Look for formulas tailored to your skin type—hydrating options for dry skin, oil-free or mattifying formulas for oily or combination skin, and gentle, fragrance-free products for sensitive skin.

3. SPF Protection

A tinted moisturizer with broad-spectrum SPF adds an extra layer of daily sun protection. While it shouldn't replace your dedicated sunscreen, it’s a convenient way to boost your routine.

4. Coverage and Finish

Consider the level of coverage you prefer, from sheer to medium, and whether you want a dewy, radiant finish or something more matte. The right formula will even out your complexion without feeling heavy.
