Oil sheets, also known as blotting papers, are used to absorb excess oil from your face. Instead of wiping, which can disrupt makeup, you should gently dab the sheet on oily areas.
How to Correctly Use Oil Sheets
Here's a step-by-step guide on using oil sheets effectively:
-
Identify Oily Areas: Focus on areas that tend to get oily, such as your:
- Nose
- Forehead
- Chin
-
Gentle Dabbing: Instead of wiping, which can smudge your makeup, use the oil sheet by gently pressing or dabbing it onto the oily parts of your face.
- Avoid any rubbing or wiping motion.
-
Replace as Needed: Use a fresh sheet if the previous one becomes saturated, ensuring optimal oil absorption.
Why Dabbing is Important
The reference video (![Part of a video titled How-to: use blotting papers - YouTube]) stresses the importance of dabbing rather than wiping because:
- Prevents Makeup Smudging: Wiping can easily smear or remove your makeup, whereas dabbing keeps it intact.
- Effective Oil Absorption: Dabbing allows the sheet to absorb the oil effectively without disturbing the products on your face.
Benefits of Using Oil Sheets
- Instant Mattifying Effect: Oil sheets quickly reduce shine, giving your skin a matte appearance.
- On-the-Go Solution: They are compact and convenient, perfect for carrying in your purse or pocket for quick touch-ups.
- Gentle on Skin: When used correctly, they are gentle and won't cause irritation or breakouts.
