Shiny Skin

Products to mattify shiny skin

Shiny skin is a common skincare issue for men, often caused by an overproduction of oil, leading to a greasy appearance, clogged pores, and breakouts. A targeted skincare routine can help reduce shine, leaving the skin mattified, balanced and refreshed.

A comprehensive cleansing regime is essential in managing shiny skin. Throughout the day, your skin collects dirt, oil, and impurities that can accumulate and cause your face to appear shiny and greasy. Cleansing twice daily with a gentle, mattifying cleanser helps to remove excess oil and unclog blocked pores.

Look for products with ingredients like salicylic acid, which exfoliates and reduces oil build-up, or activated charcoal, known for its deep-cleaning and oil-absorbing properties.

While it might seem counterintuitive, keeping the skin hydrated is crucial in controlling shine. When skin becomes too dry it compensates by producing even more oil, which can worsen the shiny appearance. A lightweight, oil-free moisturiser will hydrate the skin without clogging pores or adding excess shine.

Opt for products labeled non-comedogenic to ensure that they won’t clog your pores, contribute to breakouts or leave a greasy residue. Using additional products like oil-control toners or mattifying treatments can also help manage shine throughout the day. These products work to absorb excess oil and create a more balanced complexion.

With the right approach, men can effectively manage shiny skin, achieving a fresh, matte finish that lasts all day.

Explore our range of shine controlling products to help keep your skin looking its best.
