I’m someone who doesn’t really wear foundation on a daily basis but every now and then I like to even out my skin tone by simply wearing a touch of tinted moisturiser. That said, it doesn’t mean that I forget to protect my face. Living in Cyprus where the sun is out at least 340 days a year, SPF is a definite must so today we are going to look at the 2 in 1 idea! Tinted SPF!’s
Liquid, cream or compact powder depending on your preference, these tinted SPF’s come in a wide range of textures. They also have different coverage options, ranging from sheer, medium, to full-coverage options. What I love about them is that they are lightweight and usually do an excellent job at evening out skin tone. The other great thing is that their protection spectrum ranges from SPF 15 all the way up to broad-spectrum SPF 50. So whether you’re looking for an excellent all-in-one product or just want to double up on your SPF, tinted sunscreens are the key. Their only hitch is the lack of a wide color range currently available and as a result most products are best for light-to-medium skin tones only. However, many brands are aware of this and every year we see them broadening their range. So thumbs up for that! Now, check out our 5 picks that protect, correct, blur, and more.
