Why Choose Tinted Sunscreen?

Why go Tinted with your Sunscreen?

A great advantage of a tinted sunscreen is its ability to balance skin tone and give a smooth and uniform look. The tint is often the one to help them to conceal these problems like redness, dark spots, or pimples, without the use of any more makeup products. It can be especially beneficial for people who suffer from sensitive skin or who, on days when they do not want to wear a lot of make-up, prefer a more minimalist look.

Besides, tinted sunscreens can actually add up a bit of glowy skin leading to the enhancement of your self-esteem by feeling more complete even when you do not have any make-up on. The tint can also counter the occurrence of sometimes-chalky or white casts that usually accompany traditional mineral-based sunscreens.

Besides, tinted sunscreens are also very flexible in a way that various shades of them are achievable. The majority of such an innovative product retains the ability to adjust to different skin tone making it a good option for those who dread finding a shade of their foundations or BB creams. Enabling your skin protection and a slight color nuance in one go, you can make your morning routine start easier and with more time on your hands.

The Science Behind Tinted Sunscreen

Tinted sunscreens perform by introducing iron oxides and mineral-based pigments to the formula. Aside from the pigments adding a slight tint, they also are able to reflect and scatter the rays of UV light, boosting the sun protection of the product.

This effect is quite common in mineral-based sunscreen treatments and to solve this, these tints are actually incorporated into the formulas, thereby giving the sunscreens an aura of natural lightness. As the tint closely matches the color of your skin, the artificial finish is not evident and instead, you get an even tone.

Choosing the Right Tinted Sunscreen

Even though the skin type and tone pose no problems to the makeup tinted sunscreen user, choosing the one that perfectly fits the individual is of prime importance. Try also to go for the ones which do not become comedogenic (do not block pores) and quite suited to your specific skin problems that might include irritation or oiliness issues.

However, it is still a wise decision to try a small portion of the product on the skin to test whether the item matches the skin color as well as suits the texture or not, thus you can add it confidently as your goal of purchase. Apart from the fact that we at Sun Zapper manufacture the best formulations of tinted sunscreen, we are also committed to giving our customers the experience of sun protection that is both GORGEOUS and radiant.
