Summers are brutal and there's nothing we can do to switch the sun off, but we can (read 'must') do everything to keep our skin safe from the unforgiving sunrays that threaten to tan and burn our skin cells. As such, it is important to apply sunscreen with at least SPF 30 every day, even on days when you don’t step out. And there’s a delightful way to make sunscreens a one-stop-solution for both your skincare and makeup routine. Wondering how? The answer is: Tinted Sunscreens. If you’re looking for a way to skip concealers and foundations this summer, switch to tinted sunscreens ATM. These babies come in various shades to match your skin tone while acting as a foundation for your makeup.

The Derma Co 1% Hyaluronic Tinted Sunscreen Gel


'I love Derma, it’s my trusted go-to brand. Their tinted sunscreen gel provides beautifully luminous skin, boosts my skin tone, and gives it a universal hue, and is my skin’s favourite protector. The best part is the fact that it doesn't leave behind any oiliness and is fragrance-free. Also, the 1% hyaluronic acid helps keep my skin looking young and healthy. You should totally give this a go.'

Re'equil Sheer Zinc Tinted Sunscreen


'I love this product, it is a 100% mineral sunscreen with 25% zinc as the only sunscreen filter, which is unique and fabulous. It comes with a universal tint that blends with every skin tone and leaves absolutely no white cast. Being a physical sunscreen, it also forms a barrier between makeup products and the topmost layer of your skin and acts as a primer. It’s a great choice.'

Lakme Sun Expert Tinted Sunscreen


'Usually, when I go out on a sunny day, even after applying sunscreen, my skin tone becomes a little darker than before. But after using this, I could feel the difference between this one and other sunscreens. It also gives a nice glossy finish to my face, so that there is no need to apply makeup. With ingredients like zinc oxide and cucumber, this tinted sunscreen promises to hydrate and protect your skin from harmful sun rays. I suggest that you add this to your cart right away!'

'I used to wear my friend's EltaMD Tinted Sunscreen, and after a few times, I switched to this one forever! Serious UV protection and superior hydration come together in this lightweight formula. It contains hyaluronic acid to keep my skin moisturised and natural minerals like zinc oxide for ultimate protection. I love that it leaves no residue and I can wear it under makeup as a primer.'

MyGlamm PoPxo Tinted Sunscreen

'Honestly, I bought this sunscreen randomly after a friend’s recommendation. I was expecting no miracles, but now it’s the only product that I want to use to protect my skin. Its lightweight mousse formula easily melts into the skin, and the primer-like finish reduces the visibility of blemishes and makes the skin appear smooth, giving you IRL-filtered skin in just one step. The non-sticky texture makes it a rockstar under makeup, and its water-resistant properties are perfect for the beach and pool, too.'

Earth Rhythm Glow Set Go


'I have been using the Earth Rhythm Glow Set Go for a while now and can attest to the fact that it does what it claims. Packed with the goodness of cocoa butter, vitamin E, and willow bark extract, it moisturises my skin and helps protect it from harmful UVA and UVB rays. It can also be used as a primer or highlighter as it creates a shiny base for makeup application. Given the price, I'd say it's totally worth it!'

Lotus Herbals 3-In-1 Sunscreen


'If you ask me my favourite tinted sunscreen, the Lotus Herbals Safe Sun 3-In-1 Sunscreen would get a big thumbs up from me. No one likes a white residue after application, and this one not only leaves a mattifying finish but has also softened my skin with regular use. Infused with essential natural ingredients like birch and hops extract, this has reduced oiliness and leaves a soothing feel every time. 10/10 would recommend!'

Foxtale Tinted Sunscreen

'I had been recently hearing a lot about Foxtale, so when I needed a sunscreen, I decided to try this one out, and boy, I am glad I did. Firstly, applying this eliminates the need for a primer and a foundation. Next, the dry and matte finish of this just looks like my skin, but better. Unlike other tinted sunscreens, this does not darken my skin tone but rather evens it out. The zinc oxide and Vitamin E infused in it are what give it the glow. They also have colour options to perfectly match your skin tone.
