Reviewing holiday photos is pure joy—until you spot that excessive shine on your face. The duo of humid summer evenings and heavy after-sun lotion often spells trouble.
What Causes Facial Shine?
High temperatures trigger sweat in unexpected areas while boosting sebum production. This sweat-sebum mix is the main culprit behind a shiny complexion.
Proven Ways to Prevent Shine
You can't dodge heat on vacation (or even in the Netherlands sometimes), but smart choices help. Switch to lightweight, non-greasy day creams in summer and pick oil-free after-sun products. Keep makeup minimal and seal with mattifying powder.

Essentials to Keep Handy
Stay snapshot-ready with oil-blotting sheets for quick oil absorption. Reapply powder as needed for lasting matte results.
