Saving Money on Facial Oil Blotters

April 1, 2008

A woman looking in a bathroom mirror.Unfortunately, at the age of 24, I still struggle with breakout-prone, oily skin in the "T-zone." I have always really liked using those blue Clean and Clear oil blotting sheets during the day to remove excess oil from my face without piling on more makeup. However, those sheets are really expensive, up to $6 for a pack of 50!

A great, cheap alternative is Top cigarette papers. They are sold at most gas stations and grocery stores and are meant to be used for hand-rolled cigarettes, but they blot oil just as well as the expensive Clean and Clear plastic sheets! They come in a pack of 100 for approximately 69 cents.

Note, you may get ID'ed when you buy these. If you are under 18, they probably will not sell them to you (even though you have absolutely no intention of using them to roll tobacco!)
