What is my skin type?

How can I find my skin type at home

To determine skin type at home. Start by washing the face with a mild cleanser and leaving it bare for 30 minutes. If the skin appears shiny, it is oily; if it feels tight or flaky, it is dry; if the T-zone is oily but cheeks are dry or normal, it is combination; if it feels balanced, it is normal; and if it gets red or irritated, it is sensitive. Another method is the blotting paper test—pressing it on different areas of the face. Excess oil on all areas indicates oily skin, little to no oil suggests dry skin, and oil only in the T-zone points to combination skin.

How to know if you have combination skin

Combination skin can be identified when different areas of your face show different skin characteristics. Typically, the T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin) will feel oily, often with visible shine or clogged pores, while the cheeks and other areas may feel dry, tight, or normal. You might notice that your forehead, nose, or chin (sometimes called the "T-zone") is prone to breakouts or excess oil, while the rest of your face feels drier or less oily. The key sign is this imbalance, where some parts of your skin seem to be more oily or acne-prone, while others are drier or more sensitive. If you're noticing both oily and dry areas on your face regularly, combination skin is likely.
