The next time you’re perusing the aisles of your local CVS, consider picking up a tinted moisturizer (or two). Particularly during the summer months when the sun has the tendency to melt off half your makeup by the end of the day, swapping in a lightweight, hydrating skin perfector instead of your favorite foundation can make a huge difference. The best part is, so many tinted moisturizers also come with a slew of other skin care benefits, like hyaluronic acid and sun protection, so your skin looks fantastic even after you wash your face at the end of the day. “The benefits of a tinted moisturizer are a more hydrated and second-skin makeup look. Most foundations provide coverage, but minimal skin care. Tinted moisturizers have skin care benefits along with a natural but buildable coverage,” says makeup artist Erica Taylor.
