Skin tints for dry skin

[maavv]

Hi!! Do you guys have any recommendations for skin tints/cc creams that are good for dry skin and leave a dewy or natural finish?

Hi @maavv ! All my suggestions contain sunscreen ingredients, but I still wear a separate sunscreen beneath them. If I didn't, I'd have to apply a lot of the tinted moisturizer/skin tint product to get adequate sun protection, and then I'd lose the sheer to medium coverage I like. For reference, I have mostly-dry combo skin. 

Saie Slip Tint – Lightweight Tinted Moisturizer with Mineral Zinc SPF 35 and Hyaluronic Acid  - mineral sunscreen. I just started testing this. It gives me a dewy glow (but not "glass skin" super dewy) and provides the sheer coverage I like. Someday I'll try it as a solo sunscreen, to see how it looks when applied as heavily as needed for good sun protection. Contains coconut extract, so avoid if your skin's sensitive to coconut. 

Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer Natural Skin Perfector - chemical sunscreen; contains oxybenzone (in addition to other sun blockers), so avoid this product if you're sensitive to that UV blocker. I've used this for a couple years with no issues. Gives me a natural radiant finish. 

EM Cosmetics Daydream Cushion Tinted SPF - hybrid (chemical + mineral) sunscreen. Gives me a natural radiant finish. Comes in a compact with a puff, and you also get a refill cushion. Available direct from EM Cosmetics; take note of their refund policy before buying. (They charge a restocking fee.) 

Lancôme SKIN FEELS GOOD Skin Nourishing Foundation - chemical sunscreen. I used to love this product and the natural finish it gave me. Had to stop using it because my skin became sensitive to the rose flower extract it contains. If your skin's not sensitive to that and other fragrance ingredients, you might like this product. It's called "foundation" but it's more of a skin tint: it can be applied sheer and built up to medium coverage. Looks like Lancome's expanded the shade range a bit since I last bought it. 

Bonus, though not quite a skin tint/cc cream: I've also tried Saie Sunvisor Radiant Moisturizing Face Sunscreen SPF 35 1.35 oz/ 40 mL  , a mineral sunscreen with a universal tint. This one I do use as a solo sunscreen, and I like it a lot. Gives me the same dewy glow as Saie's Slip Tint, but I can apply plenty of Sunvisor without worrying about too much tint or white/grey/purple cast on my face. This sunscreen's tint works well on my deeper skin tone, and I get just a slight amount of pilling. (Most mineral sunscreens pill on me to some degree; some far more than others.)

The NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer  has been a go to for me for years now @maavv .  It's got a natural finish, lighter coverage, but still evens out my skin tone.  They just expanded the shade range again so it's even easier now to find a good shade match.  My skin is beyond dry most days (add in wearing a cloth mask and it's just getting worse) and the Nars is one that wears well consistently.
