Why? Because in 2025, beauty is no longer about layers of makeup — it’s about healthy, glowing skin that breathes.
Why Foundation Feels Outdated
Foundations were designed to cover everything. But in the process, they often do more harm than good: clogged pores, patchy textures in summer heat, and zero sun protection.
With skin-first beauty trending worldwide, no one wants a product that hides flaws but damages skin long-term. That’s why tinted sunscreens are becoming the new go-to.

FAQs
Q1: Can tinted sunscreen replace foundation?
Yes. For daily use, tinted sunscreen gives coverage, glow, and sun protection — all in one step.
Q2: Is SPF 50 too strong for everyday wear?
Not at all. Dermatologists recommend SPF 30+, and SPF 50 is ideal for regions with strong sun exposure.
Q3: Does tinted sunscreen work for all skin types?
Yes, especially when formulated with non-comedogenic, hydrating ingredients. Always choose a shade that blends with your undertone.
Q4: Can men use tinted sunscreen?
Absolutely. Tinted sunscreen is unisex and provides a natural, non-makeup look while protecting skin.
Q5: How is tinted sunscreen different from BB cream?
BB creams offer light coverage but often lack strong sun protection. Tinted sunscreen, on the other hand, prioritizes SPF + skin defense with added coverage.
