How To Get Rid Of Oily & Shiny Skin
Getting rid of oily skin and shiny T-zone is not an easy thing to do. Everyone who has it, knows what i'm talking about. But there's some good news, so keep reading...
If you have oily or combination skin then it is essential to cleanse your face twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening, use hot water to unclog the pores and cold water to rinse. Always use a mild cleanser. They help prevent clogged pores and reduce pimples. Always use an oil-free moisturizer afterwards. Leaving your skin unmoisturized will only increase oil production.
But there is an upside to all of this - the great advantage of oily skin is that it ages at a slower rate than other skin types. Not too bad, ha? But this is not the good news i was talking about. The good news is that there are products today that can really help in making your skin look matte and reduce the appearance of open pores. The most popular product is the "Clinique Sheer Mattness T-Zone Control". It's a great product for everyday use and i found it to be the most effective.
Here is the full list of products that are known to help control oil production and make the skin look matte and healthy.

How To Prevent An Oily Shiny T-Zone
Before you use any of the products above, you must cleanse your face with products which are suitable for oily skin. Cleansing should be done twice a day, and followed by a moisturizer. You may think that leaving the skin as is after wash is better because it feels clean and dry but in fact it will only make your skin more oily, since the skin feels that it needs to hydrate itself.Learn more on cleansers for oily skin and on moisturizers for oily skin.
Make-up And Foundation For Oily T-zone
Skin Care is the most important thing you can do to help your skin and by that to make it look healthy and shine-free but if you want to wear make-up you need to wear the ones that are suitable for your skin type.Always wear an oil-free foundation. It is lighter and will not cause your pores to clog.
Always clean your face and apply an oil-free face gel or cream before you apply the foundation (gel are water based and therefore are lighter).
For best results powder your T-zone after the foundation. I recommend to always get the lightest shade or the translucent loose powder no matter what your color is, that way the powder will always be invisible.
Professional tip - use a blush brush for the powder, in this way the powder will spread evenly and will create a fresh matte look.
