Oil-absorbing paper is super useful in summer, especially for those with oily face. Can oil-absorbing paper be used repeatedly? What are the side effects of oil blotting papers?

Can oil absorbing paper be reused?

Can't. Oil-absorbing paper, like paper towels, cotton pads, wet wipes and other items, are disposable items and cannot be used again after use. After one use, the oil-absorbing paper has absorbed the oil and dirt on the skin. If it is reused, it will only bring the oil, dirt and bacteria back to the face, which is not good for the health of the skin.

What are the side effects of oil absorbing paper?

1. Affect the skin's own defense function

Because of its strong oil absorption capacity, oil-absorbing paper can easily absorb the sebum that protects the skin from external stimuli while removing oil, reducing the skin's own defense ability and making it more susceptible to damage from external stimuli. This problem is more likely to occur if you use oil-absorbing paper frequently.

2. May cause skin allergies

Be careful when using oil-absorbing paper. If the quality is not up to standard, it may contain more chemicals, which can easily cause skin allergies and redness. If you have sensitive skin, you may feel uncomfortable using oil-absorbing paper. If you experience any sensitivity or discomfort, stop using it immediately.

3. Skin inadaptability can cause serious damage

Oil-absorbing paper is generally made of linen or artificial synthetic materials. If the skin is not adapted to this material, it may cause damage to the skin even if the quality is guaranteed.

Oil-absorbing paper cannot be reused, and it has side effects, so it is better to use it less.
