BB Cream with SPF - What’s the Difference ?
If you’re using a BB cream with SPF, do you still need sunscreen? It’s a common question we get at Wotnot Naturals, and the answer might surprise you. Here’s why — and how to make the most of both.
What is BB Cream with SPF?
BB stands for “beauty balm” — a multi-tasking product that combines:
-
Light coverage for a natural, even complexion
-
Moisturiser to hydrate the skin
-
SPF for sun protection
At Wotnot Naturals, our BB+ Cream takes it a step further with:
-
Mineral zinc SPF 40 for high-level protection
-
Brightening & anti-ageing ingredients like green tea extract and jojoba oil
-
6 benefits in 1 tube (hydration, primer, SPF, coverage, brightening, anti-ageing)
It’s your low-maintenance secret to healthy-looking skin.
BB Cream with SPF is a game-changer for busy mornings and everyday wear — but for all-day sun safety, your sunscreen is still essential. At Wotnot Naturals, we make it easy to protect your skin with clean, mineral-based formulas you can trust.
So, How is Sunscreen Different?
Sunscreen is designed to give dedicated, long-lasting UV protection. It’s often applied more generously than makeup and is reapplied throughout the day — especially when you’re outdoors, sweating, or swimming.
In short:
-
BB Cream with SPF = Great for daily incidental sun exposure (school runs, commuting, office days).
-
Sunscreen = Essential for prolonged outdoor exposure (beach days, hiking, sports).
Do You Need Both?
Yes. Think of your BB Cream with SPF as your everyday skin shield — perfect for your AM routine, light coverage, and incidental sun protection. But when you’re spending hours outdoors, you’ll still want to apply a dedicated sunscreen on top (and reapply as needed).
