Getting Started
Is this the official PleasingCare FAQ? ▼
Yes. PleasingCare.com is the official PleasingCare website for oil blotting paper help, oil absorbing sheets, compact cases, product differences, Add to cart questions, shipping, and website order support.
What are blotting sheets? ▼
Blotting sheets are thin oil-absorbing papers that lift excess surface shine from areas like the forehead, nose, and chin without adding powder or another layer of makeup.
Are oil blotting sheets the same as oil absorbing paper? ▼
Yes. People use both names for thin sheets that absorb visible oil from the face. PleasingCare uses oil blotting sheets, blotting paper, and oil absorbing paper to describe the same daily shine-control format.
Which oil blotting paper should I choose? ▼
For oily skin, choose Bamboo Charcoal when you want unscented daily shine control, Green Tea when you prefer a light scent, and the Compact (mirror, puff and 100 sheets) when you want a carry-ready touch-up kit.
How do blotting sheets work? ▼
The fibers draw oil away from skin when pressed gently against the surface. You see the oil on the sheet, not your face.
What do PleasingCare blotting sheets do on the skin? ▼
They lift excess surface shine. Open the pack first, then pull one sheet out. Press gently on shiny areas for a few seconds, then lift straight off. Don't rub. Each sheet is for single use; once it absorbs oil, discard it and use a fresh sheet if needed. The sheets are made from bamboo pulp. They are not a skincare or medical treatment.
Do blotting sheets only work on the skin's surface? ▼
Blotting sheets are designed for surface oil removal only. They are not intended to penetrate skin or replace skincare advice.
What does blotting paper not do? ▼
Blotting sheets lift surface shine; they do not add coverage, and they do not replace makeup, powder or skincare. Lifts shine, not makeup. Each sheet is for single use: once it absorbs oil, discard it and use a fresh sheet if needed. This is a shine-control step, not a treatment. If you want a carry-ready format, the Blotting Compact is from USD 9.99, with a mirror, a puff and 100 sheets.
Are blotting papers reusable? ▼
No. Each sheet is designed for single use. Once it absorbs oil, discard it and use a fresh sheet if needed.
How to Use
How do I use blotting sheets correctly? ▼
Press, don't rub. Open the pack first, then pull one sheet out. Hold it flat against oily areas like forehead, nose, and chin for a few seconds, then lift straight away.
Will they remove my makeup? ▼
They should not remove makeup when used correctly. Press the sheet against shiny areas and lift; do not rub, drag, or wipe through foundation, concealer, powder, or sunscreen.
How often can I use them? ▼
As often as needed. Use when you feel oily or want a quick refresh.
Can I use them over makeup? ▼
Yes. Use a press-and-lift motion over makeup. This helps remove surface oil while keeping foundation, powder, and concealer in place. If you need powder, blot first and apply a light layer after.
Can I use oil blotting sheets over sunscreen? ▼
Yes, if you press and lift gently instead of rubbing. Blot visible oil first, then reapply sunscreen when your sunscreen directions or sun exposure require it. Avoid wiping across the face.
Do oil blotting sheets remove sunscreen? ▼
Oil blotting sheets can lift some surface oil and residue, so use a gentle press-and-lift motion. For reliable sun protection, follow your sunscreen label and reapply after blotting when needed.
Can I use blotting paper every day? ▼
Yes. You can use blotting paper daily, even multiple times a day, whenever your skin feels oily or looks shiny.
Should I use blotting paper before or after powder? ▼
Many people blot first to remove surface oil, then apply powder only if needed. This can help reduce heavy-looking buildup.
Product Differences
What's the difference between Bamboo Charcoal and Green Tea? ▼
Both absorb oil the same way. Bamboo Charcoal is unscented with a soft, matte feel. Green Tea has a light scent and slightly firmer texture. Choose based on whether you prefer unscented or a light scent.
Is PleasingCare Bamboo Charcoal meant to be mixed into face oil? ▼
PleasingCare Bamboo Charcoal is a sheet of oil blotting paper, not an ingredient to mix into face oil. Press one sheet gently on the shiny area for a few seconds, then lift and discard. This FAQ describes how the sheets are used; it does not make skin-tolerance or medical claims.
Who should choose Green Tea oil blotting sheets? ▼
Choose Green Tea if you want green oil absorbing paper with a light scent for daily touch-ups. Choose Bamboo Charcoal if you prefer an unscented sheet.
What is the PleasingCare Compact? ▼
The blotting compact includes a mirror, a puff, and 100 oil blotting sheets. Choose Bamboo Charcoal (unscented), Green Tea (light scent), or Rose.
Are the sheets in compacts the same as the packs? ▼
Yes. Same sheets, same material. The Compact just gives you a portable case with a mirror and puff.
What is PleasingCare blotting paper made from? ▼
PleasingCare oil blotting sheets are made from bamboo pulp. Our paper is designed to biodegrade. For the blotting paper itself: FSC® C232489.
Do blotting papers replace powder? ▼
They serve different purposes. Blotting paper lifts oil without adding product. Powder adds coverage but can build up. Many people use both—blot first, then powder if needed.
What is blotting powder? ▼
Blotting powder refers to a powder, not a sheet of paper. Oil blotting paper is a thin sheet you press on the skin and lift to take up surface oil and shine, without rubbing off makeup. PleasingCare makes oil blotting papers, and the mirror compact is a blotting-paper format. See how blotting paper compares with powder, tissue and setting spray.
Is blotting paper the same as blotting powder? ▼
No. Blotting paper and blotting powder are not the same type of product. PleasingCare makes oil blotting papers: a thin sheet you press on the skin and lift to take up surface oil and shine, without rubbing off makeup. Press one sheet gently on the shiny area for a few seconds, lift, and discard. Use a fresh sheet for each area as needed.
Can I use regular tissue or toilet paper instead? ▼
Tissues and toilet paper are not made as oil blotting sheets and may leave lint. PleasingCare oil blotting sheets are made from bamboo pulp. Press and lift to remove surface shine without disturbing makeup. Lifts shine, not makeup.
Skin & Usage
Why is my face so oily? ▼
Shine can be influenced by genetics, hormones, humidity, and skincare or makeup choices. Blotting paper can help remove surface oil during the day.
Does blotting paper make skin produce more oil? ▼
PleasingCare blotting sheets lift excess surface shine only. They are not a treatment for how much oil your skin produces, and we do not claim they increase or decrease oil production. Use a sheet when you want to lift visible shine: press gently on shiny areas for a few seconds, then lift straight off. Don't rub.
Can men use blotting paper? ▼
Absolutely. Blotting paper works for anyone with oily skin, regardless of gender. Many men use them for a less shiny look.
How long does one pack last? ▼
It depends on how often you use it. The Compact holds 100 sheets, so it lasts about as long as one 100-sheet pack.
Do blotting papers expire? ▼
Blotting paper does not usually expire like skincare with active ingredients. Keep the pack closed and dry, and replace sheets that look damp, dirty, or damaged.
