What is BB Cream?
BB Cream is basically the mixture of 6 essential beauty products - Moisturizer, Serum, primer, concealer, foundation and sun-block. The beauty product manufacturers combine these beauty products in the secret ratio to form the BB cream for different skin types. It won't be wrong to say that BB cream is a multi-tasker product for beautiful skin.
According to Wikipedia, Dr. Christine Schrammek is the creator of BB cream. The BB cream came into existence in Germany in 1960. Dr. Christine was looking for the product which can take care of the skin of the people who has gone through the facial surgery. She developed the product popularly known as BB Cream especially for her patients who used it post facial surgery.
