BB Cream vs CC Cream: What’s The Difference?
BB cream stands for “beauty balm” and is a cross between foundation and tinted moisturiser. Containing ingredients such as niacinamide, BB creams enhance your skin over time while offering sheer coverage. CC cream stands for “colour correct” and helps to disguise redness and dark spots. It can be worn on its own or layered under foundation for a full coverage look. Read on for the BB creams and CC creams we’d recommend.The Best BB Creams and CC Creams to Buy in 2024
