Why your nose hurts by Wednesday
It's rarely just the cold or the pollen. Repeated friction from scratchy paper, plus added fragrance and dye, irritates already-sensitive skin until it's raw.
Remove the additives and soften the fiber, and the same number of blows does far less damage.
What gentle really requires
Our tissues are 3-ply with long, soft bamboo fibers, hypoallergenic, dermatologist-tested, and free of fragrance, dyes, and lotion. Nothing extra to react to.
Because the fibers stay intact, they also don't shed the little flakes that cheaper tissue leaves on your face and glasses.
Small habits that help
A few things that make allergy season easier on your skin:
- Keep a box in every room you actually use, so you're never tempted by harsh paper towels
- Pat, don't rub, to reduce friction
- Choose fragrance-free everything when your skin is already inflamed
