Want flawless skin? 



Tired of searching for a Blemish Balm? Lets face it BB cream isn't really ideal for women of color.So lets make our own.

What is BB cream?

BB cream, also known as Blemish Balm or Blemish Base or Beblesh Balm, is a cosmetic item sold in East and Southeast Asia.Originally formulated in Germany, it was initially used by dermatologists to help laser surgery patients protect, soothe and refine highly sensitive skin while providing light coverage for post-laser scars, acne and other blemishes.BB creams come in a variety of different formulations. 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.

BB cream comes in different skin tones but none suitable for most women of color. So today I am going to show you how to make your own to suit you. keep reading for a video.
