The difference between BB and CC Cream
Posted by NADEJDA ALIOHINA
BB cream, translated from English, Blemish Balm Cream means "cream for skin imperfections".
CC cream - Color correction Cream or Complete Correction Cream - color correction or a means of complete correction, "ideal" correction.
The main properties of the BB cream:
- masking skin imperfections (acne, post-acne, redness, enlarged pores, age spots, scars, etc.)
- smoothing of skin tone
- smoothing the skin texture
- hydration
- protection against ultraviolet radiation
- care properties.
CC cream has about the same characteristics, but it is a more "advanced" tool and has more advantages. If the ratio of camouflage and care properties for BB cream is 50/50, then for CC cream 30/70, i.e. the emphasis in the CC cream is more on the care properties.
The advantage of CC cream over BB is that it can be applied to the area around the eyes ie. it can be used as a concealer to mask, for example, dark circles under the eyes. CC cream is a care agent, tinting agent as well as disconnector and corrector in one bottle, it is a multi-functional agent than BB cream.
It is suggested that the CC cream can completely replace the day care. It contains several caring components, moisturizes, has a rejuvenating effect, brightens the skin, protects, nourishes and vitamins.
An important difference between BB and CC creams compared to other toning and skin care products for the face is that they have a high level of SPF protection against the sun's rays and are broad-spectrum (protection against type A and B rays). The SPF factor of these agents is from 30 to 50 or more. This allows you to protect the skin from the negative effects of ultraviolet rays, to prevent photoaging of the skin, as well as the appearance of age spots. At the same time in the summer, you can no longer use additional sunscreens.
