Silk Oil Blotting Paper ($1.50 for 100 sheets)
My Thoughts:
First off, you can find the Silk Oil Blotting Paper at Daiso (a Japanese store). My favorite thing about these blotting papers, besides the pink color, is that it’s huge! It’s probably the biggest blotting paper/sheet I have ever used. It measures about 3.5 inches (7.5 cm) all around. When the blotting paper absorbs the oil, it changes from a light pink color to an even lighter pink, whitish transparent color. It’s a bit difficult to see the color change, but it’s noticeable. I love how easily the paper dispenses from the packaging. It dispenses like tissue from a tissue box. You just pull on the top sheet and next sheet peeks out ready for use. The paper is soft and doesn’t scratch your face. It doesn’t ruin or remove your makeup or leave back any residue. It does a great job of absorbing all the oil off of my face. Because of large size of the paper, I only need to use 1 paper. Even though the Silk Oil Blotting Paper is great, I do have a few complaints. The first is the paper tears when too much oil is absorbed. I think the paper tears easily when oil is absorbed because the paper is on the thin side. Second, the flap pops open because the slot where the tab slides in to close the flap gets worn out. Even with these complaints, I will still continue to purchase the blotting paper because you get more bang for the buck compared to other brands.

do you guys finally have a daiso in socal now or this was the one I sent you? I keep it mostly at home next to my makeup station to soak up oil before I apply makeup, because of its somewhat fragile packaging, and use the clean and clear ones for outside.
It’s the one you sent me
still no daiso here
Audrey, that last photo was a bit too… graphic… for me!
I should have mentioned that’s not the oil from my face. its actually cooking oil. Haha my face wasn’t greasy at the time and I needed oil to demonstrate the absorbance so I dipped my finger in oil and wiped it in the paper. Haha
Phew! Thank you for ~clarifying~ that!

Hahaha thank goodness it wasn´t your face:) I have this oily area, forehead and nose, but only on summertime and I didn´t know such product existed, it sounds pretty effective.

its a great quick fix
Do you find that blotting papers are mostly the same in terms of how well they blot out oil? I’ve actually never tried a blotting paper before but I could *definitely* use some in my makeup bag!

i haven’t tried that many, but from the ones I have tried they all pretty much work the same.
In the past I’ve seen some that include powder. I’d avoid those unless you are the color of the powder.
