BB Cream, how to use it: what is it?
The formula of BB Cream meets a very precise specifications. So, the main feature of this new product, which proves that it is a real BB Cream, is the transformation. It must operate on two levels: the mesh and the pigmentation that adapts to the skin.
The formula of a real BB Cream always has complex volatile ingredients that have a role in the application process of the product. These ingredients will then evaporate on contact with the heat of the skin and the air. The other assets of the formula will then form as links. They will stretch on the skin and, a little like a tights, to form like a veil on the complexion. It is this combination of volatile ingredients and active links that allows the BB Cream to have a finish so transparent and light on the skin while in appearance, its texture seems rather thick. This new formula is also what makes the real BB Cemes leave the skin breathe, are never comedogenic and provide a little camouflage but in a natural way.
The second element of the transformation is the fact that the hue of a BB Cream must adapt to the complexion of each. For this, their formula must contain chameleon pigments that take the color of the skin on which they are applied. As with volatile ingredients, the transformation occurs just after application. This is also seen instantly, once on the skin, BB Creams no longer have the same color as in the tube. This is one of the things that differentiate this product from a foundation. Instead of hiding the skin with a pigment tint, the pigment adapts. Another advantage: with a real BB Cream, there is never a demarcation.
How do you recognize a real BB Cream?
In fact, some of the BB Creams on the market are actually tinted skincare or new generation foundations. A real BB Cream must always be transformed on the skin. If there is no transformation, it is that it is not a BB Cream but a simple tinted care. The formula must also always contain chameleon pigments. As for the sun protection factor, that of a real BB Cream is necessarily high, the SPF must be at least 20. Finally, the texture must also be protected from light and air. Thus, it must be contained in a specific tube containing aluminum. Simple plastic tubes are not suitable.
