In addition to just absorbing oil, as many blotting sheets do, these ones from [Boscia](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boscia-1) are designed to reduce shine and neutralize bacteria, specifically for individuals who are prone to blemishes and breakouts.

The portable blotting papers are made from all-natural Abaca Tree fibers, plus antiseptic bamboo and willow bark extract. In addition to being useful for [blemish prevention](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/byoma-blemish), these ingredients also minimize pores and diminish dark spots from past breakouts.

While there are many products of this nature that are best used on a freshly washed face, this one from Boscia can be used over makeup and is gentle enough not to disturb products on the face. As an alternative to [cleansers that require running water](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acne-treating-cleansing-paste) and removal, these portable blotting sheets are ideal for use on the go.
