The BB glow is a microneedling procedure that involves inserting semi-permanent BB cream into the skin. This Korean beauty trend lasts from 6 to 12 months and is meant to make the skin look like it does when you’ve applied the perfect BB cream with your Beauty Blender. Eliminating redness, hyperpigmentation, minor defects and flaws, the end result is the best no makeup makeup look you’ve ever whipped up and according to the experts, it only takes two treatments to get the desired results.

If you’re familiar with microneedling then know that this semi-permanent treatment is very similar. BB glow involves puncturing the skin with very small needles, which are filled with makeup. The makeup is usually a blend of 2-3 BB creams the technician has mixed together to create a custom color for every client. It is like getting a pigment tattoo but this time it covers your entire face. This form of treatment is actually great for the skin since it boosts the skin’s production of collagen and elastin. The procedure takes approximately 3 hours, including an hour of numbing and as mentioned above, two treatments are usually all you need.
