Attention hipsters: you wear black t-shirt, black jeans, black shoes … but still use white tissues to blow your nose? You need this: a box of Japanese black facial tissue.

That actually looks like a good idea. Funerals, people who are squeamish about snot or nosebleeds... it has real applications.

I got some black q-tip style ear swabs the last time I was in Japan. I wasn't ready for the brutal honesty of how much gunk comes out of my ears.

Using black napkins always leaves like a smear of black on the face/hands. I wonder if these do it too.

What a waste of dye

I'm pretty sure they bleach the normal ones, so we're wasting chemicals one way or the other

Well Renova already made history by making the black toilet paper!

I'd rather be fashionable wiping my face than other parts of my body!

This means I'm a hipster at last? Awesome.

You don't use them like normal tissue. You use them to blot the oils off your face. Japan has lots of different kind, many of which are black (you can see the oil afterwards because it makes the matte paper shiny)

see. in my circle, we use the brand name "kleenex" to refer to all kinds of kleenex-ish items.
i saw the words "black facial tissue" and i thought it was referring to the face skin of black people.

Or, if you're Black.

Looks like gray to me, not black, but still odd. Then again, it's no odder than pink.
