Melissa, it sounds like you have combination skin, based on your blackheads on nose and chin, but here's the standard way to find our about your skin type: Wash your face, wait an hour, then dab your face with a tissue, pay attention to T-zone: forehead and nose • Normal skin shows neither oil nor flaking skin. It should feel supple and smooth. • 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. Hope this helps!
