Have you tried Blemish Balm (BB) Cream? See our pick of the best

The new big beauty trend to hit the UK is the BB cream, which stands for ‘blemish balm’. It is billed as the answer to all of your skincare woes. BB cream is supposed to brighten the skin in the same way as primer, even out the skin just like a lightweight foundation, cover blemishes like a concealer and hydrate the skin like a moisturiser. That is not all – the cream will also protect you from UV rays, contains anti-inflammatory properties and has anti-ageing ingredients.
