Fret not; we make your life easier by giving you tips on how to choose the right one for you.
BB Creams
What: BB stands for beauty balm and gives better coverage then tinted moisturisers. They essentially smoothen the skin, moisturise, protect against sun damage and give the skin a fresh, dewy look. Some of the creams also have anti-ageing properties.
Perfect For: Ladies who are blessed with beautiful skin and looking to just even out your skin. BB creams provide the least amount of coverage so they are apt for younger woman whose skin needs a little pick-me-up. A thin layer is all you need to flaunt a fresh, bare-faced look.
CC Creams
What: CC creams stands for colour correcting creams and contain skin-brightening primer, moisturiser, sunscreen, anti-aging ingredients, and sometimes collagen boosters as well. Their main goal is to address skin discoloration issues, and they are generally lighter than BB creams.
Perfect For: If you have redness, dark spots, acne scars etc, then, these creams are for you. You can use these with a little bit of concealer to hide blemishes effectively.
