Add us as a preferred source on Google »As someone with very pale skin, I'm always looking for a tinted SPF that doesn't already add to my Caspar the Friendly Ghost-like complexion.
So many face SPFs leave a heavy white cast on our faces, but I finally found one that not only protects my skin from the sun's harmful rays, but also gives it a natural tint.
The Uniform Tinted Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 by Merit has got to be my best beauty discovery of the year so far.
Buy it here.
This mineral sunscreen comes in a huge range of shades, one even suitable for my pale complexion, which is incredible to see.
This mineral sunscreen provides broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection and a sheer tint that blends in with a light-as-air finish.
It’s a sunscreen so perfect, you’ll actually want to wear it every day.
I don't like to wear a lot of makeup during the day, but the tint this SPF gives is the perfect product to replace foundation, and even concealer if my acne is under control.
The natural tint breathes new life into my skin, all while protecting it from the sun; it's a win-win, really.

If you have pasty pale Irish skin and are worried about sun damage, then this is one SPF you can rely on. It's light-weight and doesn't clog your pores like other SPFs do, which is music to my ears as someone with oily-combination skin.
The buildable formula blends effortlessly into the skin, making it easy to apply in the morning.
It provides a sheer tint with a natural skin finish that’s never greasy or cakey.
100% mineral zinc oxide active provides broad spectrum (UVA/UVB) protection, and fine natural powders to help smooth and blur the look of skin.
This dermatologist-tested mineral SPF is a non-comedogenic, oil-free, and made without silicones.
