How do I get my forehead to stop being so shiny?

[Anonymous]

I have dry skin first, so it’s not because it’s oily. My skin typically is shiny and dewy but my forehead is too shiny. How do I get rid of the shininess?

by the way that isn’t my forehead

This isn’t my forehead guys😂 I was just showing you an example, though honestly i should’ve just put my own forehead since in the picture the person appears to have oily skin and i have dry skin

If it is oily you can use blotting paper which soaks it really well, but I have a feeling this is just your skin type. Because your skin is darker and forehead skin is quite thin it’s tight and can look shiny compared to say your lower cheeks. Kind of like how blonde hair doesn’t really look “shiny” because the light can’t refract off it?
If it’s not oil then I think powder - even a loose translucent powder is going to be your best bet. It won’t look like make up, it’ll just tone down the light bouncing off

Ok thank you, yes, my skin is dry.

Okay... Makeup powder is always a good choice to cover it up. Also baby powder can help too.
And you should try use some lemon, i read it dries your skin a little bit...

[Asker]

Ok, thank you, but the thing is I don’t wear makeup, and my skin is already dry. I have considered wearing just powder but I want to see if there’s a way to fix it permanently.

[MaryAnn210]

Uhh i dont know about that... And honestly i wouldn't trust what people in this app tell u. You should see a profesional or maybe go to an spa..

[Asker]

Ok, thank you

[MaryAnn210]

Sure! Anytime

USE CLEANA ND CLEAR OIL BLOTTING SHEETS FROM LIKE CVS OR WALGREEN... this always helps and then maybe carry a banana powder

make your mind up is your skin dry or oily or both then l can then tell you what to do other wise l can't help you

[Asker]

Omg i said it’s dry

[BOUNTYGUY9]

[Liya0078]

Try "oil control film". It's cheep and it helps me with my shiny nose

[Liya0078]

sorry I read it again... You can use powder.

[lomimore]

Use johnson baby powder or don't use any lotion at all.

Wipe the sweat off with a towl

[Asker]

I rarely sweat that much to make it shiny

[KatsDad]

Sleep
It looks like you haven't been sleeping

[Asker]

Lol, true

[Foreverdark]

I would personally wear a hat.

[AdmiralBailey]

It can't be fixed. You have African ad-mixture

[Asker]

Really? I can’t do anything about it?😨

[AdmiralBailey]

Nope. blame Africa

Do you exfoliate?

[Asker]

Yes, about weekly

[Penelope_]

Hm try using a face mask for oily skin and if you’re from the UK the body shop has some amazing stuff for oily skin

[Asker]

I don’t have oily skin, my skin is dry😅

[Penelope_]

I think you might have combination skin

[Asker]

Hm, maybe since my parents have oily skin (though my skin has always been dry) and by the way, this is not me in the picture, it’s just an example even though the person’s skin looks oily.

[Penelope_]

Is your nose oily? And haha I know I read your question properly unlike some people haha

[GoldCobra]

Use soap
