The Best Tinted Moisturizers For Mature Skin, According to Celebrity Makeup Artists

UV rays put production of melanin (skin’s pigment) into overdrive, resulting in brown spots. But vitamin C can help! “This antioxidant inhibits the enzymes responsible for excess pigment production while also increasing cell turnover to fade and brighten existing spots,” says New York City dermatologist Francesca Fusco, M.D. “And one that contains SPF 30 will prevent future damage.”

This tinted moisturizer by Neutrogena is another one of Egan’s favorites. She says it’s a great option for those with sensitive skin because “it’s non-greasy and won’t clog pores.” Celebrity makeup artist Neil Scibelli says: “This is one of my favorite all-in-one tints and is ideal for women over 50 because the formula contains finely milled light reflective pigments which helps to give the skin an overall glow and radiance,” he says. “It also nourishes the skin with vitamins A, C and E, and acts as a shield against the environment while also getting that light weight built-in coverage.” One of the best parts? It’s less than $15 and can be found at the drugstore.

For those of us with sensitive skin, the slightest exposure to heat or sun can trigger skin rashes or rosacea flare-ups. To the rescue: a tinted moisturizer with green tea. The “brew” is packed with anti-inflammatory polyphenols that calm irritation and redness, says Dr. Fusco. Plus, continued topical use of green tea has been shown to lessen rosacea-caused ruddiness by 70 percent in four weeks, revealing a more even-toned skin.

As we get older our bodies produce less hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance that holds water into cells to keep skin hydrated. Pair that dryness with a slowdown in skin-firming collagen, and wrinkles can come into harsh focus. Dr. Fusco advises applying the acid topically. “It helps skin cells retain up to a thousand times their weight in water — and the added hydration helps plump lines for smoother-looking skin.” A great way to reap the benefits? With this tinted moisturizer!

This tinted moisturizer by Hi Beautiful You is a cult favorite , mainly because of its Smart Tint Technology, which can match almost any skin tone despite it only coming in four shades. Plus, it’s one of Egan’s favorites because of its antioxidants. “It has a buildable, lightweight formula that improves skin’s tone and texture with antioxidant alpha lipoic acid and vitamins A and E,” says Egan. “It also reduces redness — it’s almost like an Instagram filter for the face.”

Finding the right shade for your skin comes easy with Rare Beauty’s Positive Light Tinted Moisturizer. It is offered in 24 shades, truly making it a tinted moisturizer for everyone. Better yet, it is made with SPF 20 for sun protection and vitamin E as an antioxidant that moisturizes and softens.
