After months of travelling, I can confirm these 6 simple steps eradicated any skin shininess but kept my glow

Anti-shine products.

At the beginning of April, I left the UK to embark upon some travels for the summer. I started in two ultra-hot, humid destinations: Sri Lanka and Singapore. As a glow-loving gal in her thirties, I was not ultra-concerned about how being in this kind of heat would impact my skin. In fact, I was looking forward to some extra radiance. But being there made me realise there is a serious difference between glow and greasy shine. And I was experiencing a hell of a lot of the latter. 

Luckily, through trial and tribulation, I learnt how to manage this so I could avoid shine but still look dewy and healthy. All it took was a few skincare routine tweaks (my go-to anti-shine products really came into their own) and extra hacks, all of which I've shared with you below. So if you're heading on a hot holiday (or are just crossing your fingers for some good old UK sunshine), you might want to take a look at these first.
