Skincare products of the month
Tinted moisturisers are one of our all-time favourite beauty innovations. After all, a product that nourishes and protects your skin while helping to create that much-sought-after healthy glow has got to be a handbag must-have, hasn't it?
What's more, tinted skin-savers are particularly useful at this time of year when we're (hopefully) beginning to spend a little more time in the sun, and don't want to look like we've just stepped out of a deep-freeze!
But which tinted moisturiser is right for you? To help you decide, here are three of our favourites and the reasons we love them ...
RoC Retin-Ox+ Illuminateur (£27.95; from Boots, Superdrug and selected chemists and supermarkets). This two-in-one miracle worker is the perfect product to help retain youthful-looking skin in your 30s, 40s and beyond. An anti-wrinkle foundation, it reduces the appearance of tell-tale lines, gives a radiant, healthy-looking glow and leaves skin with a natural "non made-up" look. The secret ingredients? Colour pigments to guarantee uniformity, light reflectors for radiance and soft-focus pigments to minimise the appearance of wrinkles. Available in Fair or Golden.
glominerals gloSheer tint base (£22; www.glominerals.com). Celebrities such as Jennifer Lopez and Kirsten Dunst reportedly swear by this mineral make-up range - and it's easy to see why. Made with the company's signature blend of antioxidants, gloSheer tint base delicately covers any skin flaws while boosting the health and appearance of the skin - ensuring you'll soon be ready for your close-up!
Dermalogica Sheer Tint Moisture SPF15 (£22.40; www.dermalogica.com and from www.shop.com). This lightweight, oil-free cream provides the perfect combination of moisture to combat dehydration and antioxidants to protect against free radical damage, UV protection and long-lasting colour. Natural zinc oxide minerals guard against sunlight, provide a sheer wash or colour and make skin look radiant - while olive and walnut seed extracts provide antioxidant protection and improve skin texture.
