What Are the Benefits of Using a Skin Tint with Mineral SPF?
This lightweight skin tint is your ultimate 2-in-1: a skin-enhancing tint that meets sun protection. We love that it streamlines makeup routines without cutting corners; it’s safe for sensitive skin and effective while still giving that coveted dewy glow.
At the heart of it all? Mineral SPF 50, powered by non-nano zinc oxide. Unlike traditional sunscreens, this type of SPF blends in like skincare—no white cast and no greasy residue. Just smooth, natural-looking coverage that feels like nothing and looks like everything.
And yes, non-nano zinc oxide is doing the real work underneath the glow. It can help shield against both UVA (hello, premature aging) and UVB rays when applied correctly, helping to keep your skin protected. So, whether you’re going bare-faced or building a bold makeup look—this skin tint with SPF has you (and your skin) covered. For optimal sun protection, we recommend finishing off your makeup look with our setting spray with SPF and re-applying every 2 hours.
Speaking of sunscreen... we have officially earned our first Skin Cancer Foundation Seal of Recommendation! What exactly does this mean? It means that our skin tint is recommended by The Skin Cancer Foundation as a safe and effective makeup product that helps shield skin against the sun.
How is a Skin Tint Different from Other Face Makeup?
With multiple different face makeup options, let’s break down the difference to help you find the type of foundation coverage that’s right for you:
-
Halo Glow Skin Tint SPF 50: isn’t your average base—we formulated it to live in its own lane. Compared to our foundations, it’s the lightest, dewiest, and most skincare-forward option yet. Think: sheer, skin-enhancing coverage and mineral SPF 50. Your go-to for when you’re not really feeling like makeup but still want the tiniest bit of coverage and sun protection.
-
Soft Glam Satin Foundation : steps things up with medium, buildable coverage and a satin, more perfected finish—ideal for days you want to dial up the glam without going all-out bold.
-
Then there’s our Camo Hydrating CC Cream, which offers full coverage, SPF 30, and a semi-matte finish. It’s your all-in-one if you want coverage and correction. It’s far creamier and thicker than a skin tint, but still feels lightweight on the skin and offers some SPF protection.
How Is the Halo Glow Skin Tint SPF 50 Different from Suntouchable Whoa Glow SPF 30?
Let’s clear up any chance of glow confusion. Our hydrating skin tint and Suntouchable Whoa Glow may seem similar, but they’re totally different when it comes to what they do.
Our Halo Glow Skin Tint is first and foremost a tint. It gives your skin sheer, buildable coverage that helps even out the appearance of your skin tone, boosts hydration, and leaves a dewy, skin-like finish—all while delivering mineral SPF 50 protection. It’s your base and your sun care in one effortless step.
On the other hand, Suntouchable Whoa Glow is a sunscreen with benefits. It’s a lightweight SPF 30 that adds a subtle pearly sheen—think glowy primer or pre-makeup base—but it doesn’t offer coverage.
So, if you're looking to protect and perfect? Skin tint's your pick. If you're after glow and UV defense under makeup? That’s a Whoa Glow moment. Different jobs, same glowing goals!
Frequently Asked Questions about Skin Tints:
What is a skin tint for?
A skin tint is the perfect makeup base option when you’re looking for something more lightweight than a foundation. Skin tints provide light, buildable coverage and will give you a “your skin but better” look. If you’re looking for the perfect base for your everyday makeup, a skin tint is your new makeup bag essential!
Can a skin tint replace foundation?
If you’re looking for a lightweight product with less coverage, then a skin tint is about to be your BFF! A skin tint can definitely replace foundation in your routine, but let’s cover some of the differences first!
A foundation will offer you different levels of coverage: light, medium, full, or buildable! These different options allow you to cater to your makeup preferences and your skin’s coverage needs. A skin tint on the other hand will give you light, buildable coverage, and offer a more lightweight feel. If you want a more natural look, replace your foundation with a skin tint for everyday wear. If you want full glam for a night out, keep your foundation handy. Both can be essentials in your routine!
Is skin tint the same as sunscreen?
While our Halo Glow Skin Tint does have SPF 50, skin tint and sunscreens are very different. Starting with formulas, skin tints will have a consistency that is more similar to your moisturizer or they can even have a serum-like, thinner texture.
Sunscreen on the other hand, usually have a traditional lotion formula, or can even be found in spray formulas. Sunscreen is also typically clear or white (unless you’re using a tinted formula), while a skin tint will always have pigment. Also, skin tints don’t have to include any SPF for sun protection, but our Halo Glow Skin Tint SPF 50 is just that good!
Is a skin tint a face primer?
While a skin tint can definitely be used as your perfect base product, make sure to lay down some face primer before applying! A skin tint won’t have any gripping or sticking powers, like a makeup primer would. By applying a face primer before laying down any face products (including your skin tint!), your makeup will grip to your skin and last all day and night!
Looking for the perfect primer & skin tint combo? Apply our mattifying face primer, then add your skin tint on top for the perfect balance of matte and shine, leaving you with perfectly glowy skin.
How long does a skin tint last?
A skin tint, with the right makeup primer underneath, can last all day and night! A skin tint is meant to last just as long as your other makeup products. With a good gripping primer, the right application technique, and quality tools, your skin tint will be ready to last through a day of summer heat and a night out with your besties.
Pro tip: set your skin tint with a setting powder and setting spray to ensure your makeup look stays locked in place!
Is a skin tint better than a CC cream?
The truth about skin tints and CC creams: one isn’t better than other because they offer so many different benefits! A CC cream is makeup-skincare hybrid offering benefits like hydration and protection.
Most CC creams offer medium coverage, and have a combination of moisturizer, primer, foundation, SPF, and sometimes concealer, all in one formula. A skin tint on the other hand, offers light, buildable coverage and a barely-there feel. Some skin tints also offer sun protection, and a smooth, serum-like texture.
Can you wear a skin tint by itself?
Yes, we love skin tints for a natural, minimal-makeup day! If you’re into a no makeup makeup look, a skin tint is a must-have for your summer makeup routine. While we do recommend applying a face primer underneath your skin tint, what other products you apply on top (or don’t!) are up to you!
If you’re into a light-coverage makeup look, ditch the foundation and concealer, and opt for a skin tint! For a quick, light makeup routine, we recommend starting with a makeup primer, applying your skin tint, then adding in some color with blush or bronzer. Finish off your look with some brow gel, curling your lashes, and some lip balm—then you’re good to go!
