Most Tinted Moisturizers Have SPF, But These are the Best

Whether you’re spending most of the day inside or outdoors for work or errands, sun protection is a must. I’ll say it again for the people in the back—wearing sunscreen is very important. Apply it every day, even when the sun is hiding behind the clouds; UV rays will find their way around them. And if you’re someone who forgets to apply it before or after putting on your makeup, invest in the best SPF tinted moisturizer or other coverage option. There’s plenty to choose from.

This time of year—those months when cool spring days are sandwiched in-between humid summer days and a random day where it’s 40 degrees and raining—tinted moisturizer is the product everyone seems to be banking on. And while there are so many that target every and any concern, including dryness and acne, almost all of them include SPF (thank goodness). So which ones are the best? According to reviews (and a whole lot of scrolling and clicking on my part), these seven formulas are the hall-of-famers that actually do what they say. Keep scrolling and get familiar before locking down your in-between-seasons routine.

PÜR.

PÜR 4-in-1 Tinted Moisturizer Broad Spectrum SPF 20

If like me, you rarely want to give more than five minutes to a morning beauty routine, this multitasking glow getter should be at the top of your shopping list. It moisturizes, primes the skin for makeup, provides sun protection, all while being the makeup it preps your skin for, too. In addition to enriching the skin with multiple hydrating ingredients, its exclusive Ceretin Complex also provides reparative properties for targeting skin damage.
