Whether you already wear a foundation and you're on the hunt for a lighter form of coverage for summer, or you're looking to subtly enhance your skin, tinted moisturiser is the way forward. Designed to add a healthy glow to the skin alongside a surge of hydration, it’s one of the most subtle, yet effective ways of improving your skin’s appearance. With warmer weather approaching, tinted moisturiser is the best option to allow your skin to breathe. Here you can find out everything you need to know about tinted moisturiser for men.

What’s The Difference Between Foundation and Tinted Moisturiser?

Foundation and tinted moisturiser are rather similar, yet they have some important differences to take into account. Foundation is a cosmetic-based product with a much heavier finish, whereas tinted moisturiser focuses more on skincare benefits and has lighter coverage. Tinted moisturisers are made to hydrate the skin and add less colour pigment to the surface.

How to Use Tinted Moisturiser

When applied incorrectly, tinted moisturiser can leave your skin looking patchy. To make sure you get an even finish, follow the below steps.

  1. Cleanse

    By cleansing the skin, it removes any dirt and impurities sat on the skin which can leave it looking dull. The Jack Black Pure Clean Daily Facial Cleanser draws our build-up of dirt and oil within the pores to reveal a clearer complexion.

  2. Tone

    After cleansing, it’s important to use a toner to eliminate any remaining impurities. A high quality toner such as the L:A Bruket No. 099 Face Toner is a good choice. Made with organic ingredients, it nourishes and soothes skin for long-lasting comfort.

  3. Conceal

    Once the skin has been prepped, take a concealer and apply a small amount on imperfections. Feel free to add a small amount underneath the eye to hide dark circles too. Unsure of how to use concealer? Check out our guide to applying concealer. And take a look at our best concealers for men while you're on the topic.

  4. Apply and Blend

    Apply a small amount of tinted moisturiser to a dry makeup sponge, start at the forehead and blend outwards. Start with a small amount as you can then apply more if needed, rather than over-doing it.
