THE TISSUE TEST
Wash your face with a neutral (not made for a particular skin type) soap or cleanser (such as Neutrogena for normal skin). Rinse with water.
Pat dry with a towel just enough to absorb moisture do not rub. Wait one hour, and then blot your entire face with one ply (or layer) of a large facial tissue.
Press lightly all over your face and leave for about one minute. Then remove the paper carefully and examine it near a window or a light. What do you see?
• If you see oil throughout the tissue, you most likely have oily skin.
• If you see oil only in the T‐zone (across the forehead, down nose and chin), you most likelyhave combination skin.
• If you see very little oil throughout, you most likely have normal skin.
• If you see no sign of oil at all, you most likely have dry skin.
• If your skin feels irritated or slightly itchy, you most likely have sensitive skin.
You’ll need to perform this test several times a year during spring, summer, and winter
because of your skin changes with the seasons.
