Something strange has happened in base makeup this spring! The vast array of excellent CC creams has evolved to the point of being overwhelming. However, many people are probably wondering, "What exactly is CC cream?" and "How is it different from BB cream or control color?" So let me explain. BB cream originated as an acronym for "Blemish Balm," which means blemish-covering ointment. Originally, it was a specialized product used after minor cosmetic procedures like peeling, with the hope of concealing redness and healing the skin. It became a huge hit in Korea, and after its introduction to Japan, it has evolved into a time-saving makeup tool that simultaneously covers everyday skin imperfections and serves as a simple foundation. CC cream, on the other hand, was developed not with the idea of "concealing," but with a positive concept: "to brighten and beautify the skin while caring for it during the day." While the meaning of CC varies by brand, it basically stands for "Complete Correction." While the primary purpose is to cover imperfections, creams with a subtle pink hue create a more natural and radiant look, lending a healthy, flushed complexion. Furthermore, the ultra-thin film blends seamlessly with the skin, creating a translucent effect that elevates the impression of someone with beautiful, natural skin. Unlike color control creams that simply eliminate dullness, CC creams offer maximum skin protection, primarily UV protection, while also proactively addressing skin aging. CC creams now offer increased UV protection factors (SPF and PA) to the same level as dedicated UV primers, while also protecting against various environmental irritants like pollutants. They also incorporate skincare benefits like moisture retention and antioxidant protection, making skin look not only more beautiful than bare skin, but also more comfortable than bare skin. You can feel the difference through your skin. This spring's evolved CC creams offer a multifunctional, all-out midday skincare routine.
