This Self-observation test is very easy to perform and can be done easily at your home and in your room. You just need to wash your face first with any of your favorite cleanser and then gently pat it dry. Sit back and relax! If after 30 minutes your skin starts shining throughout you might have an oily one. But if after 30 minutes your skin starts getting dry and rough just like in winters you might have a dry one. If you observe the shining skin occurs on the T-ZONE you might have combination skin but if you feel super hydrated fresh, soft skin you have a good normal one. Above all if after washing your face if your skin is irritated or become swollen red you might have sensitive skin.

You just need to wash your face with any gentle cleanser and gently pat it dry. Again sit back and relax! Press blotting sheets to T-Zone of your face, then remove it and see the oil markings on the sheet. If you find oil in all areas of the face, you have oily skin, if it absorb little to no oil, you might have dry skin, if the sheets show only a little amount of oil from T-Zone, you might have combination skin, and if you observe very negligible oil on the sheet, you might have normal skin.
