[...] If your oil situation is embarrassing during the day, there is absolutely nothing wrong with using blotting linens. I know quite a few guys who do. I did a post on them (click here) comparing some of my faves. For guys, I would recommend the Boscia or the Clean & Clear, so as to avoid looking powdery. Also, these Biore Shine Control Sheets seem to work well and don’t use mineral oil as an ingredient like the Clean & Clear.Good luck, Thaddeus! Thanks for writing! [...]

Thanks for the info on the Clean & Clear sheets. I’ve used them for a long time and did not know they contained mineral oil. I plan on trying the Bosica Green Tea ones you recommended. I love this site!!!!

Toni + JCD, my friend Stephanie SWEARS by the toilet seat covers and is always snagging them when we’re out! I’ve never tried it but I use the Shiseido Blotting papers. I love that they don’t leave a residue and come in a simple carrying case that I can toss in my purse and go. Since only my t-zone is oily I don’t go through too many at a time I’m not a fan of the Papier Poudre (The Body Shop used to carry these) ones since they always left a white powder on my face and, if I remember correctly, I didn’t care for the smell.

Toni, I use those too!! I thought I was the only one, now I don’t feel so bad! I also use end papers that you use for roller sets. My cheap self will have to give the Palladio brand blotting papers a try. I have a very oily t-zone area too.

This might trip you out, but in a pinch- those paper toilet seat covers make wonderful blotting papers!!! Dont have powder on them,but they do soak up the oil!!!Good to know when you are out somewhere and need a quick blot- the bathrooms usually always have covers nowadays!!! Kinda ghetto- BUT IT WORKS!!!
