What would you suggest for a man who has a shiney head to reduce it? I have too many flaws to put up with another one. :rolleyes:

You could lightly powder it with pressed powder from the cosmetics department or you could put lotion on it which tends to get rid of the high shine look.

Any other ideas on this topic?

EDC, are you familiar with the Peter Thomas Roth line of skincare ? For both men and women, no fufu packaging nice products. He has a mattifier to reduce shine on the face, maybe this would work for you? The biggest negative is the expense.
For a less expensive solution, silk powder may also work. It's what I use to reduce shines left on my face after applying sunblock. It goes on like a white powder but quickly disappears as it balances itself to your skin type. Good stuff!

I haven't heard of those products, however I will give them a try. First, I'll try the cheap option. :) Where do you purchase silk powder?
Thanks for your help!

EDC, I buy my mineral makeup from a company named Every Day Minerals. If you search on the internet, you'll find it. 100% silk dust only costs $12 USD. Do you have a badger brush or something like that you use to shave? If so, your badger brush may be good enough to apply the silk dust. If not, you may want to spring for one of their kabuki brushes. $14 USD. It's short, lots of soft bristles and is the best way to distribute silk dust OR mineral makeup hands down.
Good luck and let me know how this works!

Thank you, Athena, I will. As for the brush, I have a Japanese caligraphy brush that I've used to apply powders. The bristles are very soft. Thanks for the help! :)

I tried the Everyday Minerals pure silk powder and it didn't work. Unless I want visible powder on my face (which, of course, reduces shine), when the powder is blended in, there is still a shine on my head. I wonder if this powder just won't work on tight skin, such as on the top of the head. :confused:
Well, I have a large, barely used Silk Powder that won't do the job for me. :(
What else is out there for my shiney head? :rolleyes:

I have a similar problem and the one thing I have found to work is this red sponge they sell in the makeup aisle of almost any drug store. I bought mine at walmart for $2-3. Im sorry but I don't know the name of it. It is a flat circular sponge that is about 3 inches wides and very porous. I use it to wipe my forehead every few hours and it really reduces the shine. Best part is that you can wash it with soap and water and reuse it for a least a few months. Hope that helps

I work on a lot of movie set in my area and they wrap a Kleenex or the seat covers,(the kind you find in public restrooms) around one of those big powder buffs that you use to apply powder to your body. You can't very well carry a box of Kleenex and a huge powder puff around in your purse every day.
When I visit a restroom while out I just fold up a coupld of seat covers and put them in my purse go home cut them into little sections. I have an empty compact that use to hold powder that I put them in. When I need a little shine removed I just take one out and use it. If I need powder after I can add but just taking the oil off is usually all I need.

I bought those oil absorbing strips and they do sop up the oil very well. But guys with balding heads are just. . . . shiney, even after the oil is gone. Any Hollywood tricks to take care of this on men who have this problem?

Hi EDC..
I used to have a problem with a shiny forhead due to excess oil and I found two solutions and now have the problem completely under control! First off, are you using a deep cleansing face wash on a daily basis? I was using something like that and it was stripping all the moisture from my skin and thus my skin produced excess moisture. Once I started using a very mild facial cleanser like Purpose face wash the oil production started to decrease. In addition, I found this amazing Lancome product called Pure Focus T-Zone Mattifier. I put it on after using a light moisturizer and before I put on my makeup. I know you're a male but give it a try!
Hope this helps! :)
