Kim Hyun Joong The Face Shop "The World of BB Creams” [Mar 2011]

The Face Shop brings consumers seven BB Creams to address different skin concerns.

1. Quick & Clean Oil-Free Blemish Balm (PHP 595) is The Face Shop’s first BB Cream, which comes from its highly popular anti-acne skincare line Quick & Clean. This Blemish Balm provides a light and natural-looking coverage, masking acne scars and uneven skin tone, while anti-bacterial, blemish-fighting ingredients like Tea Tree, Lemon Myrtle, and Honey keep pimples at bay. The mattifying, oil-free formulation is ideal for those with oily skin; it’s also great for those who can’t wear liquid foundation without breaking out. It’s a perfect make-up base that allows make-up to go on smoothly and last longer, and sebum-control powder keeps skin looking matte and fresh all day. Acne-prone girls and guys swear by its soothing, skin-smoothing properties; for once, here is a light moisturizing foundation that helps clear up skin instead of clogging it!

2. The Skin Extra BB Cream SPF 20 PA++ (PHP 1,195), on the other hand, is best for normal to dry skin. Formulated with Marjoram and Acti-firm Complex, this 3-in-1 moisturizer offers SPF 20 protection, corrects complexion with natural coverage, and replenishes skin with nutrients. How the 3-in-1 action works: (Protects) Powerful natural ingredient Marjoram delivers anti-bacterial and anti-oxidant benefits to calm skin troubles, while SPF 20 shields skin from harmful rays. (Nourishes) Acti-firm Complex (White Tea, Echinacea and Centella Asiatica) promotes elasticity and cell renewal while Vitamin B3 nourishes and brightens skin, plus prevents wrinkles and fine lines by improving circulation. (Corrects) This moisturizing foundation evens out redness and provides medium to full coverage—simply top it off with loose powder for a flawless look!

3. Hydro Splash BB Cream (PHP 695) is an incredibly hydrating tinted moisturizer made of 70% water that delivers “water-bursting” texture for any skin type. Soothing and moisturizing ingredients like Chamomile and Aloe, plus the anti-inflammatory Purslane, make it ideal for sensitive and combination skin. Evening Primrose delivers an anti-aging, hydrating and cell-renewing effect, while SPF 20 protects skin from daily sun exposure. Formulated with a 3D Multi-structural Emulsion System that enables 70% water retention, Hydro Splash BB Cream is perfect for those who seek a light and refreshing water-based product that provides sunscreen, skin protection and imperfection coverage in one. For best results top off with powder foundation.

4. Flebeauté Collagenic BB Cream (PHP 995) is a nourishing cream that recaptures the healthy, natural look of plump, soft skin. Saffron Extract regenerates skin cells and soothes troubled skin; Lecithin, often referred to as the reservoir of moisture, plumps and moisturizes skin; and the scattered reflective pigment blurs imperfections for a luminous, flawless look.

5. Face It Radiance Splash BB Cream SPF 20 PA++ (PHP 695) is part of the newly launched FaceIt make-up line. This BB Cream regenerates, moisturizes and calms the skin with Portulaca, which prevents inflammation and encroachment of bacteria on the skin, and Aloe Vera leaf extracts which promote the heeling of wounds.

6. Face It HD Perfect BB Cream SPF30 PA++ (PHP 995) is a high-definition BB Cream that gives off excellent coverage. It is a sheer make-up base, moisturizer, & sun block in one that covers discolorations, pores, and other imperfections under unforgiving camera lenses, while still maintaining one’s natural skin tone, through its bright and natural beige hues. Suitable for all skin types, this BB Cream also moisturizes and soothes the skin with Portulaca and Aloe Vera extracts.

7. Neo Classic Homme BB Cream SPF 20 PA++ (PHP 845) is the latest addition to the line of BB Creams of The Face Shop. Finally, men now have their own version of the wonder product with this BB Cream that protects skin from harmful UV rays while keeping oil at bay. A highly adhesive powder finish covers
impurities and prevents breakouts with a Red Energy Complex, while whitening and anti-wrinkle ingredients work with SPF for complete protection. The Citrus Aromatic Woody fragrance adds a manly touch as well.
