WHAT´S THE MEANING OF BB CREAM?
“BB” predominantly means “Blemish Balm” or “Blemish Base” and combines the characteristics of nurturing cosmetics and a light foundation. As a result it helps to get a more even complexion with less visible impurities.
WHO SHOULD USE IT?
The BB Cream is best when your skin is almost sheer and you need something to conceal slight impurities. Especially for women in their mid or late twenties, a BB Cream is a good alternative to heavy foundations. Tip: Those who tend to have dry skin, should use an additional moisturizer.
WHAT´S THE MEANING OF CC CREAM?
CC Cream stands for “Color Corrective” and is quite similar to a BB Cream in it´s ingrediens. In the long term it also prevents from deeper skin irritations and helps to balance differences in colour.
WHO SHOULD USE IT?
A CC Cream should be used by those who tend to have a very impure facial skin (in case you suffer from skin redness or Pigment spots). It can be used both as base or compensational for your foundation and is a great choice for younger girls who feel the need to cover spots without risking clogged pores.
WHAT´S THE MEANING OF DD CREAM?
The abbreviation DD primarily stands for “Dynamic-do-it-all” and serves as a perfect composite between BB and CC Creams. Additionally it includes anti-ageing agents.
WHO SHOULD USE IT?
This product can primarily be recommended to older women who deal with the first signs of skin ageing and need to cover them. In daily use a DD Cream can prevent from wrinkles and serves as a great substitute for a foundation.
For all those who suffer from disturbing skin irritations and prefer to not spent so much time in the bathroom every morning, a respective cream is a good choice.
Though the disadvantage of a BB, CC or DD Cream is definitely the limited range of colour shades. Most of the products only differentiate between light, medium and dark. Whereas a foundation is far more flexible.
Conclusion: A slightly toned cream is very convenient for a quick and fresh everyday look. Those who prefer to cover a bit more, should rely on an individual foundation.
