All About CC Creams

A CC cream, short for color correcting cream, is very similar to a BB cream, except they usually offer more coverage and treat dark spots on the face.  If you wish to try them, here are my recommendations. If you missed my post about BB Creams, go read it. My favorite is the Revlon CC Cream.

Here is a chart that explains BB and CC Creams and their differences.

Face Masks

Best Facial Masks: If you have dry skin, look for a mask that hydrates and repairs skin. If you have oily skin, look for a mask that absorbs oil. If you prefer, you can make your own at home. Remember to give your face a good cleaning before you apply a mask.

All About BB Creams

A BB Cream, short for blemish balm, is an all-in-one product containing moisturizer, sunscreen, concealer, foundation and primer.  If your skin is free from acne or dark spots, then this may be the product for you. They are usually very sheer, providing light to medium coverage. My favorite one is the Too Faced Tinted Beauty Balm, and while hailed as an all-in-one product I still use a moisturizer, sunscreen, and a concealer.

The Best Toners

Toners:

When choosing a toner, look for one that does not contain fragrance, as it can do more damage to your skin. Toners should be applied after cleansing your skin, as it can remove any leftover makeup still left on the skin. Toners also help clear away dead skin cells and pockets of oil. My favorite is the DHC Toner. It is a bit expensive, but it lasts a long time. Tell me your favorite toner if you have one. Unfortunately, I haven't tested a good formula from the drugstore that didn't break my skin out.

My Favorite Toners:

1. Mary Kay Botanical Effects Freshen  Formula $14.00/5 Fl. Oz

2. DHC CoEnzyme Q10 Lotion $37.00/5.4 Fl. Oz

3. derma e Soothing Toner $15.50/5 Fl. Oz.

4. MAC Lightful C Marine Bright Formula $35.00/5 Fl. Oz

5. Algenist Hydrating Essence Toner $25.00/5 Oz.

6. Merle Norman Brilliant C Toner $22.00/6 Fl. Oz.
