S.Gone are the days when only a few products were meant in the ABCs of foundation. Thanks to the Koreans, our “beauty alphabet ” it has expanded incredibly: come on BB cream at DD cream the range of alternatives to classic make-up products to sublimate the complexion, has been considerably extended.
Those looking for a hybrid solution halfway between treatment and base, in fact, can now count on “all in one” creams that not only moisturize and protect but sublimate the complexion and complexion with a perfecting effect. But let’s go in order and let’s see the differences.
Foundation ABC, how to classify products
However, it may not always be easy to find your way around mashup of proposed letters: what are the differences between BB, CC and DD cream?
At the Alessandra Vasselli, AIDECO cosmetologist (Italian Association of Dermatology and Cosmetology) like to talk about “beauty care”. This is because it is “colored solutions and the slight ability to cover skin imperfections, which have spread thanks to their ease and speed of use ».
BB Cream, the first alternatives
The BB Cream – for example – they owe their success to the Korean boom, thanks to which they have come down to us. They are ideal for anyone looking for one light but moisturizing consistency.
“The BB cream (“Blemish – imperfection – Balm” or perhaps “Blemish Base” or “Beauty Balm“) they cover less than foundation and are rich in moisturizing and protective ingredients, also against UV radiation (generally with an average SPF), also carrying out specifically more functional actions »explains the cosmetologist.
Who are they suitable for? «Particularly suitable for less mature skins or for those who want to have a luminous, fresh and homogeneous skin, with a light texture, not completely covering but evening ».
How to use? «It is applied in the morning, on clean skin, immediately after cleansing, as if it were a normal moisturizer».
CC Cream: what it is for and for whom it is recommended
We have Miss Singapore 2009 to thank if the foundation ABC’s expanded to include the CC Cream. It was Rachel Kum, in fact, a former queen a think and design it for your cosmetics brand. From then on, the success was such as to allow its expansion all over the world, in many forms.
But what differentiates it from BB Cream? “The acronym stands for”Color Control Cream” or “Color Correcting Cream“. The CC Cream have as their main purpose the color tone: uniforming the complexion and further correcting imperfections due to skin pigmentation alterations.
They are indicated for more mature, uneven, greyish skins, dull, characterized by skin discolorations with initial photo-aging stages ».
DD Cream: what they are and how to use them
Not everyone knows about the existence of DD Cream: «The acronym in this case stands for“ Dynamic do-all Cream ”or“ Daily-Defense Cream ”, e are formulated to protect the skin from aging (chrono and induced photo), to counteract the signs of aging on the skin like a true multifunctional anti-aging agent “.
They therefore represent the evolution of BB and CC Cream: they are uniforming, smoothing and perfecting treatments, often equipped with High SPF.
The difference with a normal foundation? In all these cases it comes to products that do not require a particular application but which can also be applied with the hands, like a simple cream, without beauty blender, sponge or brushes. Making the application even more practical and fast.
