A Little Goes A Long Way
Why Should You Invest in a Tinted Moisturizer?
A true minimalist already has a tinted moisturizer they love, but if you’re more of an all-or-nothing foundation person, you may not have explored the options available in these lower-coverage formulas.
Tinted moisturizers (and products like them) are designed to make your skin feel hydrated and give you just a bit of coverage all in one fell swoop. Using them can be a lifesaver during hot summer months when you don’t want as much product on your face, or during the winter, layered under your foundation to provide extra moisture.
Let’s dive into the conversation about tinted moisturizers and explore their function, as well as which other products you can use to nourish your complexion while adding a touch of radiance. We’ll also discuss what ingredients in certain tinted moisturizers are unsuitable for your skin type and how you can shield yourself from them.
Have you ever heard of tinted moisturizer if not, then let us enlighten you.
Tinted moisturizers, sometimes labeled “skin tints,” are products that offer both hydration and a subtle hint of color to provide coverage. If you adore the all-natural look but still prefer some slight concealment, then tinted moisturizers give you the best of both worlds!
Struggling to determine between tinted moisturizer or foundation?
Foundations are formulated to provide an even coverage, concealing any skin irregularities or discoloration. On the other hand, tinted moisturizers offer a light touch of color correction and keep your complexion hydrated with its dewy texture. These products make it easier for you to achieve that healthy-looking glow while still giving you enough pigment to conceal imperfections.
Between a Tinted Moisturizer and BB Cream?
BB Creams (or ‘Beauty Balm’ creams) are must-have skincare items that provide light coverage and a few other beneficial skin ingredients. When looking for one, you will find many options with SPF protection as an included feature – meaning that these products can take the place of moisturizers, foundations, and sunscreen!Don’t be fooled by the many BB creams out there. Although they may contain ingredients to protect your skin from UVA and UVB rays, oftentimes these products include oxybenzone – an allergen, toxin, and even carcinogen with potential reproductive interference. Therefore it is essential that you avoid applying anything containing this ingredient on or around your body.
While BB creams may offer some skin care benefits, they often contain unwanted ingredients such as silicones, and mineral oils that can do more harm than good. Fortunately, you can achieve the same kind of results with a natural plant-based tinted moisturizer without these chemical-based components that could put your body at risk.
Does Tinted Moisturizer give you the coverage you need?
A tinted moisturizer should always have light coverage, as this is what makes it a “tint” rather than foundation. If you need added coverage or are looking for something buildable, then layering your favorite foundation over the top of a tinted moisturizer will give you better results. Be aware that due to its hydrating and emollient properties, wearing multiple layers of product can leave you with an oily complexion.
Do you need a primer before applying tinted moisturizer?
To get the most out of your primer, make sure to hydrate your skin prior. We recommend our Beauty Oil for a hydrating pre-primer prep! On top of that, if you plan on using a tinted moisturizer as well, it should be applied beforehand so that the primer can create an effective barrier and lock in all those nutrients from your moisturizer. Anything else would not allow moisture to penetrate properly once the priming product is already set onto your face.
Is Tinted Moisturizer the Best Option for Nourishing and Protecting Dry Skin?
Is your skin too oily and prone to outbreaks? Chances are, it is dehydrated. When this happens, the sebaceous glands kick into overdrive to make up for it. The combination of excess sebum mixing with dust and dead cells clog pores leading to blemishes in no time! Oil-free products that claim they’re good for greasy skin will have an opposite effect – leaving you feeling dried out until your breakouts start coming back worse than before! That’s why selecting a product specifically formulated for oily and acne-prone skin can be beneficial.
Those dealing with acne can still benefit from utilizing a skin tinting moisturizer. Seek out ingredients that will help to balance the moisture levels of your skin, resulting in less oiliness for an effortless and healthy complexion.
Is It Safe to Wear a Tinted Moisturizer Every Day?
Absolutely! Wearing a tinted moisturizer that is packed with hydrating, natural ingredients every day is no problem whatsoever. However, it’s important to remember that your skin needs nourishing hydration without coloration too; therefore make sure you take off your makeup and use an intense moisturizing product before going to bed each night.
Want tips for applying tinted moisturizer?
Tinted moisturizers give you a natural, subtle look that won’t leave your face feeling overly exposed. Here’s how to apply it correctly and embrace the flawless end result!
Begin with a Fresh Canvas
If you’re looking for a way to deeply nourish, hydrate and cleanse your skin, raw coconut cream is the perfect choice!

Lock in lasting hydration by applying a lightweight moisturizer every day.
For maximum color staying power, use a lightweight moisturizer before applying your tinted product.
