My dome is naturally shiny, but I do use a sunscreen everyday. I find that when first applied they are EXTREMELY greasy at the spf level I need and want, 50-70. So, I let them sit for about 20-30 minutes while I eat breakfast, etc., then before I put on my t shirt, dress shirt & tie, I literally buff the noggin down with the t shirt getting rid of the excess sunscreen, shine is really high, the rub feels good. And I know I'm protected from the sun. For a blinding skull, accept the slippery feel and don't buff it off-shine will blind.
