REVIEW: My Oppressively Oily Skin Only Behaves For Base Butter’s Radiate Face Jelly
I’ve lamented time and time again about how oily my skin is in an effort to explain, often to no avail, just how unruly my t-zone gets.
There are times where wiping the oil off of my forehead to apply it to some other dry area on my body could, in fact, be effective — it’s that real.
Enter: Base Butter’s Radiate Face Jelly, the oily skin bandit that has seamlessly solidified itself as my go-to moisturizer.
Through many trials and tribulations, I’ve come to understand that my skin responds somewhat respectfully to gel-based moisturizers. There’s something in the consistency that soothes the oil-producing ninjas that dominate my entire face left unchecked.
The way that I no longer have to worry about a mid-day pat down could be considered revolutionary.
Created by beauty bosses She'Neil Johnson and Nicolette Graves, we like to call this salve an answered prayer, a sign of alignment, an indication that we’re moving in the right direction in life.
And while it saves my face from itself, it’s certainly not reserved for those that suffer from oily skin. The hydrating, aloe-based formula produces a healthy, radiant glow to pretty much everyone I’ve ever seen wear it.
If you’re looking for a simple, effective way to moisturize without weighing your skin down, say no more. The answer is below!
