Introduction:
If there is one beauty essential that seamlessly combines skincare and make-up while delivering a radiant and long-lasting glow, it is a BB cream! This all-in-one product hydrates, primes, protects, and provides perfectly natural, flawless coverage for that beautiful skin.
However, to unlock the full potential of a BB cream, you should be aware of the right way to layer a BB cream with your daily skincare routine. Here is how you can layer the BB cream with your anti-pigmentation treatment like POND’S Anti-Pigmentation Serum and look your best while keeping your skin healthy, happy, and radiant!
Step 1: Cleanse your skin with a face cleanser:
Before applying anything to your face, always take some time to cleanse it using a gentle yet deep face cleanser that suits your skin type and skincare needs. First, wet your skin using room temperature water, take a small amount of face wash of your choice on your palms, and rub your palms together to create a smooth lather. Apply the lather on your face and neck in a circular motion. Massage the face wash for a minute on your skin using your fingers. Use room temperature water to thoroughly clean your skin. Now, take a soft cloth and gently pat dry your face and neck, prepping for the next step.
Step 2: Face serum to nourish and treat your skin
Now that your skin is free from accumulated dirt, dead cells, and impurities, it is time to address specific concerns with a face serum packed with concentrated active ingredients. If you are dealing with active pigmentation, skin dullness, and stubborn acne marks, look for face serums rich in ingredients like Niacinamide, Glutathione Precursor, and Vitamin C.
Apply a few drops of the face serum on your freshly washed skin and use your fingertips to spread it evenly. Allow the formula to be completely absorbed and settled on your skin for a minute.
Step 3: Hydrate with a moisturiser
Even though BB creams include some moisturising property, it is not sufficient for your skin. Choose a lightweight and skin-brightening cream like POND’S Bright Beauty Anti Spot Serum Cream those hydrates, brightens, and nourishes your skin after every application.
Take a nickel-sized amount of cream and apply it all over your face and neck. Use your fingers to massage and blend the cream on your skin.
Step 4: Apply sunscreen
Post hydration, it is time to protect your skin with a broad-spectrum sunscreen that shields your skin from harmful UV rays, environmental stressors, and other damaging effects of the sun. However, to reap the maximum benefits of the sunscreen, ensure you apply it in the right quantity. Take two strips of sunscreen on your index and middle finger and apply it all over your face and neck. You should apply the sunscreen at least 15 to 20 minutes before exposing your skin to the sun as this allows better absorption and makes your skin resilient to harmful UV rays.
Step 5: Glow up with BB cream
Now enter the star of your replenishing skincare routine, BB cream! For a seamless natural glow, it is essential to choose the right shade of BB cream that matches your skin tone. If you are unsure about your shade, visit a beauty cosmetic store near you and apply a small amount of the BB cream on your jawline. Wait for some time to see how the BB cream truly appears on your skin after oxidation. Choose the shade that blends well with original skin tone and looks natural on your skin even after oxidation.
A little goes a long way with BB cream. Start by blending a small pea-sized amount of BB cream on your skin and add a little more only if needed. You can use a beauty blender or your fingertips to blend the product on your skin. Keep blending the product till it becomes even with your skin. Go ahead and use some blush and eyeliner following loose powder or compact powder to finish your everyday nature makeup look.
Conclusion
Bonus tip: If you love the feel of the natural glow on your skin and want your makeup to stay intact throughout the day, set your BB cream with a setting spray. This simple addition helps extend the wear time of your makeup while keeping it fresh and preventing smudging or fading throughout the day.
With little care, proper application techniques, and the right BB shade, achieving a radiant and flawless skin is just a few steps away!
