Heaven-sent product for less shine all day

Jan 5, 2009 by FN's Trixie Reyna

1064031_beautiful_young_gir.jpgDo you have oily skin? And do you have to keep blotting out those shiny spots with face powder?

You can now say goodbye to oily skin—and to that unsightly, cakey look you get from patting your forehead, nose, and cheeks with powder every hour or so. We’ve found a great product that can help you win the battle against stubborn oil—without drying your skin.

A friend recently recommended Mary Kay Oil Mattifier. I have oily skin, too, and after several retouches on my face powder, my skin gets weighed down by the accumulated gunk on my face—which does not look pretty, either in person or in photos. This product is heaven-sent for women with an endless battle against shine, since it effectively absorbs oil and helps control shine for hours—no kidding. So far, this is the most effective oil control product I’ve tried.

products_images_oilmattifie.jpgI just apply it every morning over my moisturizer and foundation on shine-prone areas (forehead, nose, cheeks), and I’m shine-free until the afternoon. I only reapply it when I have a long day or when I have another function to attend in the evening. But you can reapply the product whenever necessary and it doesn’t feel heavy on your skin at all because of its lightweight formula. It gives this natural, matte finish that makes me look fresh all day—totally eliminating the need to retouch with face powder.

What’s more, it did not dry my skin the way other oil control products did. It is fragrance-free and non-comedogenic, and my sensitive skin did not develop any sort of allergic reaction to it.

A 17mL tube of Mary Kay Oil Mattifier would cost you P585, but it would definitely last a long time, since you only need to apply a very small amount for it to work.
 
To purchase Mary Kay Oil Mattifier and other products, you may contact one of their beauty consultants, Angelita Urbiztondo, through 0928-339-1523 or visit their offices at La Fuerza Building, Pasong Tamo, Makati (2:30PM) or Casa Rafael, Quezon Avenue, Quezon City.
