add the right shade of color to your skin while nourishing and protecting, so you can achieve a smooth, uniform, and fresh effect.
