Bb Cream: Usage and Benefits

Introduction

BB cream is a multipurpose cream that serves our skin from a different aspect. It is a single cream that can act as a moisturizer, sunscreen, face primers, concealer and foundation. The idea of bb cream has been developed and introduced by a German dermatologist, who made this single cream to cover all the basic purpose of skin care.

Nowadays BB cream has made its place in every beauty conscious woman’s cosmetic box. Ponds White Beauty BB cream comes in a sleek white tube with silver color metallic cap. The opening portion of the tube has an elongated nozzle so that you only get the quantity you require at a time without wasting the cream. Here I’m going to explain how to use BB cream step by step.

Step by step application

First clean your face with good quality face wash to remove all traces of dirt, pollution and make up residues accumulated on your skin.Perfectly cleansed skin creates the best base of dabbing any sort of makeup. Clear and squeaky clean skin enables the foundation or bb cream to absorb and set well.

Applying moisturizer is the key to get perfectly dewy and smooth skin prior to applying BB cream or foundation. And it ensures that BB cream does not settle into dry skin and does not look cakey and unnatural.

Take out the pea size amount of BB cream on your clean and washed hands and only pea size cream is enough for covering your entire face. Taking the cream on your hands is necessary as the heat of the hand will let the cream melt easily and help to blend it quickly and evenly.

Apply the cream in five dots on five prominent areas like chin, forehead, cheeks and nose. One dot in the middle of forehead, one on the tip of nose, one dot on left cheek, one dot on right cheek and one dot on chin. Dab the cream onto your finger to apply on your face. Remember all dots should be equal in portion to let the cream spread evenly. Never apply bb cream in large splotches and streaks otherwise it will let your skin weighted down. You should use the cream sparsely and small amount of it will be enough for your entire face.

Use your middle and index finger to pat the BB cream into your skin. You should rub the BB cream into your skin using circular motion. In place of keeping your skin in direct touch to fingers, keep your finger up and down while rubbing. Light and smooth pressure helps cream to spread gently. Start with forehead and work your way down towards both cheeks from the middle. Next, move on to your nose and chin. Again, finish off with cheeks to get the perfect and even look.

Using your fingertips for using BB cream can invite extra oil to your skin so using sponge for applying BB cream is best to blend the cream for people with oily skin. First, spritz the makeup sponge with facial mist to let the cream spread on your face smoothly. Apply ponds BB cream in five dots.

Only make up sponge is needed to smooth the cream into your skin in place of hands. Use firm, even and outwards strokes with sponge to blend the cream into skin. Start with forehead and work your ways towards the side of forehead from the center. Next, it is time to concentrate on nose and chin. Then blend the cream gently into your both cheeks using outward strokes. Using a sponge can throw the moisture levels of your skin off, so using a moisturizing facial mist can help prevent this.

This technique is best for liquid foundation or BB cream not for balmy and thick creams. People with dry skin should never use sponge as sponge can strip the natural moisture off skin furthermore. Use firm and even outward brush to blend the cream perfectly. A stroke by brush is always a little softer than the stroke by hands. Apply five dots of BB cream to forehead, two cheeks, chin and nose in equal proportion. Start at the center of your forehead with little pressure and brush the cream out towards top and side. Next brush the BB cream on your nose up and down and on chin from side to side. Blend the cream in your cheeks till it meets the all the areas of your skin you have applied cream on.

You should always use light pressure when your use BB cream under eye areas whether you are using the cream with hands, brush or sponge. Gentle press of cream under eyes prevents the cream from settling into fine lines and wrinkles around your eyes. Strokes motion can strain your eyes muscles which is very sensitive.

Let the BB cream dry off a bit for few minutes and you may notice some imperfections which may be visible after some time. Dab some extra amount of BB cream on your minor blemishes to conceal them and create an even toned skin. Do not apply the cream in streaks or in large splotches. You should use the cream sparsely, apply a thin layer to avoid making your skin look too heavy or weighted down. By using a gentle patting pressure near your eyes, you prevent the fine lines that may show up when the dragging, stroke motion strains the skin around your eye, which is especially sensitive.

If you want your BB cream to last long then you can definitely top it off with loose or translucent powder to create a perfect look that really lasts longer. People with oily skin can use loose powder to absorb the greasiness of cream or foundation to create a shiny-free and even toned skin.
