Tinted moisturisers are a staple in the arsenals of many a beauty professional, and for good reason.
What makes tinted moisturisers universally appealing is their lightweight texture, making them an ideal alternative to heavier foundations. Many tinted moisturisers are formulated in a single shade that effortlessly adapts to the wearer’s skin tone.
For those tinted moisturisers that incorporate an SPF, they offer an added advantage by reducing the time spent on a morning skincare routine. These products minimise the need for a separate sunscreen application.
Tinted moisturisers can serve as an excellent final touch after some facials and aesthetic treatments. They effectively conceal any redness that may occur following procedures like facial waxing or active peels, where not ablative.
Moreover, tinted moisturisers present a fantastic opportunity for retail upselling. Given their daily usage, they require regular replenishment. Often available at a more affordable price compared to other skincare products, they cater to users of all ages and various skin types.
