Hoping somebody who knows their stuff with skincare might see this and take pity on me by helping out.
My forehead and nose are incredibly shiny but NOT oily. Everything I see or read about combatting shiny skin talks about mopping up excess oil but I don't have any to mop up - mattifying products, primer, foundation, powder etc just make my skin flaky .
I have always used a mild foaming cleanser followed by moisturiser which pretty much used to just sit on top of my face. I thought a better skincare routine might help so I've been using Body Shop Vit E cream cleanser, toner, serum and moisturiser in the morning and at night their camomile cleansing oil, toner and overnight serum oil. Now moisturiser seems to soak in well but my skin feels tight. I don't think the products I'm using are particularly drying
Does anybody know of anything I can do or use to help? The super shiny skin I could live with if it was caused by oil which I could just use products to mop up but they just make me horrible and flaky.
