Tea Gardens NSW, 19 November 2010. MattePerfect is a natural silk facial blotting paper that is used to absorb oil and sebum, leaving skin radiant and shine-free. The papers are beautifully packaged in purse-friendly sachets of 50 square sheets. Designed by the French and made in Japan, MattePerfect papers are an extremely high quality yet affordable product.
Facial blotting papers are not new as a cosmetic tool - up to 85% of women in Japan use them regularly as part of their make-up and skincare routine. For thousands of years, delicate papers have been used by Geisha's and Kabuki dancers to matte facial shine and prolong their marvellous makeup. Today, the use of facial papers in Western Society is growing as consumers become aware of the benefits of using a natural and effective shine-management product.
MattePerfect papers are made from a rich blend of Japanese kimono silk and natural flax linen with no additives or artificial ingredients. MattePerfect asserts that they do not use forest-destroying pulp and cause no damage to the planet. Their papers have 40% more oil/water absorption than standard pulp papers, and unlike some of their competitors, their papers are dual-sided, providing twice the value from each sheet.
The benefit of using MattePerfect papers for the average consumer is a lustrous, shine-free face, and longer lasting makeup without blocked pores or powdery residue. Amongst the instructional tips listed on www.matteperfect.com.au, there are recommendations for using MattePerfect to:
· remove excess sheen after applying daily moisturiser
· pat the face periodically with the papers to preserve and extend makeup
· pat makeup throughout the day as heat and sebum sheen intensify to reduce shine
· get rid of excess sebum caused by hormones or the environment
· stop makeup from dissolving in summer heat and hot winter interiors when perspiration and sebum increase
· extend lip colour by applying lipstick, patting the lips with a paper, and adding another coat of lipstick
· remove the pollutants, bacteria and sebum that can damage the most resilient and beautiful skin
· allow the skin to breath by unclogging pores with MattePerfect's natural flax and silk fibres
For the changing skin conditions of teenagers, MattePerfect offers this advice:
"Teenagers must be extra vigilant about balancing their sebum production. In Japan, nine out ten teenage girls successfully combat sebum and shine with blotting papers, several times a day. MattePerfect offers the simplest and most natural cleanse with its easy use and kimono silk and wild flax ingredients." 
Whilst facial blotting papers are useful for all the reasons identified above, MattePerfect has distinguished itself from its competitors by offering a very high quality product made from natural ingredients. It will have particular appeal for people attending special occasions such as weddings where photographs can easily capture and emphasise the build-up of shine on the face, or for professional photographers to offer their clients as a courtesy prior to a shoot.
