Frequently asked questions
What is a tinted moisturiser for men?
A tinted moisturiser combines moisturising benefits with a tint that helps even the appearance of the skin. Some formulas also provide coverage for imperfections and include SPF.
What is the difference between a BB cream and a tinted moisturiser?
A BB cream is a type of tinted complexion product that can combine coverage with skincare benefits such as moisturisation and SPF. Tinted moisturisers generally focus on adding a sheer tint alongside hydration.
Does tinted moisturiser cover blemishes?
Coverage varies by product. A BB tinted moisturiser may help conceal skin imperfections, while an under-eye concealer is intended for targeted areas such as dark circles and spots.
Can I use tinted moisturiser on dry skin?
Yes, a moisturising tinted product can suit dry skin, especially when it offers long-lasting hydration. Check the product's stated hydration benefits and apply it to clean skin.
What does SPF in a tinted moisturiser do?
SPF helps protect the skin from ultraviolet radiation. A product with SPF can add sun protection to a skincare and complexion routine, but follow the product's directions for use.
How do I choose a shade for a tinted moisturiser?
Choose the shade range that most closely matches your skin tone. Colour-correcting technology may help the product blend with the complexion, but the available shade options still matter.
