For people with oily skin, blotting papers are a must-have item to always have on hand. These little absorbent sheets can take your complexion from reflective to matte quickly — without ruining your carefully applied makeup.
The handy tools have come a long way since their invention, and now you can find the exact one to fit your preferences and needs. Some sheets contain powder for lasting oil control, while others simply remove the oil that's sitting on your skin. Many have skincare ingredients like tea tree and green tea, and some even come with carrying cases to ensure you'll always have them handy.
