If you don't already know BB (Blemish Balm) Creams have been on the market for a couple of years now and are designed to hide blemishes while also providing nutrients or "good stuff" for your skin, e.g. moisture, SPF. They have a pigment and many people wear them daily as a substitute to their foundation, especially during the summer months as they tend to be lighter in consistency. But this product from The Body Shop is all of the above, and more!It's a BB cream, which hides blemishes or spots, provides coverage on your skin and also contains Tea Tree-something that is well known for treating spots (it's an active ingredient in many spot treatments).

So not only can you use this daily, in place of your foundation for coverage, you can be rested that it's going to fight against your spots! The Body Shop says you'll be left with "instantly spotless-looking skin with natural-looking shine-free coverage." This comes in 3 shades and as you can see from the images, shade 01 and 03 are quite extreme but I think a mixture of 01 and/or 02 will suit most Irish skin-tones. So I recommend going into your nearest Body Shop (check on their website to find your nearest store) and testing the 3 shades on your jawline to see which shade suits you best!

I think the consistencies of these BB creams are great! They are nice and light, ideal for daily wear especially during the warmer months! I wouldn't be too fond of the smell of them though. They do have quite a Tea-Tree scent (as you would expect) but it's not a scent I like too much, that's my only critique. But I would recommend checking them out next time you're shopping and see what you think. I'd imagine the scent would wear away after you apply it, and I'm sure it's worth it if your blemishes or spots are reduced!
