How to Make Blotter Paper
People with oily skin, particularly during the summer, often have trouble with their skin appearing greasy and shiny even when they have makeup on. While there are many products out on the market--including mattifying powders and blotting papers--that can help to reduce oily buildup on the face, making your own blotting papers out of a few simple items is cheaper. While high quality blotting papers can cost almost $14 a pack, homemade blotting papers can be made with toilet seat covers, which are available for purchase online for a few dollars. Does this Spark an idea?
