THESE ARE THE BEST TINTED MOISTURISERS WITH SPF

One of the most important pieces of skincare advice you'll ever receive is to wear SPF every single day. Whether or not the sun has got his hat on, this step is crucial for maintaining skin health. And yet, applying this trusty product often feels like a chore. Whether it’s concerns about the dreaded white cast, breakouts or simply remembering 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 best friend.

NYX Professional Makeup Buttermelt Glaze Skin Tint SPF 30, £13.99

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 oily skin-friendly tinted moisturisers that provide lightweight hydration and the UV protection your skin needs. NYX PMU’s Buttermelt Glaze Skin Tint combines a weightless formula with blemish-busting niacinamide and shea butter for a product that effortlessly melts into the skin. Its finish is dewy, not greasy, perfect for topping off with a peachy liquid blush for an easy summer beat. The SPF 30 protection is just a bonus.

Sculpted by Aimee Hydra Tint- Moisturising Tinted Serum, £24

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.

Lumene CC Color Correcting Cream SPF20, £14.90

Lumene’s CC Color Correcting Cream is medium coverage, perfect for masking redness and hyperpigmentation. Plus, the addition of SPF20 will prevent sun damage, which can lead to unevenness in the skin. Simply spread a thin layer over your face, blend it out with your fingertips, and you’re rewarded with natural, fresh-looking skin. It’s perfect for all skin types, too – so there’s no excuse not to keep it on hand all summer.

Erborian CC Cream - Colour Correcting Cream SPF 30 40ml, £38

On the topic of CC Creams, we’ve got another all-time favourite: the Erborian CC Cream. This award-winning skin tint contains kind-to-skin ingredients including honey and vitamin E for some TLC, and has a light coverage to enhance your natural complexion. It’s the result of careful innovation – the formula contains encapsulated pigments that change colour on contact with the skin, which then helps to even out your skin tone. And with SPF30, you’re safe to wear it for all your outside activities.
