Shiny face does not sound nor does it look appealing in any way. It's so uncomfortable and makes you self-conscious that you will have the urge to wash your face every time you feel that your face is getting too oily already.
There are a number of different products that can help you control that shine on your face, from facial cleansers to oil blotting films to makeup products. If you have really oily skin, you are probably using products that are all formulated for your skin type, this is advisable to get the most out of the products that you are using.
But what happens after you take a shower and done with using your beauty products like facial cleanser, toner and moisturizer and you are about to go out for work, day out in the mall, night out with friends or attend a special occasion? Surely, you can't just wash your face every moment you feel that oiliness coming out. What you can do is use an oil-blotting film and follow it on with an oil blotting powder.

Ladies already usually use facial powder even on ordinary days, shiny face or not. But if you are one of those who actually do have that skin type then you would need a much more "special" product to use.
