Summer is in full swing, and if you haven't done so already, now is the perfect time to switch up your makeup routine. No matter if you want to ditch heavy foundations or if you're all about the clean girl aesthetic and want to slay a "no-makeup" makeup look, you should try out one of our picks for the best tinted moisturizers with SPF. This skincare-meets-makeup hybrid is a multi-purpose must-have that offers light-to-buildable coverage to conceal blemishes while also protecting skin from damaging sun rays.

Unlike tinted sunscreens, tinted moisturizers with SPF contain emollients that smooth the skin, humectants that draw moisture from air to skin, and occlusives that prevent water loss to hydrate skin, board-certified dermatologist Dr. James Y. Wang tells Seventeen. So, basically, you're getting the hydration from your fave moisturizer combined with a splash of color similar to a foundation or concealer and sun protection all in one. Before you head out to grab your next tinted moisturizer with SPF, Dr. Wang recommends looking for a broad-spectrum, water-resistant SPF 20 or higher formula to ensure your skin is fully protected against sun damage.

Tinted moisturizers with SPF do provide sun protection, but the Metropolis Dermatology founder advises against wearing them alone. Instead, he suggests applying an additional sunscreen to reinforce the protection. You should also keep your skin's type and concerns in mind when you're looking for a new tinted moisturizer with SPF. "If you have sensitive skin, reach for a fragrance-free option," he says.

When it comes to applying this multipurpose skincare essential, Tobi Henny — makeup artist to A-listers like actress Megan Fox and model Taylor Hill — recommends using your fingers to apply the product onto your face and blending it in with a brush, like the Trademark Beauty Foundation Brush. Dr. Wang also recommends shaking up the tinted moisturizer with SPF to ensure that it distributes evenly. And yes, just like regular sun blockers, tinted moisturizers with SPF must be reapplied as directed.
