BB Cream vs Tinted Moisturizer
So, what's the difference between BB creams and tinted moisturizers anyway? And how do you know which one is right for you? The answer depends on what you're using them for!
What's The Difference?
BB Creams are a one-stop-shop with a little bit of everything all mixed in. They usually contain SPF, anti-aging ingredients, primer, and also act as a foundation with light to medium coverage ☀️. BB creams are perfect for the days you still want a full makeup look but might not have the time to do your entire routine.
Tinted moisturizers on the other hand, are mainly focused on hydration with the addition of minimal coverage and sometimes SPF. They are great for light coverage and can be worn on their own or under your foundation, while BB creams usually stand alone.
When To Use Tinted Moisturizer :
We love tinted moisturizers because not only are they lightweight and ultra-hydrating, they also give you radiant sheer coverage. Tinted moisturizers are perfect for days you don't want to wear a full face of makeup but still want to put your best face forward!

Are You Applying Skincare Products Correctly?
You Have the Right Products...Now Learn How to Apply Them
Once you've stocked your cabinets full of our great beyond complexion products, the next step is to make sure you are applying them correctly so you get maximum results!
One of our most loved products is our Mandelic Acid 5+ Retexturizing Pads. They minimize the appearance of pores while exfoliating and brightening skin, plus they help tackle a range of skin woes, from acne to hyperpigmentation to aging. They are easy to use, but we do suggest a specific way to apply them...
How to Apply our Re-texturizing Pads
Step 1: Wipe the pad across your forehead with moderate pressure (not too much at first!).
Step 2: From the forehead, move to the cheek, down to the jawline, and then wipe pad upward to cheek.
Step 3: Repeat on the other side of your face.
Step 4: Apply to nose and chin being careful around the corners of the mouth and nose, where skin is more sensitive.
Things to Note: To start, use every other day in the evening after washing your face. As skin begins to adjust to the product, increase to 2 times a day.
If you are battling active acne lesions or impactions, first apply ice to inflamed skin and then proceed with pads.
Make sure to use a moisturizer that includes SPF, like our Daily Facial Moisturizer SPF 30 or our Vitamin C+ Sheer Defense SPF 30 as skin will be sensitive to the sun after exfoliating.
