We Found Custom Skincare Made Just For Melanated Skin & It’s Lit
At this point, I’ve written ad nauseam about my plight with oily skin, how oppressive of a force it’s been in my life, and the products I’ve used to combat it.
The sebum glands on my face (the official name for that oily substance our skin produces) are overachievers. They create a “layer of protection” that I am absolutely sure is excessive and unnecessary to get the job done.
Summertime only heightens the issue so it was definitely time to look at a plan of attack.
What I didn’t know was that my next viable option would come from across the pond.
UK-based brand 4.5.6. Skin swooped in with their custom-made skincare created for melanated skin and I just…I’m thankful.
The line allows you to build your product based on your complexion, skin type (from dry to oily), specific concerns, and even how much fragrance (if any) you’d like.
Read on for my detailed take on the products and head to 4.5.6 Skin today to learn more about their highly-rated solutions for all types of skin.
Green Bae Cleansing Gel
$25 | 4.5.6 Skin
I love a good gel and this one does not disappoint. It was super light, almost milky and after a good rinse, I felt clean but not like my skin had been stripped of all its got.
To Be Clear Exfoliant Mask
$52 | 4.5.6 Skin
Over-exfoliating is a thing but this cell-boosting mask packed with plant extracts and nutrients definitely delivered without harming my skin. The formula gave me a warm tingle as it went on and left my skin feeling clean and smooth.
Day Hack Matte Moisturizer
$55 | 4.5.6 Skin
So, moisturizer is always a big deal for me and I have to be super particular about what I use. This super light option went on smoothly & left me with a matte finish but not dried out. I stan, truly.
