Today, we're going to talk about a seemingly simple but easily confused question: what's the difference between facial tissues and napkins? Many people think they can be used interchangeably, but actually, their uses, materials, and hygiene standards are quite different! Let's take a look and avoid embarrassing yourself by using the wrong tissue!

Uses and Applicable Scenarios: Facial tissues are mainly used for wiping your face and hands, especially those in soft packs or plastic bags, which are particularly suitable for daily cleaning and moisturizing.

Napkins are used in restaurants and other places to wipe your mouth and hands. They generally come in folded and flat types, are more durable, and have good absorbency.

Softness and Absorbency: Facial tissues are super soft, feeling like a cloud, and contain moisturizing ingredients, making them very comfortable for wiping your face and hands without irritating the skin.

Napkins, while also absorbent, are more durable and less prone to tearing, making them suitable for wiping oil and water stains. They have excellent oil absorption and are more durable.

Hygiene Standards and Safety: Facial tissues have very high hygiene standards, with no more than 200 bacteria per gram. They are safe and reliable for direct contact with the face.

Napkins have relatively lower hygiene standards; a bacterial count of no more than 600 per gram is considered acceptable. While they are fine for daily use, never use them to wipe your face, as they can easily irritate the skin.
