There is more you can do than what you have been doing with tissue paper. We are not really getting into details here. However, what we are getting at is tissue paper beauty hacks!

That's right, there is much that you can do with tissue paper from removing makeup, clearing out black heads to turning your gloss lipstick into matte. Something as simple as tissue papers can do magic!

However, before we get to beauty tricks using tissue paper, there are a few things you need to be aware of. Tissues, especially the non-coloured, bright white ones, are designed to be used on skin. And, hence are gentle and safe.

Furthermore, many tissues come with neutral pH balance or acidity level, which further makes it compatible to the skin!

However, same cannot be said for low-quality ones, so invest in a premium brand, especially for the one you are using on your face!

Also, here are incredibly easy beauty hacks using tissue paper! Have a look.

Peel Off Mask

When the issue starts tightening around the skin, peel it off in one quick stroke. This simple egg tissue paper face mask will remove all skin impurities and brighten the skin!

Put a warm towel over your face for 2 minutes to open pores. Take 1 teaspoon of egg white and mix in 5 drops of tea tree oil. Cut a paper towel into a thin strip. Apply a thin coat of the mask all over your nose. Then, stick the strip, and apply another coat of the mask over the strip. Let it sit for 15 minutes and then remove it in one quick swipe like a band-aid. Blackheads will come right off!
