Tinted moisturisers for the Summer ... any recommendations?

[bizzylizzy]

Hi
Can anyone recommend a tinted moisturiser that will give my fair skin a healthy slightly tanned look for the summer.
I've got pale skin and can't spend too much time in the sun. I've been using a tinted moisuriser from Estee Lauder called Fresh Air which isn't bad, but I've run out and fancy a change. Can anybody recommend anything that will protect my skin and make me look less like I've spent the last six months in a dark room? Thank you.

I've got a feeling Clinque do one with an SPF, never used it though...years ago I got a Nivea tinted mosituriser and really liked that...

I use the clarins one and find it a natural colour, great moisturiser and it keeps my make up on!

My wife uses Johnsons "holiday skin body lotion" from Boots, and I have to say the effect is remarkable, she has very pale skin, and this stuff gives her a very natural looking golden look, its great!

i dont think the johnsons holiday skin should be used on the face though.

 

A few people have had allergic reactions to it

Thats a good point chazza, the bottle doesnt actually say you can use it on your face, doesnt say you cant either mind you.....!

Hi Impret-sir (to give you your full title.lol) does your wife use the light or medium tan lotion? I've just checked the boots website and noticed they do both.

I use Boots No 7 Illuminating Tinted Moisturiser as a result of reading a good review where it scored very highly.  I use this in the summer instead of foundation.

It's got SPF15 and comes in two shades.  Funnily enough, although I have a palish complexion, it was the darker shade (Medium) which suited me better but the sales assistant should be able to advise you.

Oh, and it's not too expensive either!

Cook, just checked the bottel, all it sayes is that it is "for normal to fair skin", I asked her about putting it on her face, and she said she wouldnt, "but only because she wouldnt want that smell under her nose", so there!
