Determining your Skin Type



Most people fall into the following categories: normal-combination skin, dry-sensitive skin, or oily skin. Some of us battle with acne or occasional breakouts. Simple skin-type test In the morning, wash your face. Do not apply toner, moisturizer or anything else to your skin. Wait about an hour and take four pieces of white tissue paper; gently press one piece on forehead, one on your chin, one over your nose and one on your cheek. The results:
• Dry/Sensitive: No oil will appear on the tissue. Skin feels tight after you wash it and can appear flaky or dull.
• Oily: Oil appears on every piece of tissue paper; skin will appear shiny. Skin may also be crusty or flakey around nose.
• Normal/Combination: The tissues placed on the forehead, nose and chin have a little oil, but the cheek area is dry.
