Shiney happy people

[merock]

So I was doing this photoshoot, outside, and I got this shot of this one lady that looks good, except she's just aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa bit shiney/sweaty. Any post processing tips on this? I tried burning some of it in, and I tried a noise filter to see if it would smooth it out some. The burning worked a weeee bit, but shes still shiney...... and happy..... and people. help please.

Use the eyedropper to pick a good skin tone. Set your paintbrush at 10-20 percent opacity and lightly paint over the shiny spots. Doesn't get rid of them, but takes the edge of and softens the skin.

Try the clone stamp in darken mode, sampled from nearby "non-shiny" skintone, low opacity (about 20-30%) and gradually brush in. Sometimes this works extremely well, but if the shiny area is too large you may find getting truly seamless results difficult.

Healing brush also works well sometimes, again just sample from a non-shiny area.
