This article was originally featured on the MonkeyToMan blog as a guest post by yours truly on Aug 24th. Now the adverts have started and the craze is beginning, I thought I should pop this on my site and welcome you all to the world of BB Creams:
Okay guys and gals, I would like to introduce Thom from ManFace.co.uk who agreed to do this in depth article regarding BB Creams. I hope you enjoy!
We in the UK are on the edge of something new and revolutionary that’s swept Asia, particularly Korea, by storm. BB Creams, or Blemish Balm Creams are the new all in one. They give coverage of blemishes, scars and pigmentation marks, whilst brightening the skin, reducing skin pigmentation, and in some cases, refining lines, wrinkles and pores. What’s not to love?
This revolutionary technology is attributed to Polish born Dr. Christine Schrammek, who came to be one of Germany’s most successful dermatologists. She developed the Blemish Balm to cover and treat skin stresses that often come hand in hand with cosmetic procedures. It was then expanded from the cosmetic procedure market to the general mass market and became huge in South Korea and has now expanded throughout the rest of Asia.
This I can see, will be a huge phenomenon and to be honest, for both men and women. The coverage is low-key, and provides a virtually undetectable finish, with fantastic treatment benefits.
For anyone suffering from Acne Vulgaris, Rosacea and similar skin concerns, I would recommend this type of product. The broad-spectrum sun protection really appeals to me, as this prevents many dark marks from developing in the first place.
Now, several variations have been released, and by some pretty big players, which tells us this is one to watch as well as the fact that there are wildly varying price points so it’s going to come at us from all angles of the market.
• Clinique Age Defense BB Cream SPF30/PA+++ 1.4 OZ
• Estee Lauder CyberWhite Brilliant Cells Extra Intensive BB Cream SPF 35 PA+++
• Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector Daily All-In-One B.B. Blemish Balm Cream
All I can say is that it’s coming. Get ready.
