8 best tinted sunscreens to amp up your SPF coverage | ZCFH0P1 | 2024-04-24 14:08:01
IN AUSTRALIA, WE understand the importance of sunscreen better than most — especially since even in winter, our UV ratings are often high enough to warrant full slip-slop-slap-seek-slide sun protection.
But even if we understand that, many of us would likely admit to falling short of those requirements for adequate sun protection — so there's always more we can do to stay protected when the UV is high.
For that reason, adding another form of sun protection in the form of a tinted SPF rather than your usual foundation or BB cream (on top of your SPF30 or above sunscreen) is definitely not a bad idea. Below, we round up the best tinted SPFs on the market, with options to suit every skin tone and type.

What is a tinted sunscreen?
Tinted sunscreens are a form of sun protection that include a blend of pigments in addition to their sun protective ingredients, to add a level of (often sheer, but also buildable) coverage to the skin.

Can I wear tinted sunscreen alone?
While you could wear some tinted sunscreens alone, as Ultra Violette notes, it's best not to — only because you're not likely to apply the correct amount to ensure adequate SPF protection. The rule of thumb for sunscreen is about a quarter of a teaspoon for your face and neck, which would equate to quite a lot of your tinted sunscreen — fine if you like a full coverage appearance, but if you prefer a sheerer look for the day-to-day, you might prefer to instead layer your tinted sunscreen over a regular, untinted facial sunscreen. That way, you can ensure you have adequate sun protection while also maintaining that au natural, non-cakey look.
Plus, since experts recommend reapplying sunscreen every two hours while in direct sunlight, you can use an invisible sunscreen reapplication mist — like Ultra Violette's Preen Screen or Naked Sunday's SPF50+ Glow Mist — to maintain your sun protection coverage without ruining your makeup.

Yes, it is okay to use tinted sunscreen every day to provide sun protection and coverage — as long as you're ensuring that you're applying the correct amount (or layering it over untinted SPF) to ensure optimal SPF coverage.
Do you put sunscreen under or over tinted sunscreen or moisturiser?
Always apply your starter dose of 5ml or 1/4 teaspoon of sunscreen before applying any sort of base makeup — even if it's a product enriched with SPF. And as mentioned, you can continue to top up your SPF coverage throughout the day with a reapplication spray like Ultra Violette's Preen Screen or Naked Sunday's SPF50+ Glow Mist.
