OK, so I know that this is a stupid question but what is a BB Cream? I'm sorry, I have no idea. Also, are there any good products that you recommend? I would like to start using one. Thanks! Xoxo :)

It's a tinted moisturizer. It moisturizes your skin while covering up small blemishes. It doesn't help with covering up blemishes much, but is still a great moisturizer and a great investment depending on which brand.

It is not really a tinted moisturizer. BB means Beauty Balm, it is founded in the eastern lands (asia and so on), so obviously that is where you can find the best BB creams and the best BB brands! A BB cream is a light coverage sort of foundation/tinted moisturizer (but most of them are buildable for example: garniers one). It also hydrates the skin (it is actually meant to be applied without applying a moisturizer first). All BB creams contain SPF, so it is very nice to wear in summer as it feels light on your skin, hydrates and protects your skin with its SPF. Some good BB creams also perfect you skin, after using them a while your skin will look healthyer (but I have not experienced that). It obviously covers up blemishes but I suggest to use a concealer beneath or over it (depending on your dark circles, redness,...). Drugstore brands I have and recommennd are Garnier and Maybelline. High-end: Clinique, Urban Decay or Smashbox! Also something good about BB: it is soooo easy and nice to apply, usually I use the MAC stippling brush for foundation ect. but my BB creams I apply with my hands :) I think BB blends better with my fingers, but for more coverage I recommend using a stippling brush!
hope this helps you! :)

It's not a tinted moisturizer. It's Beauty Balm. Most of them are designed to have some sort of skin correcting/perfecting benefits.
