SPF (Sun Protection Factor)

This is an indicator of the degree of protection against UVB radiation. According to the recommendations of the European Commission, sun care products are divided into four levels of protection: low SPF 6 and 10, medium SPF 15, 20, 25, high SPF 30 and 50, very high protection SPF 50+.

Important.

Pigmentation on the skin can result from overexposure to the sun, hormonal disorders or the use of certain medications. If you have noticed hyperpigmentation, perform a basic blood test and consult an endocrinologist.

Cosmetologists' reviews of BB creams from Missha

Missha is a Korean brand that focuses primarily on quality and nutrient richness. The BB creams contain a variety of plant extracts and extracts with proven positive effects on the skin. It is a recommended brand that inspires confidence, is safe and easily accessible. An excellent balance between make-up and care.

Katarzyna SrebrCosmetologist

One of my favourites! The presence of moisturising active ingredients and UV filters means that we can indirectly treat this product as part of our morning skincare. It covers very well, leaving a natural finish. It will look like a second skin on most people! It definitely meets my expectations.

Wiktoria ZychCosmetologist

Thanks to its valuable ingredients and sun protection, Missha BB cream can successfully replace skincare cream. It has no comedogenic effect (does not clog pores). The arbutin content brightens the skin and helps to reduce inflammation. In addition, it contains rosehip oil, which is excellent for moisturising and regenerating.

Natalia StępaCosmetologist

What is BB cream?

BBB cream is an abbreviation for Beauty Balm or Blemish Balm - which means 'beautifying, nurturing balm'. A BB cream is usually a combination of skincare and foundation. The cosmetic provides gentle coverage and unifies the skin tone and has skin-nourishing properties.

Who is BB cream for?

BBB cream will work well for people:

with dry skin,
with sensitive or vascular skin,
with a tendency to blackheads and inflammation,
who like delicate make-up such as make up no make up,
who do not like to spend a lot of time on make-up,

How to match the shade of BB cream to your face?

Match the shade of any 'colour' cosmetic to the skin tone on your neck. Apply a small amount of BB cream below the jawline, wait a moment to ensure that the cosmetic does not darken due to contact with the air and assess the final colour. If it is virtually imperceptible on the neck and jawline, this means that the colour will look perfect on the face too.

Worth knowing

Want to buy BB cream online? If you're interested in buying a product you haven't used before and aren't sure which shade will work best, the colours shown next to the cream will help. Remember - view them without the blue light filter on.

FAQ

Does Missha BB cream clog pores?

No, BB cream does not clog pores, due to its lightweight formula and simple formulation. Missha cream can be used by those with acne-prone, oily and seborrheic-prone skin. It creates a natural make-up effect and even coverage on the skin, without comedogenic effects.

What is the difference between BB and CC creams?

CCC creams have a heavier formula and provide stronger skin coverage than BB creams, which will only cover minor imperfections such as blemishes. CC creams will also cover redness, acne scars and dark spots such as after sunbathing or those occurring with hormonal disorders.

How to choose the colour of a BB cream?

Choose your BB cream according to the skin tone on your neck. Apply a small amount of cream below the jawline, wait a moment to make sure it doesn't darken due to air contact and assess the final colour. If it is unnoticeable on the neck and jawline, it will also look perfect on the face.

Is BB cream better than foundation?

BBB cream cannot be considered on a par with foundation because it has a different formula, is lighter and conceals fewer skin imperfections unlike foundation which will mask pimples, blemishes, scars. Despite its many nourishing properties, BB cream will not cover the face as effectively as foundation.

Does one give a cream underneath a BB cream?

You do not need to apply a cream or serum under the BB cream. You can apply BB cream directly to cleansed and dried facial skin. If you have a BB cream without SPF, it is a good idea to apply screen cream first before applying it to protect yourself from harmful UV exposure.

What is a good BB cream for mature skin?

Good BB creams for mature skin are Missha M Perfect Cover, because of its moisturising properties and excellent coverage, and Missha Signature Wrinkle Filler BB Cream, which contains retinol and other skin-valuable ingredients to nourish and give a luminous glow.

Does BB cream need to be washed off?

BBB cream should be washed off every time, as the skin needs to be cleansed and allowed to breathe after a day in make-up. If BB cream is not washed off, it clogs pores and worsens the complexion. BB cream does not clog pores per se, only improper facial skin care.
