“The A,B, C’s of the New Makeup Craze AA, BB, CC, DD? What are we to make of this latest craze or marketing brainchild? AA Cream is nothing more than your expensive Anti-Aging cream that may or may not work. BB Cream started out life in a plastic surgeon’s office in Germany where it was called Blemish Balm. She wanted something for her patients that offered skin care benefits, sun protection and lots of coverage after procedures. Once Korean celebrities got ahold of it and made it popular in Asia, it became known as Beauty Balm and the rest is history. What’s the difference between this and a tinted moisturizer with SPF? It has a lot more coverage and usually higher sunscreen protection . Jane Iredale BB Cream, Glow Time, has really potent skin care benefits in liposome form so they can be delivered deep into the skin, an SPF 25 and UVA Medium, and coverage you have to see to believe. A pea-size amount will act as an under-eye concealer and do your entire face and neck. It’s a multi-tasking wonder! CC Cream - Color Corrector. There are other versions of this that say the same thing, like Corrective Color. There are also other descriptions of what it does depending on who you read. But the consensus seems to be that it’s more mousse-like than BB Creams with lighter coverage; it contains skin care benefits and sun protection of course, but it also has the ability to brighten and color-correct the skin. Jane brought out a CC Cream about eight years ago when she launched Dream Tint. It has everything a CC Cream needs including three color-correcting colors in Peach (evens pigmentation), Lilac (brightens sallow skin) and Warm Bronze (enlivens pasty skin). The next time Jane makes more tubes, you might see a CC on them. DD Cream - Daily Defense. This is a heavy-duty body cream for traditionally dry and stubborn areas like elbows, heels and knees. It’s not a makeup.” -Jane Iredale
