Skin Type Test

You’ve seen the various skin types. However, how to know your skin type at home? Let’s answer this question. You can do a simple skin type test at home to know your skin type. Here’s how to do it.

The most straightforward one is the blotting paper method. It helps you differentiate between an oily and dry skin type.

Take a blotting paper and gently pat it on various areas of your face. See the sheet up in light to determine the amount of oil visible. You have a dry skin type if there’s very little or no oil on the sheet. However, you have oily skin if the paper shows a lot of oil. On the other hand, if the paper shows oil from the forehead and the nose area, you have a combination skin type.
