If you have acne-prone skin like me, wearing foundation can raise a bevy of questions. Will it break me out? Will it make my skin look greasy? Beauty balms, aka BB creams, are often a better option being more lightweight and usually oil-free. The best part about BB creams is that they’re formulated to prime, moisturize, protect and perfect skin, thus lightening up your everyday coverage load. Here are some of my favorites that offer natural-looking coverage, without clogging pores and causing breakouts.
Clinique Acne Solutions BB Cream Broad Spectrum SPF 40 ($38)
Estée Lauder Clear Difference Complexion Perfecting BB Creme SPF 35 ($40)
Bobbi Brown BB Cream SPF 35 ($46)
La Roche-Posay Effaclar BB Blur Instant Oil-Absorbing Coverage BB Cream ($29.99)
Smashbox Camera Ready BB Cream SPF 35 ($39)
Maybelline Dream Pure BB Cream Skin Clearing Perfector ($8.99)
I love Laura Mercier oil-free tinted moisturizer! It goes on super smooth and never gets shiny- have you tried it?
