How to keep skin matte?

[ChocolatePHD]

I have very oily skin that's also very sensitive. I don't really want to wear foundation and powder anymore, so what can I use to stop the oil slick?

Blotting papers! Boots sell them or get them cheaper on amazon.

Benefit Porefessional is a tinted primer that keeps the skin matte and you only need a little bit.
Revlon also do a clear matte primer which is very good (and cheaper than benefit).

Ughhh I have this problem. On work days I do my usual cleanse and moisturise routine, once the moisturiser has absorbed I apply No. 7 primer which is not amazing (or at least not a magic wand lol) but far better than nothing. Then once that has absorbed I apply No.7 pressed powder. I know you said you don't want to wear powder and I get that as I can't be bothered with foundation on work days but the powder really does help with oil. I reapply with the puff once or twice later at work too a little. Also use blotting papers once or twice a day, get them from Boots or Superdrug but I find the Boots ones to be better. Then remove makeup and cleanse well before bed.

I use Mally Pore Defender from QVC. It's a big block of silicone-ey stuff you tap on with a sponge. Tarte primer also v. good. Diorskin Crustations Nude not bad either, I had it in 001 (invisible) but you can get other shades I think.

CRYSTAL, not crustations!

Benefit primer, or the No 7 one just don't work for me. This is currently doing the job: www.paulaschoice.co.uk/shine-stopper-instant-matte-finish-with-microsponge-technology-m3600.html You can dab it on over make up during the day as well.

Johnsons used to do really really good blotting paper that was dark blue plasticy stuff - oh I miss that

I'd love a shine on my dry skin .
