I don't know that this has been discussed, but I couldn't find it after searching long and hard. Maybe I'm derpy. Anyway, I finally figured out what to do, so here it is in case anyone else is suffering from the same problem.
I have a Logitech C910, and no matter what I did with it I had shiny face. My body even looked alien-like because I'm very light skinned (think Casper). I moved my lighting in every direction imaginable, finally settling on one table lamp behind my cam, one on my left, and a large floor lamp off to the right. If any of you are using cheaper lighting such as a floor lamp, and are also suffering from shiny face (especially forehead), try turning your floor lamp's shining direction away from you. At the ceiling, a wall, whatever. It will darken everything on cam slightly, but only slightly, and of course you can fix that in your cam settings and brighten things a bit. But yeah, no more shiny forehead or alien skin! Well, unless you want alien skin. I know that has to be a fetish.
Anyway, hope this helped someone. After days of struggling with lighting I'm incredibly happy.
