Cheap Alternative

Hey everyone!

The other day I noticed I was running low on blotting papers (I know I have sensitive skin, but my tzone is terribly shiny by mid day). I didn’t want to waste $3 on maybe 50 blotting sheets? Yeah, not worth it. What I ended up doing was seperating 2ply tissue and blotting my face with that, which did work, but unlike blotting papers, I couldn’t see the oil that was absorbed. My friend suggested a different way: tissue paper (as in gift wrap stuff). So i had some leftover in the basement from Christmas, and I cut a little bit and tried it. Let me tell you, it really works! The texture is just different from the blotting papers, but it works the same way! You can see where the oil has been absorbed. In addition, it’s super cheap as well. $1 for maybe a years supply, rather than $3 for maybe 2 months supply? I’m sold! Just make sure to buy WHITE tissue paper so it won’t leave any color. 

All you gotta do is find a container or something to hold the blotting papers, cut them to the appropriate size, and then carry it on the go! Super cheap, and it works in the same way!

Hope someone finds this useful!
