The reality star revealed in a video with Amazon Live the reasons why this product, from a brand that she adores, is a makeup bag must-have.

“So, this is their tinted sunblock that I use as a foundation because I don’t want to wear a foundation every day,” she says. “But it just evens out your skin tone, and it’s not too heavy." 

According to those in the know, including our team of beauty experts, utilizing the best facial sunscreens every morning with your various lotions and potions is one of the best skincare combinations

As this product includes sun protection, it means you can skip a step in your morning routine, and its broad color range provides an option for everyone.

Kyle is a native of LA, so sun protection is extra important and the skin-savvy star is a big fan of spray tans for getting her sun-kissed California girl look. Her approval indicates that those of us who like a spray tan, or go for the best gradual tan body lotions or even the best instant tan better listen up.

"It comes in many colors. I use a few different colors if I have a spray tan, if I don’t have a spray tan, if it’s winter, if it’s summer. It’s beautiful," says Kyle. "It just has a beautiful glow to it, and it covers just enough without making it feel like you have too much makeup on. So, I absolutely love that and I love their products.”

Recently, Kyle spoke out after allegations that she was using Ozempic for weight loss hit the headlines.

"A lot of people think I’ve been taking Ozempic," she said, on Two Ts In A Pod, a podcast hosted by former housewives Teddi Mellencamp and Tamra Judge. "To clarify I've never taken Ozempic."

Kyle credits her recent body transformation to cutting out sugar, carbs, and alcohol - as well as spending two hours a day working out.

She did, however, admit to having some plastic surgery too. “I had a breast reduction. I wanted a tummy tuck because of the skin from having four babies, the excess skin,” she revealed. “Because no matter how much you workout, you always will have that skin, if it’s not taken away.”
