We are proud to introduce our newest launch: The BB Filter. This BB cream has been developed to care for your skin, even out your complexion, and protect it from the sun all in one simple step.
BB creams have been popular in the world of beauty and skincare for years. But what exactly is a BB cream, and why do so many people use this product daily? In this blog, we explain what a BB cream is, its benefits, and who it is suitable for.
What does BB Cream mean?
BB cream stands for Blemish Balm or Beauty Balm. It is a multifunctional product that combines skincare and makeup. In terms of texture and coverage, a BB cream falls between a day cream and a foundation.
Originally, BB cream was developed in the 1960s in Germany to care for the skin after cosmetic treatments such as laser procedures. Later, the product became extremely popular in Asia, where an even complexion is considered a major beauty ideal. Today, BB cream has become an essential part of beauty routines in the Netherlands as well, as it is an ideal product for daily use without the heavy feel of makeup.
What does a BB Cream do?
Most BB creams are multifunctional. They hydrate the skin, even out the complexion, conceal minor imperfections, protect against the sun with SPF, and care for the skin with active ingredients.
Thanks to this combination of benefits, a BB cream is ideal for anyone who wants to look fresh without wearing heavy makeup.
What is The BB Filter?
The BB Filter is an advanced, multifunctional 3-in-1 formula that combines skincare, complexion-evening, and sun protection in one step. It is a tinted day cream with natural coverage, without giving the feeling of wearing a mask of makeup. That makes this product highly suitable for women and men of all ages.
The formula gives you a healthy, fresh appearance with a sun-kissed effect. In addition, The BB Filter contains a full broad-spectrum SPF 30 (UVA and UVB).
Its nourishing effect is enhanced by highly concentrated hyaluronic acid, enriched with pumpkin seed extract, jojoba oil, and almond oil. These ingredients help to intensely hydrate, nourish, and keep the skin supple throughout the day.
What is the difference between a BB Cream and a foundation?
A frequently asked question is: what is the difference between a BB cream and foundation? The main difference lies in the coverage and skincare benefits:
Foundation usually provides higher coverage and is primarily focused on makeup, whereas a BB cream offers lighter coverage and focuses more on skincare. If you are going for a natural, everyday look, a BB cream is often a better choice than foundation.
Which skin type is a BB Cream suitable for?
A major advantage of BB cream is that it is suitable for almost every skin type. When choosing a BB cream, always pay attention to the ingredients and properties that match your specific skin type.
How do you use The BB Filter?
The BB Filter is very easy to use. Apply it directly after your moisturizer. Then distribute The BB Filter evenly over your face using your fingers, a sponge, or a brush.
You can wear The BB Filter on its own or combine it with concealer and powder for slightly more coverage. For lighter coverage, you can also mix The BB Filter with your favourite moisturizer.
Why choose a BB Cream?
The main benefits of a BB cream are:
-
Time-saving: multiple products in one
-
Provides a natural result
-
Cares for the skin and evens out the complexion
-
Suitable for daily use
For those who love a minimalist beauty routine, a BB cream is truly a must-have.
In conclusion: What is a BB Cream?
A BB cream is a versatile product that combines skincare and makeup. The BB Filter is a great example: it hydrates, evens out, and protects the skin while providing a fresh and natural appearance. Whether you have a busy morning or simply want to wear less makeup, a BB cream is a smart and popular choice.
