The Surprising Reason You’ll Want To Avoid Tinted Moisturiser

When it comes to day make-up, we often opt for a tinted moisturiser because it's lighter than foundation. However, thanks to this dermatologist tip, we may have to rethink this practice. Dr Christie Kidd is a skin expert and her celebrity clients include the Jenner sisters. Mimi alerted us to the fact that Dr.Kidd is the professional who's been giving Kylie some of the beauty advice that she's shared with fans on her app. Like most skin care pros, Dr.Kidd is forceful about using SPF to protect the skin. Well if it's good enough for Kylie... However when it comes to makeup, she has one major bugbear and that's tinted moisturiser. She recommends avoiding it because in her opinion it can often lead to pesky spots. "Tinted moisturisers are designed to absorb deep in the layers of your skin to hydrate your skin and protect it, but it's bringing all that pigment with it. That's going to break you out." Now this is only one opinion but if you use tinted moisturiser and find that you're getting spots regularly, it might be worth trying a different type of base.
