If an item was available that minimized the number of products you put on your face as well as your time in front of the mirror, would you try it? Of course you would; who couldn’t use a little extra time and money? I first spoke about the combo product, dubbed B.B., which stands for “Beauty Balm” when reviewing Dr. Jart+’s B.B. products several months ago, and became instantly hooked on the lighter than air, mousse-like substance. Originally created in Germany by dermatologists to aid in healing of the skin for laser surgery patients, the product gained popularity in Korea and has the opportunity to become even more mainstream via its latest iteration.
Now Garnier has perfected and made Beauty Balms easily accessible nationwide, come February 2012 with the Garnier Skin Renew Miracle Skin Perfector B.B. Cream. Available in two skin tones option (light/medium and medium/deep), the ultra-light substance provides SPF 15 UVA/UVB protection, 24 hour moisture, evens skin tone, gives a tint, and even includes Vitamin C. Retailing for $12.99, you really can’t beat this price and product that combos up SPF, a moisturizer, and foundation or powder coverage found in one easy step.
