Shiny Forehead/Scalp

[compaqpresariopc]

my hairline has receded and I was wondering what works best for shiny temple/scalp area ? Is there a cream or powder that removes the shine ?

compaq,

 

That's a very interesting question and one I don't think I've ever heard before.

 

I have absolutely no idea - but perhaps we can do some searches on google for thing like: "Shine Busters" or "Balding Blinders"

 

Of course, I'm being facetious about the terms, but I do wonder if there is a product for something like that.

I have oily skin and when I'm photographed sometimes the skin really shines. I was told about a product that Clinique for Men makes that reduces shine. I tried it and it really works. I don't use it all the time but if I've got an important event where I know photos will be taken I use it. It gives the skin a matte' kind of appearance. It will reduce the shiny look. I assume it would work for your situation too. It isn't sticky, gooey or oily I think it is water based and it just kind of blends right into the skin. Hope this helps.

You may want to try Lancome Pure Focus T-Zone Powder Gel. I suspect other companies make similar products.

Being shiny is not all bad. As a facial plastic surgeon who is also a shiny forehead guy, I can tell you that oily skin wrinkles with age more slowly than dry skin. So all those acne problems as a teenager did payoff eventually.
