How to control oily skin

If you have very oily skin, there's a great product that M.A.C makes that will help you out. It's called "Matte" and it’s basically a colorless gel that comes in a clear 25ml tube. After you've cleansed, toned and moisturized you're skin, you use your fingers or a fresh sponge to apply a bit of this product on the areas that tend to go shiny such as your forehead, nose, chin and cheeks. You can even use it on your eyelids to help increase the longevity of your eye shadow. It’s best to wait about 2 minutes to let your skin absorb the smooth gel, then go ahead and apply your foundation and/or powder. Otherwise you can also use it on your bare skin if you don’t use makeup. Your face will stay shine free for hours. For so long I was always hesitant about trying anti-shine agents. I guess I just didn’t believe they would work, until I eventually tried it. I’ve used many different brands and I found that the M.A.C Matte works the best... it just really controls my oily t-zone. I also use it on clients all the time and they’re always satisfied with the end results... this stuff really works!
