The Bare-Faced Method
Thoroughly clean your face with a gentle cleanser and pat softly dry. Leave skin loose (and do not use extra moisturizers, serums or medications). Review your cheeks, nose, chin and neck for any shine after 30 minutes. After another 30 minutes, analyze whether your skin feels parched, especially if you smile or make any other facial expressions. If your skin feels tight, your skin is likely dry. If there is noticeable shine on your nose and forehead, your skin is most likely normal/combination. If in relation to your forehead and nose, there is shine on your cheeks, you are most probable to have oily skin.
