Just like greasy foods need paper towels to soak up that excess oil, our faces need papers to soak up the oil we don’t want on our skin.
That’s why I stock up on NYX Blotting Papers.
I was in love with The Body Shop Blotting Papers for ages, but at the time it was $10 for 2 packs of papers. As my Scrooge McDuck vault diminished, I started to look for a cheaper version. I settled on NYX’s cute paper envelope filled with thin sheets perfect for wiping up oil.
I pay about $3 for these at Cherry Culture. When there’s a sale going on, I tend to get a little out of hand. I try to get at least 6 packs.
What? I’m an oily chick!
How you guys handle your oily faces?


I personally use the Clean & Clear blotting sheets. I tried the Sephora ones, but they were not removing the oil as well and it was also moving my makeup around… They did smell nice, though! I’m so sad that C&C discontinued the green blotting sheets that had a really lovely scent.
I fondly recall the C&C sheets I used when I was in high school.
