THESE ARE THE BEST TINTED MOISTURISERS WITH SPF

Remembering SPF is the most important piece of skincare advice you’ll ever receive. Whether or not the sun has got his hat on, this step is crucial for maintaining skin health and preventing premature ageing. And yet, applying this trusty product often feels like a chore. Whether it’s concerns about the dreaded pale cast, fear of breakouts or simply to put the stuff on every morning, SPF can feel more foe than friend. That’s why tinted moisturisers are the stuff of legend, combining hydration, coverage and protection in one handy bottle. We’ve collated all the best products containing SPF, with options for every skin type and goal. Keep scrolling to find your skin’s new bestie.

Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturiser Oil Free Natural Skin Perfector, £42

 

If you’re an oily skin girl, SPF probably conjures images of a slick complexion – or unwanted breakouts. It’s true that sun protection was often heavy-duty and pore-clogging, but in the words of Katy Perry, that was then and this is now. Luckily, there are plenty of oil-free tinted moisturisers that provide lightweight hydration and the UV protection your skin needs. Laura Mercier’s Oil Free Skin Perfector combines all the best of a good oily skin product, with a mattifying finish, a barely there feel and a smoothing tint that balances any imperfections for no-makeup makeup energy. The SPF 20 protection is just a bonus.

Sculpted by Aimee Hydra Tint- Moisturising Tinted Serum, £23

 

On the flip side, you might have a drier complexion that craves moisture but doesn’t want a facial slip-and-slide situation. SPFs can lean more greasy, so it’s important to find a tinted moisturiser that packs a punch of hydration without overpowering the skin. The Sculpted by Aimee Hydra Tint is just the thing – enriched with hyaluronic acid for intense hydration that still feels lightweight on the face. Centella asiatica also works to reduce water loss and restore the skin’s barrier, while the subtle colour evens out the complexion. This really is your skin but better.

e.l.f. Halo Glow Skin Tint SPF 50, £18

 

Another great thing about a tinted moisturiser? The glow. When the sun’s out, a full face of makeup isn’t exactly appealing – so a product like this is great to have in your bag. Meet the e.l.f Halo Glow Skin Tint, with a serum-like texture that’s designed to deliver a glowing finish. The SPF protection packs a major punch, too – providing a barrier against those harmful UV rays. With such a natural highlighted tint, you’ll look like you’ve been kissed by the sun without any of the unwanted side effects.

L'Oreal Paris Daily Fluid Tinted Glow SPF 50+ Bronze Glow, 50ml, £21.99

 

Finally, if there’s one thing SPF can’t do, it’s help you tan. That’s kind of the point after all. But while we can always get behind healthy skin, it does cause a slight bang of grief to accept those bronzed complexions are a thing of the past. Well, that’s where this product comes in. L’Oreal Paris has created the Daily Fluid Tinted Bronze Glow with SPF 50+, designed to even skin tone and protect skin whilst creating a natural glow. Simply spread a thin layer over your face after cleansing, and you’re rewarded with a natural looking tan that will fool even your most eagle-eyed friends into thinking you’ve just stepped off a sun lounger.
