Sniffles Happen: How Puffs Plus Lotion Helps Soothe and Protect Your Skin

When you’re dealing with a cold, flu, or seasonal allergies, your nose can take a beating. Frequent wiping can leave skin feeling dry and irritated. That’s where Puffs Plus Lotion comes in. At Puffs, we designed our tissues to help you feel more comfortable during those sniffly days—by combining lotion transfer, mineral oil, and our proprietary cushioning technology.

Why your nose gets irritated when you’re sick or sneezing

A lot of irritation comes down to two things:

Friction from repeated wiping (even when you’re being gentle)
Dryness at the skin surface that can make irritation feel worse over time

Regular tissues may feel fine at first, but when you’re wiping often, skin can start to feel like it’s losing moisture—especially around the nostrils.

How Puffs Plus Lotion helps: lotion transfer + a moisture barrier

Puffs Plus Lotion helps soothe skin through lotion transfer—meaning lotion ingredients can transfer from the tissue to your skin as you use it. Here’s the benefit: Lotion transfer can form a thin moisture barrier on the skin surface that helps reduce water loss compared with a regular tissue. This matters when you’re wiping often, because maintaining that surface moisture can help skin feel more comfortable.
In simple terms:

A regular tissue = wipe + friction, with no added barrier
Puffs with lotion = wipe + cushioning + a lotion-based barrier to help skin hold onto moisture

Puffs buyers claim to be +56% more satisfied with their tissues providing comfort when sick compared to buyers of other tissue brands (based on a 2023 study with 1,100 consumers).

The role of mineral oil in Puffs Plus Lotion

Puffs Plus Lotion includes mineral oil, which is widely used in skincare as a moisturizer. What it can help with during cold and seasonal allergy season:

Helping moisturize and hydrate the skin surface
Helping protect already irritated skin
Helping reduce friction damage from repeated wiping

Our proprietary cushion technology: comfort for every blow

When you’re reaching for tissues all day, softness isn’t just a “nice to have.” It’s part of how you help reduce irritation from repeated wiping.

Puffs uses proprietary technology to create cushiony softness for every blow—so each wipe can feel gentler. Combined with lotion transfer, that added cushion helps make frequent use more comfortable.

Quick comfort tips for tissue season (simple, but helpful)

These small habits can help, especially when paired with Puffs Plus Lotion:

Blot when you can: A gentle blot can reduce rubbing.
Use a fresh tissue often: A clean, soft tissue each time can feel better on skin.
Be consistent: Using lotion tissues early (not only after irritation starts) may help your skin stay more comfortable.

FAQs

How can Puffs tissues help soothe and protect during colds, flu, and seasonal allergy season?

Puffs Plus Lotion helps by transferring lotion to skin to form a moisture barrier and by adding cushion for every blow—both can reduce dryness and friction from frequent wiping.

What is lotion transfer in Puffs tissues?

Lotion transfer means lotion ingredients move from the tissue to your skin during use, helping create a moisture barrier that can limit water loss at the skin surface.

How does mineral oil in Puffs Plus Lotion help skin?

Mineral oil is a common moisturizer that can help protect already irritated skin and help reduce friction damage when you need to wipe often.

Why can regular tissues make my nose feel drier when I’m wiping a lot?

Frequent wiping can increase friction and dryness. Regular tissues don’t add a lotion-based moisture barrier, so skin may feel like it’s losing moisture more quickly.
