Some women refuse to leave the house without putting on makeup first. If you usually wear foundation because you want coverage that hides any imperfections on your face, you might consider wearing tinted moisturizer instead. Moisturizer is an important part of your skincare routine because it hydrates your skin and helps it look both young and healthy. Tinted products provide some color that blends with your natural skin tone. Though tinted moisturizer provides less coverage than full foundation products do, it’s much lighter and perfect for wearing on a warm day. You can find a good product for you with one of the ten best tinted moisturizers.
