Typically , there are three skin types ; dry, oily and combination . Dry skin and oily skin are self - explanatory, and combination skin is a little bit of both. According to Dr Tess Mauricio of M . Beauty Clinic, you can try the three - step blotting test below to determine your skin type .
1. Wash your face with a gentle cleanser and water . Use your hands to clean your face and avoid scrubbing too hard .

2. Dry your face with a towel and leave your skin alone for one hour without applying any products or touching it.

3. After one hour , if your face feels tight , you have dry skin . After blotting your skin with tissue paper , if there ’s oil on your T - zone ( forehead , nose and chin) , but not your cheeks , you have combination skin . If you do the same tissue- paper test on your cheeks , and there ’s an oily shine on your T - zone and cheeks , you have oily skin . However , if your skin looks discoloured and feels tingly , you have a sensitive skin .
Now that you know your skin type , you can choose the best products that will deliver a healthier , more radiant complexion.
