I’ve been a fan of tinted moisturiser for absolutely ages and for a variety of reasons. For one, as you age, your complexion loses its even tone, so a tinted moisturiser not only moisturises your skin but also smoothes out the colour. They’re also great when you travel; with a good quality product you can use it by day if it has an SPF rating, and at night for going out for light makeup coverage. There’s a growing number of organic brands on the market too, satisfying a demand from women who wish to use more natural products, and put less chemicals on their skin. So if you’re looking for an organic tinted moisturiser which doesn’t break the bank and is good for your skin, Physician’s Formula Organic Wear Tinted Moisturiser is one to consider. The price is great - just $24.95 for 44mls - and you can buy it in a variety of outlets including Priceline, in four easy-to-match shades. But as any beauty expert knows, the success of any tinted moisturiser is if it works.
The creamy formula in this product is infused with Organic Fruit Water to help nourish and restore skin's moisture balance, and it comes with SPF 15 protection. It also has 80 per cent certified organic ingredients, including jojoba seed oil, sunflower seed oil, avocado oil, and shea butter to moisturise the skin. And then there’s what it doesn’t have, which includes no harsh chemicals, parabens, GMOs, and no synthetic preservatives, colours or fragrances. And as a bonus the tinted moisturiser is 100 per cent cruelty free and comes in completely recyclable packaging. Testing one in light-to-natural shade, Organic Wear Tinted Moisturiser smoothes out your skin tone while leaving your complexion looking natural. It feels light and fresh on the skin, applies really easily and blends well, and if you are really keen for a fuller coverage you can use it under a foundation (as long as it’s creamy). There is a mild odour on application but it tends to fade after a short while; otherwise I can’t fault this lovely, affordable travel essential.
