This $12 BB cream gives you a flawless complexion that costs less than a brunch mimosa.
When you want to appear as if you actually drink eight glasses of water a day, treat your skin to a BB cream since they tend to offer all the complexion-evening benefits of a light-to-medium foundation in a speedier formula that also protects you from the elements. They do double duty to work skin care into your makeup routine so you can more efficiently do both — how clever.
As if BB creams didn't have enough benefits, they're also extremely easy to apply. Both Allen and Dorman agree that you can use just about any of your favorite tools to smooth these effortless formulas onto your skin — even if the said tool is your hand. "You can use a sponge, foundation brush, or your fingers, and gently dab the product for a natural, skin-like finish," says Allen.
If you're ready to switch over to more breathable complexion products with skin-care benefits like broad-spectrum sun protection, then a BB cream is in your near future.
