What is BB cream, you ask? Crawl out from under that rock you're living under, because it's the latest and greatest thing in beauty (until next season that is). Also known as Blemish Balm, Beauty Balm, Blemish Base and whole host of other double-B word pairs, BB cream is a multi-tasking product that combines serum, moisturizer, primer, foundation and sunblock to create the ultimate must-have. A German dermatologist initially created BB cream to protect and heal the skin of her post-op patients. But it wasn't until Korean celebrities credited it for their flawless, porcelain complexions in the 1980s that it became a trend.
