Basic moisturizer versus bb cream: how are they different on skin?
BB cream and basic moisturizers have a lot in common. They hydrate your skin, can help protect your skin’s barrier function and can keep your skin happy and healthy-looking. However there are some notable differences between BB cream and basic moisturizers and if you’ve been wondering what additional benefits BB cream can have we’re going to give you some insight today.
How Basic Moisturizer And BB Cream Are Different
1. BB Cream Covers Blemishes
While a basic moisturizer can help you manage blemishes, BB cream can actually hide them on your face. Tinted minerals can minimize the look of blackheads, whiteheads, dark spots and dull skin. BB cream can give your complexion an overhaul by making your skin look more even and more energized. It’s a supercharged moisturizer that can take your skin from drab to fab in a matter of minutes. Garnier SkinActive’s 5-in-1 Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream can easily conceal your blemishes to reveal a glowing complexion.
2. BB Cream Has SPF
Many basic moisturizers don’t contain SPF which is one of the most important elements of skin care. By not protecting yourself from the sun you are susceptible to sun damage, sunburns and dark spots forming on your skin. Utilize a BB cream with broad spectrum SPF (this covers UVA and UVB) to protect your skin from sun damage. The sun is the number one factor in aging our skin and using BB cream formulated with SPF on a regular basis can help prevent that.
3. BB Cream Can Perfect Your Skin
On its own or under make up BB cream has the ability to give you a photo-ready finish by smoothing and perfecting your skin. BB cream can give you an overall more-even complexion and your skin a healthier look because it has skin care-like functions that can make your skin more beautiful over time. It also creates a great base for foundation or concealer which can go on more evenly and can often last longer because mineral particles fix the product. Use it alone or under other products for a filter-like finish on your skin.
