The Skin Tissue Test

Wash down your face with a neutral or non-particular skin type soap or cleanser, such as Neutrogena for normal skin. Rinse with water. Pat with a towel just enough to absorb moisture but do not rub. Wait one hour, and then cover your entire face with a ply of a large facial tissue but press it lightly all over your face. Remove the paper carefully after one minute and examine it near to a light.
-If you see oil throughout the tissue, you most likely have oily skin.
-If you see oil only in the T‐zone (across forehead, down nose and chin), you most likely have combination skin.
