2. Wait an hour until your skin return to its natural state.
3. Dab your face with a tissue; pay some extra attention to your T-zone.
4. Determine your skin type :

- Oily skin is characterized by the grease on the tissue. It is also common for a person with oily skin to have large pores and a shine.

- Dry skin may feel taut or show flakes of dead skin. It is associated with small pores. Moisturizing is important for this skin type.

- Combination skin is most common. It exhibits traits of all three of the above skin types. Usually, the skin is oily in the T-zone and normal to dry elsewhere.
