What is tinted SPF?
Tinted SPF is your skincare, sunscreen, and light makeup all rolled into one. It offers the sun protection you need, plus a sheer tint that evens out your skin tone and adds a healthy glow. Think of it as a lightweight BB cream with built-in defense against UVA and UVB rays, along with added skincare benefits. Perfect for no-makeup makeup days, tinted SPFs are great for all skin types and offer a quick, easy way to stay fresh-faced and protected.
