As the warmer months roll in, finding the right SPF that also gives your skin a natural, glowy finish becomes essential.
Tinted sunscreens are my go-to because they protect your skin while adding just the right amount of coverage. I’ve tried a few favorites, and here’s how I’d break them down depending on your skin type and coverage preference!

1. BareMinerals Complexion Rescue – Best for Dry Skin

If your skin tends to be on the drier side, this one’s a dream. The coverage is buildable, so you can start light in the morning and add more as needed throughout the day. Its hydrating formula keeps skin comfortable, though those with oily skin might find it a bit too rich. For anyone battling dryness, this is a must-have for that natural, dewy glow.

2. Saie Slip Tint – Barely There, Perfect for Minimalists

For days when you want to keep it ultra-light, the Saie Slip Tint is a winner. It feels weightless on the skin and doesn’t contribute to shine, making it ideal for no-makeup, no-fuss days. The coverage is subtle but evens out your complexion beautifully, giving skin a soft, natural finish.

3. Versed SPF Tint – Full Coverage with Extra Protection

If you’re after something closer to a traditional foundation but want SPF built in, the Versed SPF Tint is the one to reach for. It offers the most coverage among the three, making it perfect for makeup lovers who also want sun protection. On top of that, it’s budget-friendly and has the highest SPF, so it’s a practical choice that doesn’t compromise on performance.
Choosing the right tinted SPF depends on your skin type and the look you want to achieve. For hydration, go BareMinerals; for light, effortless coverage, Saie is your best friend; and for fuller coverage with solid sun protection, Versed takes the win. No matter which you pick, your skin will stay protected and radiant under the sun.
