Facial tissue and paper handkerchief refers to a class of soft, absorbent, disposable papers that are suitable for use on the face. They are disposable alternatives for cloth handkerchiefs. The terms are commonly used to refer to the type of paper tissue, usually sold in boxes, that is designed to facilitate the expulsion of nasal mucus from the nose ( nose-blowing) although it may refer to other types of facial tissues including napkins and wipes.
Facial tissue is often referred to as a "tissue", or (in the United States) by the genericized trademark " Kleenex" which popularized the invention and its use.
