What is the best way to fix a shiny face in Lightroom?

Burn the area?

Suggestions welcome! Thanks!

If it has shine you might be able to reduce the highlight end of the histogram.... try it and see. Post an example

Bring the highlights slider way down and maybe adjust the white slider as well.

Here is the photo. I'd also love some feedback on the image itself. This is going to printed in a professional journal. Thanks!!

I used the healing brush ... needs a little more work but you can get the idea..... histogram will not work for spots

Healing brush to burn?

What other edits would you recommend? I took out a lot of red from the original image, and was pretty happy with it as is, except for the shiny spots...

Select an exposure brush and set the slider ever so slightly to the minus side and go over the problem areas. This will work great if it is done slowly and with moderation. Hope this helps.
