Facial tissue , paper handkerchief , and Kleenex refers to a class of soft, absorbing, disposable paper that is suitable for use on the face. They are a disposable alternative to handkerchief fabrics that can harm the environment. The term is commonly used to refer to a type of paper network, usually sold in boxes, designed to facilitate the expulsion of nasal mucus from the nose (nose-blowing) although it can refer to other types of facial tissues including napkins and tissues.
Facial tissue is often referred to as "network", or (in the United States) by the general trademark "Kleenex" which popularizes its invention and use.

Producing
Facial tissue and paper handkerchiefs are made from the lowest basic tissue paper (14 18 g/m 2 ). Surfaces are often made smoother by calendering light. This paper type usually consists of 2-3 layers. Due to the high quality requirements, the base network is usually made entirely of pure chemical pulp, but may contain additional recycled fiber options. The tissue paper can be treated with softeners, lotions or perfumes added to get the right nature or "feeling". Hand-held face or handkerchiefs are folded and put into pocket-size or box dispensers.

History
The facial tissue has been used for centuries in Japan, in the form of washi (Japanese language network), or Japanese network, as described in 17th century Europe this account Hasekura Tsunenaga shipping:
- "They blew their noses in a soft silk piece the size of a hand, which they never used twice, so they threw it to the ground after use, and they were glad to see our people around them settling themselves to pick it up. "
In 1924, facial tissue as it is known today was first introduced by Kimberly-Clark as Kleenex. It was created as a means to remove cold cream. Initial ads connect Kleenex to the Hollywood makeup department and sometimes include support from movie stars (Helen Hayes and Jean Harlow) who use Kleenex to erase their theater makeup with cold cream. It was a customer who started using Kleenex as a disposable handkerchief, and reader reviews in 1926 by a newspaper in Peoria, Illinois found that 60% of users use it to blow their noses. Another 40% use it for various reasons, including napkins and toilet paper.
Kimberly-Clark also introduced pop-ups, colored, printed, pocketed, and 3-ply facial tissue.
