THE TISSUE TEST(such as Neutrogena for normal skin). Rinse with water. Pat try 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 Tzone (across forehead, down nose and chin), you most
likely have 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 yearduring spring, summer and winter
because your skin changes with the seasons.
