When it comes to skincare, I favour low-maintenance, hybrid formulas that can shave minutes off my daily routine. Enter tinted SPF’s, which not only protect my skin from UV rays, but give me glowy, pigmented coverage.
Eliminating the need for multiple steps, the best tinted SPF’s I’ve tried – including Ultra Violette, Merit and Supergoop! – can cost upwards of £30 for a small tube. Thankfully, I’ve found that budget buys can do the job just as well.
Case in point: Garnier’s vitamin C daily UV brightening fluid glow (a mouthful, I know). Sitting alongside the brightening serum, SPF spray, micellar water and liquid toner, the affordable SPF hails from the brand’s bestselling vitamin C range. Lauded by beauty editors and skincare buffs alike, all the formulas are genuinely good and incredibly affordable.
The last step in my skincare routine, Garnier’s budget buy is my go-to tinted SPF. The formula is lightweight and easily blendable, while the SPF 50 formulation has all bases covered when it comes to sun protection. Designed to be one-shade-fits-all, the cream gives your skin a glowy and lightweight coverage. Plus, the slimline tube is perfect for packing in your bag and topping up when you want a little more coverage during the day.
The best part is that it costs a little more than £10 thanks to Amazon’s ‘everyday essentials week’. Here’s why Garnier’s tinted SPF should be in your next beauty haul.
