BB cream 

BB cream is abbreviated to blemish balm or beauty balm. It originated in Germany but gained popularity in Korea and South Asian countries for its coverage and beauty. A BB cream provides light coverage and other benefits like sun protection, hydration, etc. It evens out skin, covering light blemishes and spots and giving a radiant and natural-looking finish for everyday use.

• Hydration: BB cream is made to help moisturize your skin all day, keeping it soft and supple.
• Skin-friendly active ingredients: BB cream brands offer skin-friendly ingredients like hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, antioxidants, vitamins, etc, for nourishing and glowing skin.
• Natural finish: BB cream, along with its natural skin-benefiting ingredients, is made to give you a natural glowing finish that does not make your skin cakey. 
• Reduce skincare steps in 1: BB cream has the benefits of a moisturizer and active ingredients that improve skin texture and SPF. You need to apply your BB cream, and you'll be good to go.

• For those with oily skin, using a compact over BB cream will give you a skin mat finish. 

CC Cream 

After applying BB cream, you might find your skin needs some extra coverage to get flawless skin, then you must think of a CC Cream. CC means color-correcting cream or is generally called complexion-correcting cream. A cc cream is designed to adjust to uneven texture on skin or issues like redness, hyperpigmentation, and dull, dry skin. CC cream helps to give you light ( sheer) to medium coverage to overcome these skin concerns 

Benefits

Though some of the benefits of cc cream overlap with BB cream, CC cream is infused with some skin color correcting agents, antioxidants, and ingredients that will even out the skin complexion and provide more coverage than a bb cream.

 

• Color correction: CC cream is made with ingredients that cover redness, hyperpigmentation, blemishes, freckles, etc., and gives you more coverage with a lightweight non-cakey finish.
• Sun protection: most of the CC creams are infused with SPF, which provides you with sun protection that you need to protect from aging and dullness.
• Moisturization: CC cream has moisturizing properties, which you can directly use as a base without the application of any extra, which not only reduces your skincare steps but also helps keep your skin glowing. 
• Coverage: CC cream provides light to medium coverage, suitable for everyday use and color correction.

 

Texture: CC cream has a moisturizing lightweight texture which is suitable for everyday use.

 

How to choose the suitable cc cream: To select the correct cc cream for you, firstly, you need to look at your skin type, whether it is dry, oily, sensitive, etc. Choose brands that suit your skin type. 

Next, you need to look for the right shade of cc cream that can help you color, correct your skin and give it an even tone and flawless finish.

 

For coverage, you need to look for your skin concerns. More hyperpigmentation and dullness will require medium to full coverage cream, whereas less severe problems will need a light to medium coverage cc cream.
