It is to dip and absorb the oily areas of the face, rather than rubbing. This is very important. If the oil-absorbing paper used is of poor quality and the method is improper, it will damage the skin and enlarge the pores. The oil on the surface of the skin can resist the invasion of ultraviolet rays and external dirt, thus playing a certain protective role for the skin. However, in order to keep the face refreshed, long-term and frequent use of oil-absorbing facial tissue will completely take away the oil from the skin, causing the skin to lose its self-protection, making the skin think it is lacking oil and thus secreting more oil.
