Here’s what you should know about this amazing product!

What Does Tinted Moisturizer Do?

A tinted moisturizer’s primary job is to even out your skin tone while hydrating the skin. It’s an excellent option for people who want a natural glow but who aren’t huge fans of wearing makeup.

Its lightweight quality makes it the perfect option on hot, humid days when wearing full-coverage (heavy) makeup gets uncomfortable and leaves you with those dreaded makeup streaks. Yikes!

Some of the benefits of tinted moisturizer include:

  • Hydrating

  • Weightless wearability

  • Radiant, dewy finish

  • Natural appearance

  • Great for outdoor activities and sports

  • Ideal for lounging around the pool or lake

  • Doesn’t clog pores

Who Should Use Tinted Moisturizer?

Tinted moisturizers are ideal for all skin types and lifestyles. The secret to finding a product you can’t live without and reaping all the rewards is to find a tinted moisturizer for your skin type.

Let us ask you a few questions: !

Do you have dry skin? People with dry skin need more hydration to combat itchiness and flakiness. The best type of moisturizer for dry skin is one with hyaluronic acid. Dry skin also does well with extra moisture boosts from products containing plant extracts like jojoba oil and aloe.

Do you have oily skin? Many people with this skin type make the mistake of thinking they don’t need moisturizing. We understand the confusion, but the fact is that all skin needs moisturizing. In fact, did you know that a moisturizer could stop your skin from overproducing oil? It’s true. Using a lightweight moisturizer with oil-free hydrators like Glo Skin Beauty’s C-Shield Anti-Pollution Moisture Tint makes your skin look less oily!

Do you have acne-prone skin? There are two things every moisturizer should have if you have acne-prone skin: a fragrance-free, non-comedogenic formula and SPF 30 sun protection. The non-comedogenic formula prevents pores from clogging, and the SPF stops the sun from aggravating acne and causing redness.

Do you have mature skin? Anti-aging tinted moisturizers are lightweight and don’t settle into the fine lines on your face. And, since you want to keep your mature skin protected from the sun, always choose a tinted moisturizer with SPF 30 sun protection or higher to shield against damaging UV rays.

Is a Tinted Moisturizer the Same as a CC Cream?

Not exactly. Let us explain.

CC is short for color-correcting cream. Like tinted moisturizer, it delivers a natural look with sheer coverage, but it tends to include antioxidants and more color correction than a tinted moisturizer.

How to Wear Tinted Moisturizer

A fantastic benefit of tinted moisturizer is its buildability. Many people wear it alone, but others use it as their daily primer and then use their favorite foundation to achieve their optimal coverage level.

The beauty of tinted moisturizer is you don’t need special makeup brushes to apply it. Apply a small amount to your fingertips and rub it into your skin as you do with your daily moisturizer. Blend it into the jaw line and down onto the neck to ensure no visible lines.

Do you have some stubborn dark spots, under-eye circles, or sun damage that the tinted moisturizer isn’t covering well? Go ahead and use a concealer for a little more coverage, then go ahead and finish your makeup routine.

Do Tinted Moisturizers Come in Many Shades?

Are you worried you won’t find a shade that matches your skin tone? While some tinted moisturiser come in limited shades (usually light, medium, or dark), Glo Skin Beauty’s C-Shield Anti-Pollution Moisture Tint comes in ten shades. Come into the salon and let us help you find  the perfect shade. Our makeup experts can show you how to build the product to create a custom look you’ll fall in love with immediately.

Do I Still Need to Wear a Daily Moisturizer?

We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again. No one product can do everything. That’s why we recommend you use a daily moisturizer in addition to the tinted moisturizer.
