# Blotting sheetsBlotting sheets are a must have for summers as the oils can start to show up. some of us use compacts to get rid of the facial oils and to make the skin look matte. But this is wrong. Do you know why? As when you use compacts a couple of time during the day to bloat the oils, the face gets cakey by the end of the day as we are layering the powder on our face and also the oils gets into the sponge applicator or puff which we use again and again. This oil is filled with the bacteria that reside on the face, so do you think we will not have skin problems like blocked pores when we do this. Hence use blotting sheet to make your face matte to soak up the oils.
