Clean Beauty: Best Tinted Moisturizers and Skincare
If you still have a beauty routine that isn’t “clean” and want to start swapping out a few of your everyday products, here are some top notch clean beauty brands to get into now. Naturally sourced, sustainably produced and cruelty-free…plus, your skin will never look better. Sounds like a win-win-win-win.
Clean Tinted Moisturizers:
Tinted moisturizer is one of my favorite things, combining daily lotion, foundational coverage and SPF all in one! Hello timesaver! My top three picks also help protect skin from free radicals and leave your skin with a radiant finish. It’s the first thing I put on every morning and I never leave home without it.
If you haven’t started using a daily facial sunscreen, there’s no time like the present! The best way to fix sun damage is to protect yourself from it in the first place. This natural tinted moisturizer provides clean SPF 35 protection using 100% mineral zinc oxide. The lightweight formula is super-hydrating, brightening and with a lightweight coverage, it’s perfect for everyday use.
Saie’s Slip Tint gives you a natural-looking glow with a beautiful, dewy finish (who doesn’t want that?). And with hyaluronic acid, it deeply hydrates – even penetrating drier skin that needs an extra boost. It comes in a wide range of shades to match every skin tone and ensure you find your perfect match. The color it provides is a beautiful sheer tint so it’s a good tinted moisturizer for those days when you want a more natural look without heavy makeup.
SAIE, SLIP TINT, $36
One of the best tinted moisturizers that provides full coverage plus sun protection is Nars Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer. With sixteen different shades and a beautiful, matte finish, this is a great option that rivals full-coverage foundations (aka, keep in your make-up bag at all times!). This oil-free formula has many skincare benefits as well. It contains Vitamin C which fights dark spots and evens out skin tone. And it’s packed with SPF 30 to protect your face from sun damage all day long.
NARS, PURE RADIANT TINTED MOISTURIZER, $46
Laura Mercier is another amazing option when it comes to tinted moisturizers. With twenty different shades, their Tinted Moisturizer Natural Skin Perfector with SPF 30 is a fan favorite. With just the right amount of light coverage and maximum hydration, this is a perfect option to use daily for that “no makeup makeup look”. It also contains antioxidants and Vitamins C and E to protect your skin from harmful environmental factors. Their 50 ml size is great to keep at home for your daily routine and their 25 ml mini is the perfect size to throw in your purse.
LAURA MERCIER, TINTED MOISTURIZER NATURAL SKIN PERFECTOR SPF 30, $54
Clean Skincare:
RéVive’s advanced daytime moisturizer with SPF 30 is formulated to treat, hydrate, and protect skin against UV damage, premature aging, and daily environmental aggressors. Packed with organic ingredients including Vitamin E and C, this cream helps to reinforce your skin’s natural barrier. This luxurious day cream feels so light and supple on the skin. Use daily for a healthier, more youthful glow. (Their night cream is also a must!)
RÉVIVE, MOISTURIZING RENEWAL DAY CREAM, $195
Want the next best thing to Botox? Try this liquid collagen. After washing your face, layer this under your regular or tinted moisturizer to restore your skin’s bounce & resilience. It’s also been clinically shown to reduce the severity of fine lines and wrinkles, creating smoother, firmer looking skin.
(Hint: there is also a mini size for $25 if you want to test it out first.)
ALGENIST, GENIUS LIQUID COLLAGEN, $115
Inspired by professional chemical peels, these intense exfoliating overnight acid peel pads refine, re-texturize, and brighten skin while you sleep. The best part is you only have to use one night per week and should start seeing & feeling the results after the first use! It also contains hyaluronic acid, which has the added benefit of being naturally moisturizing, so you wake up with soft, smooth, beautifully glowing skin.
GOOP BEAUTY, GOOPGLOW OVERNIGHT GLOW PEEL, $45
Clean Face Wash:
Fresh’s universal face wash is proven to maintain skin’s pH while also cleansing and softening any skin type. It removes dirt and make-up and leaves your face feeling clean and well, fresh! This multitasking product also soothes and hydrates your skin with natural ingredients like aloe vera and cucumber extract.
And with a jumbo size for home and a travel size for the road, you never have to go a day without it.
FRESH, SOY FACE CLEANSER, $39
