How can i fix a shiny face that isn't oily?

Question

after i wash my face, my nose especially is extremely shiny. it's not oil thats making it shiny either. i have really clear skin so pimples aren't really a problem. any ideas or advice on how to get it not shiny?

by the way, i already use TruBlend powder on my nose so it looks matte. it just rubs off easily and i have to reapply it a lot.

Answer 1

Go to your local beauty supply store and purchase a rubber sponge(the can be black or red and are very inexpensive, like $1+) and use this to remove the shine through out the day

Answer 2

Try Deep Clean Invigorating Shine-Free Cleanser by Neutrogena; even though you've stated that you have really good/clean skin and that its not oily. Still I have the same problem and no make with out applying globs of it has stop the shine but this reduce it to be un-noticeable before the make-up. Then put the tthinnest layer of foundation in your skin color on the shiny area and then after five seconds apply the TruBlend it will last longer with out having to reapply every minute.
