Oily Skin Test
If you frequently feel like you have what can be described as a greasy face or an oily face, there’s a good chance you have oily skin. However, if you're not sure, you can use blotting sheets to test it.
The Test:
Dab one blotting sheet on your cheeks, another on your forehead, and another on your nose—then hold them up to the light. If all three of the sheets are saturated in oil, it's reasonable to believe that you have oily skin.
Note:
- Normal skin will show only light oil stains from all areas of the face, while oily skin will show an abundance of oil from all areas.
- If you notice oiliness around your T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin) but dryness in other areas (such as your cheeks), you may have combination skin.
