Not all foundations are made equally, and some can be very drying and unflattering for those with aging skin. If you’ve been having trouble finding a good foundation for your skin, then it might be time to try a CC cream instead.
CC creams are “color corrective” products that help brighten up your skin and address issues like redness or sallow coloring. Though they serve to even the complexion, CC creams are better for aging skin because of their lightweight and hydrating formulas. Plus, they’re also ideal for common anti-aging skincare concerns like dark under-eye areas, redness or hyperpigmentation. “CC cream is corrective and excellent for evening the skin tone, neutralizing redness or concealing post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation,” makeup artist and skin care professional Kayla Calloway tells Dermstore.
