Do you use BB creams? Do you know what BB creams are? BB creams are not quite foundations but more like tinted moisturizers and are fairly new to the market compared to foundations that have been around for decades.
They offer a more natural-looking complexion and moisturized skin. Typically, there are fewer shades to choose from if we compare them to foundations, but they are adaptive to skin tones.
More beauty brands and cosmetic producers are turning to more natural and sustainable ways of producing their products. This stems from the interest of consumers, like you and I, who are concerned about what we put on our skin and how we treat the environment.
BB creams often contain SPF to protect our skin from the sun and also other ingredients like vitamins and plant extracts that are good for aging skin.
We’ve rounded up our favorite natural BB creams for mature women.
