Blemish Balm: The cosmetic and skincare hybrid

More affectionately known as BB cream, they have been all the rage in recent years. Dubbed as “the secret of Korean actresses”, the cream was initially used to protect skin after laser procedures and surgery while providing light coverage at the same time. It was introduced to South Korea and Japan in the 1980s and has since hit the shores of both Asia and Western countries.

The reason for its increasing popularity? It’s said to be an all in one product - moisturiser, sunblock, primer, foundation and concealer. In other words, it’s a cosmetic and skincare hybrid, your answer to all your skincare woes in a single application. It brightens skin in the same way a primer does, evens out complexion like a lightweight foundation, covers blemishes like a concealer, has the hydrating properties of a moisturiser, soothes skin like an anti- inflammatory, contains UV protection so there’s no need to apply sunblock.

Contrary to what most people think, the BB cream didn’t originate from South Korea, it is actually from Germany and was created in the 50s. Leading Asian brands include Missha, The Face Shop, Etude House, Skin Food and Skin79. Brands in Western markets began to launch BB creams in 2011. For example Dr. Jart, Garnier, Clinique, Estee Lauder and Dior.
