Your foolproof one-way ticket to healthy, radiant skin
Sure, we’d all love skin smooth and even enough to go sans make-up. However, the reality is our skin, more often than not, needs a little help. Something to mask a little redness, hide a few blemishes or give skin a glowy perk up. Something that’s not going to make us look perfect, but will emphasise our best bits and boost our confidence. That’s where the best tinted moisturiser can really help.
It doesn’t matter if you have found the best foundation, sometimes a lighter textured tinted moisturiser is all you want to wear. In a market saturated in more alphabetised skin care/make-up hybrids than you can shake a stick at, each with a different USP, it’s refreshing to revert back to a simple product that evens out our skin tone, moisturises and, in some cases includes an SPF. Enter, the best tinted moisturiser.
Almost every brand offers their take on a tinted moisturiser, and, while they’re not all-singing-all-dancing like some of the best BB creams or the best CC cream, they are invaluable. Besides, if your skin is in pretty good nick then it’s unlikely that it will benefit much from anything too complicated; after all, your skin is functioning pretty well of its own accord.
The best tinted moisturiser is, in our opinion, an everyday staple. Unless there’s acne, scarring or severe pigmentation to disguise, almost all skin types and tones look better with less coverage – something super hydrating, and life-like in touch and appearance.
