The summer months are fast approaching. Our heavier winter foundations have been put away for another year and swapped for something much lighter. Tinted SPF moisturisers are a lightweight option that actively protects the skin from the sun. With their light coverage, they give the skin a natural, even glow. Here’s a selection of the best tinted SPFs for all skin tones for the sunny days ahead.
Origins GinZing Energy-Boosting Tinted Moisturiser SPF 40
If achieving a flawless glow is the goal, the Origins GinZing Energy-Boosting Tinted Moisturiser SPF 40 will do just that. The coffee within the tinted moisturiser works to restore radiance to tired-out skin. This SPF skin tint will give your skin a boost in the morning by helping to increase energy flow. Your skin will not only look healthy but will be protected from the sun too. Hydrating and easy to blend, this tinted moisturiser has a natural-looking shade to give the skin a your-skin-but-better look. As the colour adapts to your skin tone, this tinted SPF is ideal for all skin tones. This product is excellent for sun protection and an immaculate complexion without needing to use anything too heavy to attain this.
Thank You Farmer Sun Project Shimmer Sun Essence SPF30
The Thank You Farmer Sun Project Shimmer Sun Essence SPF30 is the perfect combination of a BB cream and sunscreen. Brightening and hydrating, this non-greasy tinted SPF absorbs quickly into the skin. The subtle pigments within this SPF blur any imperfections while giving the skin a luminous look. It creates a physical barrier on the skin against pollutants and the ageing effects of the sun. Not only this, but it prevents dark spots from developing on the skin. Most importantly, the glow-giving Shimmer Sun Essence will protect your skin from harmful UV rays. Apply a small amount evenly across the face after your daily skincare routine.
La Roche-Posay Anthelios Shaka Ultra-Light Fluid Tinted SPF50
Perfect for heading to the gym or going to the beach, the La Roche-Posay Anthelios Shaka Ultra-Light Fluid Tinted SPF50 is sweat-proof, super waterproof, and sand-proof too. This tinted SPF absorbs well and will not leave marks or a cast across the face. For those with a lighter skin tone or skin sensitive to the sun, this high SPF is perfect for keeping the skin protected. It also gives the skin a natural summer glow with a hint of colour. The Anthelios Shaka Ultra-Light Fluid Tinted SPF50 should be applied 30 minutes before sun exposure and reapplied throughout the day.
Drunk Elephant Umbra Tinte Physical Daily Defence SPF30
Packed full of antioxidants, the Drunk Elephant Umbra Tinte Physical Daily Defence SPF 30 creates a vibrant complexion. With a barely-there feel to it, the formula is very sheer. Therefore, it is the perfect tinted SPF for darker skin tones. It will not leave your skin feeling sticky or leave behind any marks at all, as many sunscreens do. This universal skin tint gives a subtle glow to your complexion while also not aggravating acne-prone skin. As well as this, it minimises the look of fine lines and boosts the skin’s overall health. Ideal for daily use, this non-toxic, moisturising tinted SPF sits comfortably. The Umbra Tinte Physical Daily Defence will keep your skin protected from the damaging sun rays.
