The coverage provided is great, and it hides redness and blemishes to a great extent.
The
cream is hydrating and blends well. It is also paraben-free. Dr. Jart+ Premium
Beauty Balm SPF 45 Price: $39.00 This BB cream is a boon for women with normal
to dry skin. The lightweight, lotion-like formula hydrates the skin and
provides a beautiful dewy glow. It absorbs quickly to provide an even-toned, radiant
skin. The blemish balm has just enough coverage to hide brown spots or uneven
skin tone. The sunscreens provide protection from a broad range of UVA and UVB
radiation. The only problem is that it is available in one shade that does not
suit all skin tones, especially the darker ones. Tarte Amazonian Clay BB Tinted
Moisturizer Price: $36.00 There are days when you just do not want anything
heavy and constricting on your skin. This cream is perfect for the days when
you want the "no makeup" look. The oil-free tinted moisturizer works
well for normal to combination skin. It provides light coverage and a beautiful
dewy finish. It blends beautifully and lasts for a significantly long
time―approximately four to five hours. The best part is that it has around
eight shades so that you get a good match for your skin tone.
Estes Lauder
DayWear Anti-Oxidant Beauty Bella Gold Serum Benefit BB Creme Broad Spectrum SPF 35 Price:
$39.00 If you can remember the huge name, then you should definitely want to
check out this cream. One of the amazing things about this product include its
all-day 'Super Anti-Oxidant Complex' that protects against radical damage and
aging. It also has broad-spectrum sun protection. Since it is oil-free and
oil-controlling, the Estée Lauder BB cream works well for oily-skinned
beauties. Although the texture is thick, it spreads easily over the skin to
provide light to medium coverage. This cream is available in two shades. Revlon
Photo Ready BB Cream Skin Perfecter with SPF 30 Price: $10.99 The Revlon BB cream
with its mineral and synthetic broad-spectrum sunscreen and an excellent
hydrating formula is the perfect multitasking product for dry-skinned women.
This lightweight cream blends well to provide sheer coverage and a dewy look.
Women with oily skin would want to pair it with a mattifying powder on top.
This drugstore BB product is available in three shades. Physicians Formula
Super BB All-in-1 Beauty Cream Price: $14.95 The reason why this BB cream makes
it to the list is because of the satin-matte finish and medium coverage that it
provides. It also provides sun protection and anti-aging benefits.
The
fragrance-free, hypoallergenic formula makes it a good choice for people with
sensitive skin. It is available in two shades―Medium/Deep and Light/Medium. None
of these, however, are a good choice for extremely fair skin. Smashbox Camera
Ready BB Cream Broad Spectrum SPF 35 Price: $39.00 The fragrance-free creamy
texture provides the perfect matte finish to your face. It is, however, not the
best finish for dry-skinned girls looking for a dewy glow. Some of the
advantages of this product include the five shades it is available in and the
anti-aging peptides in the cream which reduce fine lines and wrinkles.
Moreover, it does disguise those ugly pores and works very well as a primer.
Bobbi Brown BB Cream Broad Spectrum SPF 35 Price: $42.00 It may be one of the
expensive BB creams around, but its wonderful creamy texture, broad-spectrum
sun protection, and its skin-repairing ingredients, make it worth the extra bucks.
The cream blends in like a dream to provide a gorgeous satin-smooth finish. The
coverage is sheer, and it provides a more natural finish. There are nine shades
available to suit everyone from the fair- to dark-skinned women out there.
Boscia BB Cream Broad Spectrum SPF 27 PA++ Price: $38.00 This cream contains
pure titanium dioxide sunscreen for UVA protection and a sheer tinted formula
for a beautiful glow.
It also contains arbutin that is known to diminish the
appearance of brown spots. It hydrates and soothes the skin to remove any fine
lines and wrinkles. This cream is best suited for normal to slightly dry skin.
It also fares well on sensitive skin that is not prone to blemishes. So, are BB
creams actually skincare and makeup miracles in tubes? Most of them are good
for providing color coverage and sun protection. Some of them may moisturize
the face as well. However, these products do not address all skin care issues.
With long-term use, some may find a reduction in skin discoloration and brown
spots, but these products cannot and should not be expected to do everything.
For serious skin troubles, it is best to opt for targeted treatment products.
However, BB creams are quite handy on the days when you do not want to hide
behind layers of foundation and instead, just want a quick-fix solution. Quick
Fact Wine is a major part of the Mediterranean diet, which includes a glass of
wine with dinner every day. Studies have shown that people associated with this
diet live longer and healthier lives. Wine has always been linked with
festivals and celebrations, and is considered a sophisticated drink. It has
been used since ages, and is still the first preference of a huge number of
people. Its delicious and unique taste, along with its relaxing effects on body
makes it one of the most popular drinks. However, wine has some health benefits
associated with it too.
Wine helps us live a healthy life by improving our
heart condition, preventing cancer, tooth decay, and easing cough and cold.
Because of its numerous health benefits, daily consumption of wine has been
incorporated in many cultures, most commonly, in the European culture. Wine and
Skin Health The skin is the largest organ of our body. It protects other organs
from various germs, dust, bacteria, and other harmful things. So, it is very
important to protect and nourish our skin so as to keep it healthy. Wine is
high in antioxidants; they protect the skin cells from free radicals which
cause skin damage. Red wine has higher amount of antioxidants like polyphenols,
resveratrol, and proanthocyanidins, and therefore, is better than white wine.
Studies have proved that these antioxidants help in improving the skin quality
and reducing the signs of aging. Wine is also rich in flavonoids which
increases the antioxidant activity in the cells. The red color of wine is a
result of these flavonoids. Following are some of the skin benefits which a
wine can provide. ➤
Anti-aging Effect Wine is high in antioxidants, among which, resveratrol plays
a major role in improving skin health. Antioxidants soak up the free
radicals which damage the skin and result in aging. This reduces the fine lines
caused by the aging process, and your skin starts glowing.
Polymer chains of
flavonoids called proanthocyanidins, help in maintaining collagen and elastin
throughout the body, which makes the body look younger. ➤
Blocks Ultraviolet Rays According to a study conducted in the National
Institutes of Health in the year 2005, when wine was applied externally to the
skin of a laboratory animal and then exposed to high ultraviolet
radiations, wine behaved as an excellent shield. This might prevent the
development of skin cancer. Though there is no proof that this research would
reap the same result in humans, it was concluded that it will, to some extent,
behave as a sunblock. ➤
Controls Acne In a study conducted by the American Journal of Clinical
Dermatology, participants rubbed resveratrol on the skin once in day, for 30
days. It was seen that there was about 54% of reduction in acne. Therefore,
as resveratrol is present in wine in high concentration, it definitely is very
helpful in getting rid of acne. It reduces inflammation, which further prevents
free radicals from damaging the skin. ➤
Other Skin Benefits Wine is very good for dry skin. It
restores natural skin moisture and keeps it soft and supple. It is also a very
good toner. Wine can be directly applied to the skin, which makes your skin
appear smooth. Add a cup of white wine to a cup of bran, mix it well, and use
it as a body scrub or mask. It behaves as an excellent exfoliant. These skin
benefits have made wine very popular in spas and other skin treatment centers.
One glass of wine per day is the recommended amount for consumption. But
exceeding this amount may result in some adverse effects. So, enjoy the
benefits of wine, in moderation. Apart from eating a sinful, yet delicious bar
of chocolate, there are literally hundreds of dessert recipes that use
chocolate in various forms. But who knew that you can even bathe yourself in
chocolate. Sounds wild, doesn't it?
