Wait 1 to 2 hours without applying any products
Observe how your skin feels
Check for shine on the forehead, nose, and chin

Check for flaking or rough patches
Blot different areas with tissue or blotting paper
If oil appears on most areas, your skin is oily
If oil appears only on the T-zone, your skin is combination
If your skin feels tight and looks dull, your skin is dry
If your skin feels balanced with little oil or dryness, your skin is normal
If your skin reacts easily to products or weather, your skin is sensitive
