The ultimate mattifying solution in a BB cream

Oily skin usually goes hand in hand with the presence of shininess, acne scars, blackheads and enlarged pores, all contributing to an unattractive and less smooth appearance.

 Several skin care and makeup products have to be applied in such skin types in order to hide these undesired imperfections. BB creams were developed as a practical alternative to fulfil the basic skin needs together with an added colour coverage. This all-in-one solution can also incorporate mattifying ingredients that make it a great candidate for oily and combination skin.

When dealing with an oily appearance, finding suitable cosmetic products and routines can become a hard task. Besides seeking a mattifying effect able to reduce shininess throughout the day, there is also a general concern to maintain the basic needs of hydration and photoprotection among others. When referring to daily solutions for such skin types, all-in-one solutions seem to be the ideal response. 

BB creams, also known as blemish balms or beauty balms, offer multiple benefits depending on each requirement. Regarding oily and combination skin, they are able to reduce the shiny skin complexion without disregarding moisturisation and UV protection. At the same time, they offer colour coverage for a more uniform and smoother complexion.
