The difference between BB cream and CC cream

The difference between BB cream and CC cream lies in the degree of concealing, modification, and resistance to skin sensitivity. BB cream contains a small amount of foundation ingredients and has the ability to conceal blemishes. It also has the functions of whitening, improving dull and uneven skin. CC cream focuses on skin care and maintenance, has weaker concealing ability and modification, and is suitable for long-term use.

The difference between BB cream and CC cream lies in the degree of concealing. BB cream contains a small amount of foundation ingredients, so it has the ability to conceal blemishes. After use, it can make the skin tone more even, delicate and lustrous. CC cream pays more attention to skin care and care, and its concealing ability is weaker.

BB cream has a better whitening effect, improves dull and uneven skin problems, and plays a role in facial modification. CC cream cannot play a good modifying role when applied to the face, but CC cream has added effective skin care ingredients, can be rubbed out on the skin to form water droplets, and has strong moisturizing ability.

BB cream's main functions are to conceal blemishes, protect, isolate and whiten. Applying BB cream when going out can protect against UV rays, but it is not suitable for long-term use. CC cream tends to be used for daily repair and maintenance, suitable for long-term use, and can essentially adjust and improve the skin.

Does BB cream have a barrier effect?

People who often wear makeup may know that BB cream is usually applied after primer. As for why it is applied this way, everyone may only know that primer has a primer effect. So some people ask, does BB cream have a primer effect? ​​Can BB cream be used as a primer?

BB cream has a certain isolation effect. It should be said that the isolation effect of BB cream is still very good. First of all, we apply BB cream after applying the isolation cream, and then apply other things. BB cream can play a role of isolation in the middle. However, this isolation effect is not necessarily necessary. It is just because BB cream itself is a base makeup concealer product. It has a good makeup setting effect when applied on the skin, so it naturally has a certain isolation effect.

Although BB cream has a barrier effect, it should never be used as a barrier cream. First of all, we should know that barrier cream is a product that only has a barrier effect and has no other functions. Therefore, the texture of the barrier cream is relatively clear, the ingredients are relatively simple, and the damage to the skin is also very small. BB cream itself has many functions. Applying it directly on the skin will not only cause certain damage to the skin, but also may clog the pores.

The function of BB cream is not to isolate, but to cover blemishes in base makeup, so it is also a very commonly used product in base makeup. The concealing effect of BB cream is also reflected in various aspects, such as covering pores, spots, acne marks, etc. These effects are also the effects that a base makeup needs to achieve. We can choose different BB creams according to our needs.

Do I need to use sunscreen when using air cushion BB cream?

It is not necessary.

Whether to use sunscreen after using air cushion BB cream depends on your personal living environment and the sun protection factor of the air cushion BB cream. Most air cushion BB creams have SPF20-30, which is enough for daily travel. However, if you are working outdoors, or going to the beach for vacation, or to places with strong ultraviolet rays, you should use sunscreen separately.
