BB cream

That's a bit of a b****r then, like Anno, I've just bought serum, moisturiser and foundation!

BB cream just gives you that sort of feeling that you aren't wearing a heavy foundation but still feel that your skin has some protection from the elements whilst giving it a nice all over even glow,I use it every day and just apply over moisturiser as part of my daily routine.

BB stands for Beauty Balm. It's a tinted moisturiser really. I use Avon BB cream and sometimes put moisturiser under it and somtimes don't. Because I have a dry skin problem I sometimes put E45 cream under it.
BB cream is nice because it seems to even out variations in skin tones and
makes me look ever-so-slightly better than I do without it. (which is the whole point of using such things, I suppose!)

What does BB stand for? Baby Boomer?

They seem to be the latest thing in make-up. I've had a look at various sites and the Body Shop gives a full ingredients list which doesn't include parabens. But I've just stocked up on moisturiser and foundation so won't be buying any BB creams in the near future.

You use it on its own. It's a light cover and moisturiser that gives me a bit of a glow, and doesn't clog up wrinkles. However, if you feel you need a moisturiser, you can always use one at night, or use it a quarter of an hour before applying the BB cream and then wipe off any excess before applying the cream.

It's a bit like tinted moisturiser, but better.

will someone tell me what on earth is BB cream please

The BB Cream

kitty, sorry but what has no parabens, I will get some if you tell me what it is.

This has no parabens at all silverfish

I have very dry skin so would I use nothing at all roses and no foundation?

not sure what a BB cream is but I know I never use anything that has parabens in it. Please read the labels as manufacturers think they can use carcinogenic chemicals and will get away with it if we do not protest.
I use basic creams many I but from Holland and Barrett and have never seen any noxious chemicals in them. I also use organic oils as moisturisers.

I never use any other product with it Kitty there is no need.

I should have said the box also says to use on clean skin which, to me , implies no premoisturising!

I have a BB cream from Avon and I use my usual moisturiser before I use the tinted BB cream as I would with a foundation.
