hi,im going away in august and it will be very hot and i have a tendacy to sweat alot was wondering if there is anything i could use to stop the shine on my face as i dont want to look all oily on my face was wondering about blotting paper as i wont be wearing foundation with a tan on my face any suggestions for wipes ?

as a man i am no expert on these things, but might be worth ditching the makeup- is that a possible cause

(clogged pores- no way for heat to escape?)

also drink more water , and wear less clothing..

err, that doesnt sound how i meant - try looser, natural fabrics.

ill not be wearing much makeup its just the heat and humidity just want something to combat the shine

try a hat t shade your face, and carry some tissues/wetwpes..

i guess most people will trying to keep cool too, so dont worry too much - us Brits are expected to go red, in hot places!

How about trying some blotting papers. I know Mac, Clinique and Body Shop do them. Some have added powder to control shine. For the MSE version, try and track down the cheap evil tracing paper toilet roll that you had at school. Blots up oil brilliantly.

I have had these from boots and the body shop - both were very good!

U can get cheap blotting papers from anywhere that do the job. I even read somewhere that blue rizla papers do the same thing too altho never tried it myself

Superdrugs shine control for £1.29 are really good. x

i got some blotting paper off ebay after my skin got REALLY greecy, they were great (and very cheep for lots, they came in from china or japan but postage was still cheep) but changing skin care products solved majority of the problem

Skin clear oil absorbing sheets from boots are great.
They are £3.50 for 50 but are on offer for 2 for £4 at the moment.
I can highly recommend them
