While the beauty industry is speeding through alphabet
creams quicker than a toddler singing their ABC’s, even beauty junkies need to
pause and absorb all these new complexion perfection products. Before we dive
in to DD creams, let’s recap our ABC’s of moisturizers.
Before beauty balms, we lived off tinted moisturizers and
foundations. For those who don’t like the heavy consistency of foundations,
tinted moisturizers offered a much lighter version. While they didn’t really do
much in terms of coverage, they were a great alternative when it came to
evening out skin tone and sun protection.
Then the miraculous BB cream arrived. Commonly known as a
tinted moisturizer on steroids, beauty balms promised more coverage while
leaving a luminous finish. This is ideal for those who don’t like to wear
makeup or stick to a simple routine.
After many had jumped on the BB cream bandwagon, out popped
what beauty experts called the next best thing—CC creams. Known as the “color
correcting” cream, the next tube sensation offers a lighter version of BB
creams while covering dark spots, acne or dull skin. CC creams are a lifesaver
for those with acne prone skin or those who have an uneven skin tone.
Just when we thought alphabet creams had reached their
prime, the unthinkable happened—one beauty brand decided to take it one step
further with the DD cream. Julep developed the first DD cream, which stand for
“dynamic do-all,” a hybrid of the BB and CC cream but pushes it further with
ingredients that will prime and protect instantly and over time. While we
haven’t tried this new DD cream, we’re certainly curious to see if it lives up to its hype.
