Organic Mineral Cover BB Cream


BB CREAM. There are so many brands and types to choose from but how much do you really know about it?


Why BB Cream?
BB cream was originally developed as a recovery formula to calm irritated skin after dermatological treatment. As a result, a multi-functional product was created to calm and protect the skin while providing coverage for a flawless finish. It gained exceptional popularity in Korea, and till today is an essential part of Korean womens' skincare/makeup routine.    

BB cream, or blemish balm is excellent in covering the skin and evening out uneven skin tones, simplifying your makeup routine in one easy step. This one step cream is loved all around the world for simplifying our morning routines leaving us with flawless skin. But due to its popularity, there are so called 'BB creams' that don't fulfill its original functions of protecting the skin. Make sure that you check the ingredients and functions to ensure that you benefit from the protecting & healing qualities that BB creams were made for. 

How to apply BB Cream

 



Thick does not mean good!!
Applying a thick layer does not necessarily result in flawless skin. Squeeze a pea size amount and dab on to each cheek, then smooth out from the inside out. A small amount goes a long way, and it is important to apply it by gently tapping the BB cream rather than rubbing it in.


Extra Tip!! ★★★          
For a natural look, you need to make sure that you control how much BB cream you apply depending on the part of the face. The t-zone that connects the forehead and the bridge of the nose as well as areas around the eyes and mouth only need a very light layer of BB cream to avoid creasing and looking oily. For your T zone, applying a thin layer using left over from applying on the rest of the face is plenty to achieve a natural look. Apply very lightly on shaved skin, and avoid applying on facial hair. 



Mineral Cover BB Cream, BB cream that does the job
Not only does it cover the skin, it fulfills the original function of the BB cream, which is to calm irritated skin and protect it. The silicone free Mineral Cover BB Cream with aloe vera extract and natural mineral ingredients make it suitable for all skin types from oily skin to irritated skin giving you naturally flawless skin that lasts without feeling sticky.

Avoid contact with Eyes!
When washing children’s face, avoid contact with eyes and rinse off thoroughly with warm water to remove the surfactants from the skin. Both organic and normal cleansers are made with 30~50% surfactants which can cause irritations when in contact with eyes or left on the face.

Rinse off thoroughly!
Surfactants are an important ingredient of all cleansing products. They act as the cleaning agent, however at the same time they can be the source of irritations when left on the skin. It is important that they are properly rinsed off (warm water is even more effective) so that there are no surfactant residue left on the skin.

O’SUM works towards achieving a fair trade with the consumers by clearly communicating the details of the products.
