Beauty // DIY BB Cream

pardon my cuticles :)

Lately I've been feeling the need to cut down on the amount of products I put on my face. I've never been one to put too many products on my face anyway, but, I've always gone the moisturizer-primer-foundation-concealer-powder-setting spray route. Blending in my foundation takes few precious seconds when I'm getting ready for work and I wondered how I could cut back on the seconds and yet achieve the look.   BB Creams! What's a BB Cream? BB stands for Beauty Balm or Blemish Balm. BB Creams are all-in-one formulations that provide coverage and help shorten beauty regimen.  Who Should Use a BB Cream? You. If you're not into 'heavy' make up or you want something that does not 'stress' you to apply then BB Creams are for you. Where to Purchase a BB Cream? There are many brands of BB Creams with varied price ranges. Now, if you already have a liquid foundation and maybe, you want to try out the feel and look of a BB Cream before you make the plunge or like me you don't want an additional product taking space on your vanity table then DIY-ing your own BB Cream is the way to go. How Do I Make my Own BB Cream? It's quite easy! Simply get a clean pot, squeeze in some of your liquid foundation and then some of your facial moisturizer. Mix them both thoroughly and voila! Your very own BB Cream! Tip: I usually put in some fresh aloe vera gel in my weekly pots. How To Use a BB Cream? 1. I apply it onto my face with my fingertips like I would my moisturizer. If you don't like getting products on your hands you can always use a beauty blender.   2. Next, I set my face using a setting powder. That's all.
