Blotting on Shabbos

Question:

Hello,
Thank you for your help.
Is it ok to use “oil blotting papers” on Shabbos to absorb oil on the face during Shabbos? No make-up color is added, and the rice (or similar type) of thin paper is thrown out…
Thanks

Answer:

Personally I don’t see any issue with it. It isn’t mochaik, because that only applies to writing, besides it isn’t erasing the makeup. It isn’t borer because this is similar to washing oneself, which is not considered borer. Therefore I don’t see any issue with it.

Have a good Shabbos
