It\u2019s funny how the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mariefranceasia.com\/beauty\/beauty-buys\/total-coverage-10-bb-creams-must-94061.html\">BB (beauty balm) creams<\/a> have gone almost unnoticed after the launches of the newer CC (colour correction) creams. And, let\u2019s just leave the new DD (daily defence) creams for another day.<\/p> <p>First of all, if you\u2019re looking for a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mariefranceasia.com\/beauty\/beauty-buys\/skincare\/eau-thermale-jonzac-kickstart-brand-new-skincare-journey-rejuvenating-products-146515.html\">skincare product<\/a> that colour corrects, primes, offers some protection against the sun, aids in stopping wrinkles - then the C-alphabet cream\u2019s the right one for you.<\/p> <p>So to begin using, here are 5 things you need to know about CC creams:<\/p> <ol> <li>Ensure that the shade matches your skin tone: Choose one with more shades so that it can be easily blended, and for a natural looking coverage.<\/li> <li>Check the SPF value: We recommend using at least SPF 30 for a full day long-lasting coverage.<\/li> <li>Don\u2019t depend on it entirely for complete coverage: Generous application of the CC cream may not be enough to protect your face from the harmful sunrays. Add on light sun-block.<\/li> <li>Don\u2019t replace your daily moisturiser with it: Testers have discovered that the creams don\u2019t hydrate as much.<\/li> <li>Apply it in the morning after your face wash and toner: Use it like your usual <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mariefranceasia.com\/beauty\/whats-new\/ysl-x-google-glass-making-makeup-application-easier-41826.html\">moisturiser application<\/a>. Squeeze out a drop or two and apply it directly with your ring fingers - lightest pressure on your eye areas.<\/li> <\/ol> <p>We've also rounded up our top picks in the gallery above!<\/p> <p><em>Sharon Salim<\/em><\/p> ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Now's the perfect time to use your CC cream -
