Fixing the shiney (oil shine) spots... (x-post)

I'm just starting to edit my first glamour/fashion/boudoi​r shoot. There are some shots with an oil shine on her t-zone. I have found a really great processing method for the skin but the article talks about clearing up major issues first. Prior to doing the processing. I've tried the processing without fixing the oily/shiney areas and it looks ok. I'm thinking if I can just tone the areas down at least it will look better. Definitely something to remember for next time! I will pack in a few packs of the oil blotting sheets.

What method do you use to remove or tone down oily/shiney spots?

Thx so much

Here's a method I came across the other day whilst trying to sort out a shot of my wife and I: duplicate your image and use the clone tool to sample non-shiny skin and paint it onto the offending areas, then simply reduce the opacity of the layer with the cloning work to around 45-65% [adjust to taste!]. I'm sure there are more sophisticated methods but this is very simple and effective.

Here's a quick before and after to demonstrate:

Did this work for you then Jeni?
