As the weather warms up a thick foundation can put you in very dangerous territory: face melting territory. Switching to a more light-weight option like a BB cream will help with aforementioned melting. In case you're wondering, 'BB' stands for 'blemish balm' and is typically seen as an all-in-one product although I wouldn't recommend skipping your other skincare steps.
Seeing as it's the end of the month, here's nine BB creams that'll update your make-up routine without bankrupting you.
1. Tea Tree Flawless BB Cream, £8.50, The Body Shop
This gives good coverage as well as helping to deal with any blemishes thanks to the tea tree in it.
2. Dream Fresh BB Cream, £7.99, Maybelline
Quite sheer but great for helping to even out skintone.
3. BB Cream SPF 20, £7.50, e.l.f. Studio
Lightweight + good coverage = excellent choice. It even has a pump.
4. BB Cream Radiance, £6.99, Rimmel London
The one for when you're really showing your hangover.
5. Luminous Goddess Aura BB Cream, £14.50, Tony Moly
This is the exception to the £9 rule because it's so great. This is a Korean BB cream and it's basically my holy grail: amazing coverage (don't go too heavy with it) and a glowy finish.
6. BB Cream Anti-Ageing, £6.99, Superdrug
This promises anti-ageing, hydration, radiance and loads of others. Plus, it's one of the cheapest options.
7. PRO.bb cream HD High Definition Beauty Balm, £5, L.A. Girl
An absolute bargain with a good colour range.
8. Solutions BB Gentle Beauty Balm, £6, Avon
If you're on the oily side, there's also a matte version of this.
9. BB Cream, £7.99, GOSH
A better colour range compared to a lot of the rest and it adapts to your skin tone.
