- Multifunctional; A universal remedy that is suitable for any type of skin, because it copes with various tasks: moisturizes, tightens, eliminates oily sheen, heals. Ideal for girls with combination skin.
- Moisturizing; having a Korean cream on hand eliminates the need to purchase a special moisturizer, because this type of cosmetics is excellent for dry skin.

Any BB cream actively fights against skin imperfections, eliminating and hiding them, while not turning the surface of the face into a porcelain mask. It is especially worth noting creams marked "Premium", because they contain special components that slow down the aging process.
Compound
Almost all Korean BB creams have a similar composition, which contains the following ingredients:
- Collagenthat prevents skin aging;
- Vitamin E, maintaining a healthy complexion and protecting from sunlight;
- D-panthenol, soothing, healing and moisturizing the skin.
In addition to the main components, various natural ingredients are added to multifunctional cosmetics.
So, "premium" BB products with snail (snail secret) and ginseng are very popular.Due to the rich ingredient composition, Korean cosmetics have a lot of useful properties, including photoprotection, which is especially necessary for fair-skinned girls.
How to choose
Choosing a Korean-made foundation is quite simple, unlike European counterparts, because it is available in one color and is suitable for any skin tone. However, there are some differences regarding the action of cosmetics, so you should take a closer look at the composition on the package so that the choice is not wrong.
Owners of dry skin should try the multifunctional option that is in the line of any manufacturer. Usually on the package with a universal cream it is written that it can be used on any face skin, including oily and normal. But for dry skin, it is best to choose a moisturizing BB cream, because it is specially designed to combat dryness. In order not to be mistaken, carefully read what is written and if you see the mark “Water drop”, then feel free to purchase it as a daily moisturizer.

How to use
BB cream is a special cosmetic product, and therefore it is not easy to use it, as it might seem at first glance. To get the maximum benefit from the cream, you need to master the rules of use, which consist of several stages:
- Training; In order for the product to be well absorbed, it is necessary to properly cleanse the skin of the face. To do this, you need not only to wash your face with warm water, but also treat it with a special lotion. If the skin has too enlarged pores, then they must be “covered up” with a special serum.
- Application; use cosmetics for application only after the skin becomes completely dry. When the face is ready, gently squeeze a few drops of the cream onto your fingers and spread it evenly. For dense skin, the option of lightly “driving in” the cream is suitable. If desired, a matching powder can be applied over the cream.
- Action; here everything is individual.Someone does makeup "on the way out" - a party, photography, going to the movies. In this case, it will take a couple of hours. However, a quality BB cream is able to last on the face throughout the day. You choose.
- Withdrawal; due to its exclusivity, BB cream should also be washed off exclusively, because ordinary warm water will not completely remove it. The best wash in this case is hydrophilic oil, which must be applied to dry hands and gently treated with it on the face. With light massaging movements, the oil should be applied over the skin until it is completely mixed with cosmetics. Only then can you wash with warm water. A more modern way is a foam that needs to be carefully distributed over the face, wait a while and rinse with water.
- Completion; after washing off the make-up, a caring lotion or nourishing cream should be applied to the face.
Use it correctly and the result will not keep you waiting.
