Those of us with oily skin will know how annoying it is to
have a permanent shine of your face throughout the day.
Unlike toilet paper or even tissue, blotting sheets or
blotting papers are made of an extra-absorbent material that usually includes
ingredients like rice, cotton, and even flax seed.
Blotting sheets work by soaking up excess oil on the skin, making
it look and feel more matte.
If you don't want your complexion to be completely
shine-free, you can use the sheets to target specific areas while leaving
others — like your cheeks — still dewy.
Blotting papers won’t disrupt your makeup and are convenient,
making them super-easy for mid-day touch-ups and they're usually pretty inexpensive.
Here is a list of my favorite blotting papers which might
just convince you to add blotting sheets to your routine!
Clean & Clear Oil Absorbing Sheets
These sheets can be used with all skin types and are highly
absorbent — even with a single sheet.
They don't leave behind any powder or
residue and are soft, silky and easy to use all over the face, including around
the nose area and the T-zone.
For $6, you really can't go wrong!

Too Cool for School Dinoplatz Dear Brachiosaurus Green Tea Blotting Papers
I just came across these ones recently and really liked
them.
Besides the adorable packaging, which made me buy them in
the first place, they are highly effective at getting the oil, too.
They come in a variety of different types including mulberry,
charcoal, and green tea, I chose Green tea.
They are made with 100% natural Chinese yam paper and enriched
with green tea to soothe sensitive, acne-prone skin.
These immediately absorb oil, mattify, and soften the skin
while leaving your makeup looking flawless.
What makes this one different from others is they are packaged
in a lightweight plastic carrying case that includes a reusable puff and 5
adhesives for the puff, press and attach puff adhesive onto a fresh sheet of
blotting paper and blot on the skin.
