🔶 In the morning, wash your face with any mild and gentle Facewash. Don't over wash your face. And then wipe your face gently with towel.
🔶After washing your face wait for an hour. Do not apply anything on your face, no moisturizer, no toner, nothing. Leave your face as it is.
🔶After an hour, take a tissue and pat your T-zone area with it. Look at the tissue to determine if oil rubbed off on it.
🔶If the oil is rubbed on the tissue it means your T-zone area is oily.
🔶For oily skin - Your T-zone area is oily as well as your cheeks and all over your face is oily and you have a shine on your face.
