BB Creams - what are they and do you need one?

BB Creams - also known as blemish balms or beauty balms originated in Asia, but in the last year or two have made their way over stateside.  These multi-functioning creams combine moisturizer, foundation and sunscreen into one easy to use product.  Jane Iredale just introduced an amazing new BB cream that contains anti-aging ingredients, SPF 25 and comes in 6 shades.  If you are looking for an easy to use all in one cream, or if you feel like foundation and sunscreen are too many layers, then a BB cream might just be the perfect solution for you.  Stop by the spa and we'll help you find your perfect shade!
