Some are said to have skin whitening or brightening properties, others are anti-acne, some are anti-wrinkle, some are intended to even out skin tone, and yet others to lighten blemish scars. BB creams are sometimes used like a primer under foundation, and if tinted may even replace foundation.

Rolanjona Acne removing mask [review]

On a recent shopping trip to china town my sister Seba and I came upon a small trinket shop. As I waltz to their beauty section (LIKE A BOSS) I noticed a bottle of BB cream. My first instinct is that they were selling it but sadly they shop owner laughed and said "No,that's mine!" This sparked a whole conversation about skin. Seba started talking about break outs which I don't get so the shop owner started suggesting products. She gave her a facial cleanser and a tool for pimples and black heads. Lastly she recommended a acne removing mask from Rolanjona called "Lulanjina for mask". They were $17.00 for a box of 10 masks. So of course being the loving sister she is she gave me a mask to try :D.
