Use a mild cleanser to remove makeup, grime, and oil from your face. Pat Dry: Dry your face gently with a clean cloth. Wait and Watch: Be product-free. Wait about an hour.
Oil-absorbing blotting papers are offered in drugstores. Facial Press Sheets: Apply blotting sheets to your forehead, nose, chin, and cheeks gently. Hold sheets up to light to measure oil absorption.
Normal Skin: Smooth, balanced, and low in oil and dryness. Oily Skin: Shiny and greasy, especially on the T-zone. Large pores, acne-prone. Dry skin is tight, flaky, and dull. May show lines or redness.
Hydration Level: Check if your skin quickly absorbs moisturisers or stays hydrated. Monitor your skin's reaction to skincare products. Certain products hurt or redden sensitive skin.
Morning and Night: Check your skin before bed. Midday Check: Check for shiny, dry, or irritated skin.
If you're still unclear of your skin type, see a dermatologist. Professional examination and personalised recommendations are available.
