For anyone with oily skin, blotting paper is a game-changer. Whether it's a hot summer day or a long workday, keeping your makeup fresh while managing oil can be challenging. This guide teaches you how to use blotting paper effectively while protecting your makeup.

Understanding Blotting Paper

Blotting paper is a highly absorbent paper designed to soak up excess oil without disturbing your makeup. Unlike tissues, PleasingCare's blotting papers are specifically designed to absorb oil without lifting your carefully applied makeup.

Step-by-Step Guide

1 Start with Clean Hands

Before reaching for a blotting sheet, ensure your hands are clean to avoid transferring dirt or bacteria onto your face.

2 Select Your Blotting Paper

Choose a blotting paper that suits your skin. PleasingCare offers options infused with green tea for soothing properties.

3 Blot, Don't Rub

The key rule: Blot, don't rub. Gently press the paper against oily areas and hold for a few seconds. Let the paper do the work.

4 Move to Different Areas

Avoid dragging the paper. Move to different spots once you've absorbed oil from one area.

5 Dispose Properly

Dispose of used sheets immediately to prevent contamination and bacterial growth.
