In a world full of complexion products, descriptions and pretty packaging… it can be hard to pick what’s right for you based on what your skin needs. Let’s go back and start with the basics.
What is a BB Cream?
BB Cream stands for Beauty Balm or Blemish Balm, and was created in Korea. While it provides a bit of coverage, it is mostly formulated to be makeup infused skincare. BB Creams are comparable to tinted moisturizers, only they are packed with good for you ingredients plus a light coverage.
What is a CC Cream?
CC Cream stands for Color Correcting or Complexion Correcting, meaning it neutralizes all the discoloration you have in your complexion to even everything out. Typically, a CC Cream will have more coverage than a BB Cream. Of course much like the BB Cream, the CC Cream can have skincare benefits as well. It just all depends on the one that you choose.
How Do I Choose Which One Is For Me?
When determining whether you are more of a BB Cream or CC Cream type of person, there really is not a right or wrong answer. It all boils down to preference. Are you looking for something with light coverage to give a healthy glow or do you need something with more coverage to cover any imperfections? It just depends on your concerns and what you’re in need of at the time.
