What Do You Use on Your Skin?

You all gave me great haircare product recommendations previously, so I'm back for more tips. My skin is somewhat sensitive, but I currently have a good moisturizer that I like. However, my dermatologist wants me to use something with SPF30 daily, which my product doesn't have. For myself, I would also love a tinted moisturizer to even out skin tone a bit (I don't wear any other makeup, and I don't want to start wearing foundation).

Does anyone use a produce that can hit all 4 of these boxes: good daily moisturizer, SPF30, tinted, and doesn't make sensitive skin break out?

I asked my dermatologist, and the product line she suggested doesn't have quite what I'm hoping for - great products for sensitive skin, but I'd have to buy separate moisturizer and sunscreen, and they don't have a tinted product at all. I know myself, and if I have to use multiple separate products, I'll never do it.

For low-fuss in the morning mommas, what do you use?

What can I do next?

I love Clinique products and they are very good for all skin types. I don't use this, but it has everything you are looking for. The CC cream is more lightweight than foundation and is for correcting color.

I really like Olay Total Effects 7, it's a moisturizer, anti aging serum and SPF 15, and it's fairly affordable and not irritating at all. I'm very fair and never burn using this. Not sure how those tinted products work as they often only come in one shade, which is usually a weird tan color (at least it's tan to me because like I said, I'm very fair!)

I think Laura Mercier's tinted moisturizer is great. Many shades to choose from, to match slight variations in skin tone. Look at the shades in person at Sephora and their return policy allows you to take it home and try it out.

I use Clinique and I have since I was a teen. I just changed products as I got older and my skin changed.

I do a 3 step process twice a day with a serum, eye cream and face cream. The day cream does have SPF. I use the Repairwear series.

However, they do have a tinted moisturizer that would likely meet your criteria.

On my boot camp days when I have class at 5 or 6 am, I just get up, wash my face and use the tinted moisturizer. When I get home and shower, I go through my 3 step process.

I think mine is called City Block and there is also a CC creme that I have not used before.

Hi, I have skin issues similar to you, and need a moisturizer that is gentle on my skin. I swear by my Aveeno products..I love their positively radiant line. And it also has a tinted option. Another brand that is organic is the brand Alba Botanicals . Here is what I use..

I can't locate mine right now - but I use Clinique products and have since I was 16. I find a lot of their products have SPF in them, and I do use a tinted moisturizer in the summer months from them with SPF - it comes in a tube. It has a teeny bit of coverage, but mostly I use it because I don't like makeup in the summer months and I just like the little moisture (non greasy), the SPF and the little color it gives me.

I love their products. I use moisture surge now (it's almost whipped) which I love. I have always used their yellow lotion - forever. I'm switching to the moisture surge though because I find it light and works on it's own and under makeup. I don't wear a lot of make up - and I have combo skin even though I'm middle aged. Hope that helps.

Skinceuticals ultimate UV defense sunscreen SPF 30. I believe they have a tinted version. I don’t use that. You would put on your moisturizer and then the sunscreen. This costs about $40 but is lasts a long time and your face feels great. Not greasy. I have been using it for years. Great for sensitive skin. Order it online.

I know you're low-fuss, but I highly recommend you use a separate sunscreen. SPF containing moisturizers are not broad spectrum sunscreens. Also, for sensitive skin, stick with physical (mineral) sunscreens with zinc oxide and titanium dioxide.

I also use EltaMD UV Physical Broad Spectrum SPF 41 sunscreen, but this is too drying for my dry skin (zinc oxide can be drying) so I mix it with Murad City Skin Age Defense Broad Spectrum SPF 50 PA ++++.

FYI, SPF refers to the protection you get from UVB (burning) rays and PA rating refers to the protection you get from UVA (aging) rays.

Eborian Korean Skin Therapy CC Cream from Sephora. It is amazing, it color matches to any skin color tone, is SPF 25 and thick enough to use alone as a foundation but gives a translucent look.
