Torriden's Banchic Oil Control Powder Mist is the Perfect Replacement For Your Oil Blotting Papers [Review]

DEAR DREAMERS

I used to use oil blotting papers all the time which I always felt like it made my oily skin even oilier and dehydrated. I stopped using them altogether a few years back because of my suspicion that it made my skin oilier and because it messed up my makeup (I didn’t know how to use it properly back then to avoid lifting off my foundation).

I burned through a lot of oil blotting papers back when I was in high school. I used to envy my friends who would use oil blotting papers and would only have a few dots of oil here there. I mean, seriously, did they even need to use oil blotting papers? Whereas on my end, one blotting paper was not enough for one sitting, I would have one oil-soaked oil blotting paper on one hand and another almost filled up oil blotting paper on the other. I always suspected that I could fry an egg with all that oil that my oil blotting papers soaked up in one day.

Fast-forward to today, I now know that stripping the skin of its much-needed oils causes it to go overdrive and produce even more oil which is why I started using cleansing oils and stopped using nose pore strips.

Torriden's Banchic Oil Control Powder Mist

Does this mean that there’s no hope in trying to keep my skin shine-free? I got myself Torriden's Banchic Oil Control Powder Mist back when I was still wearing makeup all the time in hopes of keeping my makeup from looking cakey or greasy. However, I hardly wear makeup now and I prefer going out bare-faced (with sunscreen, of course). When I stopped using foundations, bb creams, and the likes, I avoided the problem of looking too greasy but during the hot summer weather, it’s hard to keep myself shine-free which is why I wanted to give this product a try.

Review

In just one spritz, my greasy and oily skin turned to a shine-free skin. If you look closely, you can tell that there is still a little oil left on my skin which is good since I don’t want my skin to start producing even more oil. Plus, my skin still feels hydrated and fresh after using the mist on my face. Best of all, I don’t need to rub my skin or use my hands on my face when using Torriden's Banchic Oil Control Powder Mist.
