The Hottest Trends in Skin Care Right NowFrom CC creams to in-office procedures, find out everything you need to know about the seven biggest skin care trends for 2013 |
CC Creams After BB came CC -- color correcting -- creams. Like BBs, this trend originated in Asia, and it has been picking up momentum in the U.S. over the last few months. Some brands that didn't develop BB creams are jumping right into CC creams instead. While they're similar, CCs often provide slightly less coverage with more brightening benefits. "CC creams are brightening skin care with color," says Nicolette. "Women in Asia expect their products to do a lot -- so these have to deliver long-term benefits as well as immediate results."
Try: Amore Pacific Color Control Cushion Compact SPF 50, $60, is a CC in a compact. It feels really light on the skin, but it's buildable. Peter Thomas Roth CC Cream Broad Spectrum SPF 30, $48, contains vitamin C and mineral-based SPF for a lot of protection.

I use products with exotic oils on my hair and my face and i love how moisturizing they are! They are very popular ingredients of the organic products!

I have never tried a sleeping mask, i move around a lot when I sleep so I'm afraid it'll all end up smeared on my pillow during the night!! But I'm really looking forward to trying the YesToGrapefruit dark spot correcting cream, sounds great. Thanks again totalbeauty!

This info is very helpful. I quit using the Garnier BB because of that - too oily. I'm currently using the Dr. Jart w/sunscreen bb cream. It has primer, spf, and works on detoxifying the skin. it's pricey, but a little goes a long way and Sephora carries a small size (cheaper) so that helps. I tried the Cover Girl CC cream, and didn't really care for it. My skin didn't take too well to that one. I'll look into the self tanner, since I have so many freckles, that may be a good way of getting a more even skin tone.

All of these beauty products sound great, especially the self-tanners and the oil-free BB creams. I stay out of the sun, so I\'m always looking for good self-tanner. The BB cream I\'m currently using makes my skin feel greasy, so hopefully, the oil-free versions will work better, especially for the summertime!

eager to try the BBs targeting combo/oily skin - i'm definitely one who felt the t-zone shine using a BB :(

Very impressed with info and that there's a choice between high-end (and costly) product and something more affordable. And NEW !! Always love new scientific (it is, isn't it? right) info to help. Thanxx.

I'm looking forward to trying the new self tanners. I haven't use one in over 20 years!
