There are so many of us who do not like a full coverage base on regular days. The trouble with a full coverage foundation is that it looks a bit off unless you pair it with a lipstick, blush and contour to balance it out. Also, a lot of people find foundations quite heavy and difficult to wear all day long, especially in a hot and humid climate. The Just Herbs Skin Tint is a light-weight, sheer coverage skin tint that is the perfect trade-off between a moisturizer and a foundation. Here is why this product is a blessing for the days when you want a “My skin but better” look.
The Packaging
As I mentioned in my previous blog post on the Just Herbs SilkSplash Face Wash, I am completely in love with the aesthetic packaging of all the products from Just Herbs. The Just Herbs Skin Tint Comes in gorgeous pale pink cardboard box with a botanical print on it. The bottle inside is a plastic one with a similar pale pink label and a golden pump. The packaging is pretty sturdy and leakproof and looks extremely classy. If you are a fan of elegant packaging then this one will be right up your alley.
The Formula of the Just Herbs Skin Tint
The Just Herbs Skin Tint is essentially a tinted moisturiser that combines the benefits of skincare with a light coverage. The formula contains a bunch of natural ingredients that are known to hydrate and soothe the skin, such as Centella, jojoba oil, aloe vera, and avocado oil. It also contains a number of Ayurvedic herbs that are associated with skin brightening and anti-aging. The product also contains SPF 30 and offers broad-spectrum UV protection.
The formula has a creamy consistency that spreads easily on the skin and blends quite effortlessly with fingers. It provides a light coverage and offers a dewy sheen to the face. Oily skinned people may have to use a compact powder on top for a less shiny finish. The formula feels quite hydrating on the skin and unless you have very dry skin, you can skip using a moisturizer when you are wearing the Just Herbs Skin Tint. This will also work well as a glowy primer in case you wish to add heavier base makeup on top. The scent of the tint is quite earthy and may bother those with a sensitive nose. I recommend spritzing some rose water on top to negate the strong herbal smell of the formula if it bothers you.

The Shade Range
I picked the shade Beige_3 out of the 5 shade options and it is half a shade lighter than my NC35 skin tone. This doesn’t matter much though because it provides a light coverage that blends to suit my skin tone.
My Verdict On The Just Herbs Skin Tint
Overall, the Just Herbs Skin Tint is an excellent all-in-one product for the ladies who do not like to wear heavy base makeup on a daily basis. It evens out the skin tone and blurs small blemishes while hydrating the skin and providing some sun protection too. It also adds a nice glow to the skin and is a great everyday base for college-going girls and working women. You can even use concealer on top of this product to hide your blemishes if you want. At INR 1295 for a 40ml bottle, the price of this skin tint is slightly up there, but it works as both a moisturizer and a base, which makes it budget-friendly. So, if you are someone who does not like heavy foundations but wants a little coverage for when you step out, do try the Just Herbs Skin Tint.

This sounds perfect for me! I love the aesthetic too!
I would love to buy this but my concern is spf 30 which is usually not recommended while going out in sun. I’ll be more than glad if Just Herbs comes with a higher spf recommended by dermatologists.
You can always use another suncreen underneath it if you are stepping out 🙂
