Skin Food Sun Aloe BB Cream

I have been meaning to write this review but I have been pretty busy. I've been using Skin Food BB Cream for awhile now alternating it with my Tony Moly and Danahan BB Cream (which I will be reviewing soon as well so stay tuned) and I love how it makes my skin look a lot better but doesn't make me feel like I have too much makeup on my face. Asian BB cream are being compared to Western BB Creams which I heard are only like tinted moisturizers, but it's nothing like it. In some way they are the same because they have skin care properties, but BB creams provide light to medium coverage that tinted moisturizers don't provide. 

This is a sample pack that is being sold in eBay from P15 - 25 a piece depending on who you buy it from. Some offer it cheaper and some a little higher priced. Each packet I think has 1ml of bb cream or less and I can use it 3 times, so this is a cheaper option if you are testing out which bb cream works best for you and which shade to match your skin tone. This BB cream is in #1 and has SPF 20. They come in 3 shades I believe from 1 - 3, and 1 being the lightest. This is also water based so it's good for oily skin as well.

Always make sure to moisturize your face before applying this bb cream because since this is water based, it's going to be a little difficult to blend on unmoisturized face, and it gets absorbed by the skin faster making you use a more product, which will eventually cake. It gives light coverage but you can slowly build it up for a medium coverage. It also has a nice aloe scent but may put you off if you're not into scented face product. This bb cream is really moisturizing and makes my skin look fresh and glowy. I have oily skin and I have to blot my face after 3 hours if I am outdoors which is understandable because it's extremely hot in our country. But if I am in a mall, I don't have to blot my face at all. I never broke out using this bb cream.



Skin Food Sun Aloe BB Cream Swatch


Of all the 7 bb cream brands I have tried, this is by far my favorite because it doesn't give my face a grey cast. The first time I used it I thought that #1 is a little too light for my skin tone but after it oxidizes, it adapts to my skin tone in only about 3 minutes and I really like it. The photo above is taken right after I applied it and yet it doesn't look too weird on my face. I used this on my Birthday Makeup without the setting powder on top of it. I forgot to take a photo after it oxidized which I should have because I was a kind of in a hurry to finish my makeup, sorry :( :). Just refer to the swatches above.

My verdict is definitely 5 STARS!!! I recommend this to everyone who wants to try bb cream. However, I suggest you get the sample size first because what works for me may not work on your skin. 

So there you have it everyone, my review of the Skin Food Sun Aloe BB Cream #1. I hope you find this post helpful. If you have tried this bb cream, let me know what you think about it. Good night/good day everyone! Take care and I'll talk to you all later. Bye! *wave* :)

  2. Oooh, awesome post! Thanks so much for sharing! That idea of buying sample sizes is a really good idea. Had never thought of it before :) I've never used BB cream so that'd be perfect for me.

  3. I've never tried this BB cream because it annoys me that Skin Food products are so expensive here in the Philippnes. That's why I just steer clear from them completely!

    I might check out eBay for these though. Thanks for the tips and a great review as always! :)
