Recently, I have the feeling that people have gone crazy about BB creams.

To be honest, when I heard of these "BB cream", I did a Google search to find out what" BB "meant.

For those uninformed like me, the "BB" means "Beauty Balm ".

And in French, what does that mean? We could translate that by "anti-imperfection balm" or "beauty balm".

Curious to know more about this cream everyone is talking about? And especially on how to make your homemade BB cream ? So let's go !

What is a BB cream?

A BB cream is a kind of all-in-one beauty product that can replace moisturizer, serum, primer, foundation, and even sunscreen for your face on its own.

Yes, just that! Worn alone or under your makeup, this is the ideal cream to apply.

Originally, BB cream was created in the 1960s by German dermatologist Christine Schrammek. It was designed to help the skin of patients to heal after surgery.

20 years later, she made her appearance in South Korea where her popularity quickly exploded. With Asians' porcelain complexion and healthy skin, it's no wonder this cream has been so successful.

Why is she so popular?

Of course, there are always trendy products. But when something has been successful for 50 years and it lasts, there has to be a good reason.

The all-in-one formula of BB creams is in fact the ideal tool to hide and treat acne, give your skin radiance for an evening, moisturize it, fight against the signs of aging , protect your skin from harmful sun damage and soothe inflammation or redness.

But I would say that what makes this product so interesting is that you can make your own homemade BB cream yourself without too much difficulty.

Are you curious to know how? Here is the easy recipe for homemade BB cream:

How to make your own homemade BB cream?

Ingredients

- 1 teaspoon of chamomile powder

- 1 teaspoon of burdock root oil

- 1 teaspoon of witch hazel water

- 1 tablespoon of mineral powder of the color of your complexion

- 1 teaspoon of coconut oil

- 1 teaspoon of rosehip oil

- 1 teaspoon of melted beeswax

- 1/3 cup of aloe vera juice

- 2 drops of tea tree essential oil

- 2 drops of peppermint essential oil

- 1/4 teaspoon cetyl alcohol

- 1 teaspoon of vodka as a preservative (optional)

How to do

Once you have gathered all the ingredients, follow these steps:

1. In a double boiler, put the coconut oil, rosehip oil and beeswax. Heat gently until everything melts.

2. Stir regularly. Once the beeswax is completely melted, add your tea tree and peppermint essential oil to it. If you want to add vodka as a preservative, now is the time to do it.

3. Now that all of your oils are mixed, pour this liquid into a clean container and set it aside.

4. Melt cetyl alcohol in a saucepan. And in another saucepan, heat your aloe vera juice. Once it comes to a boil, add cetyl alcohol to it.

5. It's time to add your powders. Make sure they mix well. You can use a mixer or a whisk, depending on your preference. I'm more of an electric mixer ... it takes a lot less effort!

6. Once everything is as smooth as a baby's bottom, add the mixture of oils that you have set aside and mix.

7. Pour the contents into a clean container.

Results

There you go, your homemade BB cream is ready to use :-)

Who would have thought that making your BB cream is (relatively) so easy!

I don't know what you think about it, but personally I prefer to save my money and especially know what products I put on my face.

Still better than putting chemicals on the skin, right?

For the 1st step, you can use 2 containers of different sizes, with a few centimeters of water in the bottom of the larger one and the smaller one in the larger one.
