FAQs BB Creams

1. What does BB cream stand for? BB stands for "Blemish Balm" or "Beauty Balm," a multitasking product that blends skincare and makeup benefits.
   
   
2. What’s the difference between BB cream and foundation? BB creams offer lighter coverage with added skincare benefits, while foundations provide more coverage and a wider range of finishes.
   
   
3. Can I use BB cream instead of moisturiser? Some BB creams are hydrating enough to replace moisturiser, but if you have very dry skin, you may still need a separate moisturiser underneath.
   
   
4. Do BB creams contain SPF? Many BB creams include SPF for sun protection, but check the label to confirm the level of protection provided.
   
   
5. Are BB creams suitable for oily skin? Yes—look for oil-free or mattifying formulas that help control shine without clogging pores.
   
   
6. Can BB cream replace my foundation? If you prefer a natural, lightweight finish, BB cream can be used instead of foundation. For full coverage, you may still want to use foundation.
   
   
7. How do I apply BB cream? Apply with fingers, a sponge or brush, starting from the centre of your face and blending outward for even coverage.
   
   
8. Is BB cream good for sensitive skin? Many formulas are gentle and contain soothing ingredients, but always check for fragrance-free or hypoallergenic options if your skin is reactive.
