Can anyone recommend a good tinted ss? I’m sick of wearing foundation 😊

I like theBalm tinted moisturizer (BalmShelter). The down side is that it only has an spf 18.

I am very fair, so I wear an additional sunscreen under it.

I have tried other tinted sunscreens, but it is hard for me to get a match (usually the lightest shade is still too dark; or too orange). ☹️

EDITED TO ADD - I think theBalm site is still having their 50% off sale, if you are interested

I really like the IT CCcream OR their foundation with sunscreen. Both have strong sunscreen. The CC is heavier, thicker but when I put it over a moisturizer it thins out just fine. They are both physical sunscreen (zinc oxide), not chemical, which is better- I think they have free shipping now. I use them daily. HTH.

If you're relatively fair, give Australian Gold Botanical Tinted Face Mineral Lotion a try but if your skin is dry, be sure to use a good moisturizer underneath. This is my "foundation". It stays in place all day and has an SPF of 50.

I wanted to love this sunscreen and I did like the ingredients and consistency but it never dried down on my skin. It would stay moist all day and come off on anything that touched my face.

Ive been using this. Goes on smoothly, good color match, good coverage. I got it on Amazon.

My top 3 favorites are Elta MD UV Clear (comes in clear or tinted), Origins GinZing SPF 40 Tinted Moisturizer (self-adjusting tint) and lately, my most used one is from ISDIN Eryfotona Ageless Sunscreen 100% Mineral Tinted Sunscreen SPF 50+. Re: ISDIN, It's more of an emulsion and has a great dry down. It's a derm brand from Spain and they have their own shop on Amazon as part of Prime.

@jobiz I prefer not to wear tinted sunscreens. You'd have to apply it to neck and chest and it transfers to light colored clothing. I use an spf of at least 40 or 50 (in summer) all over & then a tinted moisturizer (w/ additional spf) on my face. I can get some light coverage this way, choose a shade that matches my complexion and touch up any areas needed w/ concealer. There are tinted moisturizers for all skin types. For me, it saves a few steps.

@Texasmouse I can see your point... I find that many tinted are so drying that they make the skin look dry and cakey. I guess that is why I like this one. It is a more moist application... and leaves the skin looking softy and more dewy rather than dried up. I guess it depends on what you want.

I have been wearing Dr.Denese Day Cream for years and love it!! It's a multi task product---sunscreen, moisturizer and foundation. It matches to your skin tone and feels light on your face/neck. A little goes a long way. Your skin looks natural (like you but better). I would not be without this product. Hope you have the same results that I do.

Josie makes her Protect and Perfect SPF 47 which is a big seller. I prefer the untinted version simply because I also like to put my sunscreen on my neck and don't want color transfer on my clothes.
