In Person: Forehead shine preventer for guys

Jack Black All Day Oil-control Lotion – $26.00

Some of us have a problem.  And that problem is after an eight hour work day, we’ll often look like we’ve spent every waking moment face down in a bucket of KFC.  A signal mirror for a forehead doesn’t look the best.  And there’s not a ton of products out there made for men that actually keep that shine off your face.

Jack Black’s Oil-control Lotion actually seems to.  Here’s some proof:

Without the oil-control lotion, after a standard work day.

With the oil-control lotion, after a standard work day.

Same room, same lighting, and no camera tricks.  I applied this stuff just once in the morning.  It soaks in pretty quick and develops a dry feel to it once it gets in your skin.  Doesn’t smell like much, which is great.  Is $26 a hefty price tag for 3.3 oz of anything?  Yeah, but you only need about a dime sized amount to cover your forehead and nose.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to schedule an appointment for a haircut.  Got a little shaggy apparently.

Have you had any success with other face-grease-prevention products?  Leave those below…

    Could you do a cheek, eye, and lip balm review?

    I’m compiling a composite image.

    Old school oxy wipes (or any other brand for that matter). Quick and easy to use for mid/late afternoon oil control

    I wonder if this would help take the sheen off the back of my head…

    Hot water on skin opens pores, followed by a basic (as in PH) solution (soap) and you are removing massive amounts of natural oils that your skin produces to maintain itself.  No wonder most people find this daily regimen produces dry skin and treat it with lotions.  Why remove natural oil only to replace with manufactured and petroleum based oils?  The over-oily forehead is likely the result of your skin frantically trying to restore its natural state.

    Have the ORIGINS oil control lotion and it smells terrible to me. Not bad in the bottle, but hate how it smells when I use it.

    Toilet seat covers work great as oil blotters.

    I honestly believe the over-oily forehead is more often than not the result of reading the comments section.

    Excellent.

    Those oil blotting sheets in the face section at Target or the drug store work great for getting the oil off the skin.

    But they don’t have the sex appeal of taking a toilet seat cover out of your pocket, and mopping your face with it at the restaurant.

    I love this idea.

    I tend to get a healthy dose of forehead grease by the day’s end.  I have a pretty oily complexion.  I have used this product before and I found the moisturizer to be for lack of a better word “chalky?”  I just had an odd texture to it.  I noticed this is a new and improved formula so perhaps its better now.

    I have had reasonable success with Lab Series products and that is what I am currently using.  I find it to work better than the Jack Black and Clinique line of products.

    This is what I do if I don’t just wash my face after I get off work.

    is browbeating more attractive and career boosting than toilet seat covers?

  15. Brian says

    way to mix in an alternative suggestion, unless you’re implying that “not washing your face” is the way to go, in which case I’m all set, thanks.

    I ordered and tried this stuff,  it’s certified awesome.

    Kiehl’s Rare Earth Pore Minimizing Lotion does wonders for grease and pores. Of course, it’s pretty pricey. $29 for 2.4 fl. oz.

    Honestly, one of the biggest things I have noticed to help keep skin clear and oil-free (on top of washing your face, obviously) is staying HYDRATED. Drink water, gents. It’s crucial not only for your appearance, but your performance and focus as well.

    Ha! You crack me up dude.
