BB BB cream!
Yes, they’re still around – there’s no end to the BB cream trend. The latest one is from Bobbi Brown, and I love it for one thing alone – it has an SPF35 in it. Now that we are actually getting some sunny (and hot) parts of days at least, I’m very careful to use an SPF. You should use one on your face all the time, but I know how hard it can be. You’ve applied your foundation, it doesn’t have an SPF, and that’s that.
Now, if you have been on Mars (and that’s not so far-fetched now is it?!), then you may not know that a BB cream is sort of skincare/makeup hybrid product which originated in Asia. This formula for Bobbi combines moisturiser, treatment, SPF and a lightweight foundation in one. It’s available in five skin tone correct shades carefully formulated by Bobbi herself.
And here’s a science bit from the Bobbi website: “The secret to its multitasking magic: Water-attracting molecules boost hydration; light reflective pearls brighten dull skin; botanical extracts and caffeine reduce discolouration and redness; pore-reducing peptides minimise fine lines; and finally, broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection and antioxidants fend off future damage.”
It’s lovely to use, as are all Bobbi products in my opinion, and is great for seeing out summer. Bobbi also has a new foundation coming out in September, more on that one later!
