In addition to providing a radiant complexion, tinted sunscreens offer a variety of skin benefits that surpass those of conventional sunscreens.
There are a few reasons why you might want to use one:
1. UV Protection Across the Board Tinted sunscreens contain mineral filters like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, which protect against UVA and UVB rays. The tint’s addition of iron oxides further enhances UVA protection, lowering the likelihood of hyperpigmentation and premature aging.
2. Protection Against Blue Light (HEV Light)
Our skin is exposed to high-energy visible (HEV) light from our screens, which can cause pigmentation and aging. Iron oxides in tinted sunscreens help shield the skin from blue light emitted by digital screens.
3. A decrease in hyperpigmentation Tinted sunscreens
are especially helpful for people who have melasma or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation because they block visible light, which helps keep skin patches from getting any darker.
4. Even Skin Tone & Natural Coverage
The tint in these sunscreens provides a sheer, natural-looking coverage that evens out the skin tone, reducing the need for heavy foundation or concealer.
5. Benefits from antioxidants Antioxidants like vitamin C, vitamin E, and niacinamide are in a lot of tinted sunscreens. These antioxidants help neutralize free radicals and protect against environmental damage.
6. It’s kind to sensitive skin. Since they rely on mineral-based filters, tinted sunscreens are less likely to cause irritation or clog pores, making them ideal for sensitive, acne-prone, or rosacea-prone skin.
7. Flexible and multifunctional
With the combination of skincare, sun protection, and light coverage, tinted sunscreens streamline your routine by replacing separate sunscreen and foundation products.
