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.
The good news is that there are many options that you can adapt to your needs and type of skin. Read on to find out more…
Anti spots and wrinkles
An option that covers imperfections effectively with an antiaging effect is the Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream ($12) - it contains rosemary and chamomile extracts that have calming effects, Gatuline RC that is ideal for skin regeneration, deep-moisturizing ceramides, and hyaluronic acid that helps fight the signs of age. It also comes in six shades to easily achieve the desired color and includes SPF42 protection.
For oily skin
If your skin is oily, try this vegan option. Kiko Milano Green Me Hydrating BB Cream ($12.26) is a colored and natural finished moisturizer that is available in seven shades. Its texture is light, which provides consistent cover without looking heavy.
Exotic scent and sunblock
The Hawaiian Tropic BB Cream Face & Body Sun Lotion SPF30 ($21) is an ideal cream to even the skin color both in the face and in the body, and provides a radiant and unifying effect. It features UV protection, it's not oily, and its scent is irresistible.
3 in 1 formula
An ideal option to enhance your glow is the Clarins SPF 25 Skin Detox Fluid BB Cream ($32.78), since it has 3D Eclat pigments, which help hide imperfections, with a combination of organic kiwi extracts and hyaluronic acid, which revitalizes dull and tired skin and provides triple protection, thanks to its anti-pollution complex, UV filters, and vitamin E. Undoubtedly, a very powerful all-in-one!
For extra hydration
A multi-benefit softening cream that moisturizes for 24 hours, protects from the sun with SPF15, unifies, stimulates luminosity, and corrects skin imperfections in one step is Lancôme Hydra Zen Beauty Balm Cream ($47.97). It's a very complete alternative that comes in three tones, ideal to wrap your face in a very natural and illuminating veil.
Select the correct 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.
