So first question first !

What is a skin type anyway?

Well, it basically refers to the characteristics of somebody's skin. 

Mainly there are five skin types : Oily, Dry, Combination, Normal and Sensitive.

Now coming back to our original question, how to determine your skin type?

Oily Skin

Following points will assist you to determine whether your skin is Oily type: 

A. Cleanse your face with a mild cleanse. Now, wait for about an hour and see your face in mirror if you see shininess on your face then it's indication that you got Oily Skin.

B. Do you have large pore than usual? That also indicates Oily skin.

C. Another method is going to bed without using any skin care product and also no artificial air conditioning as well. Now, when you wake up in the morning and your face's T-zone and C-zone, both, are oily then your skin type is Oily.

D. If your skin is too often greasy and sticky. That also indicates Oily skin. 

Forehead, chin, nose and cheeks are the areas where Oily skin is conspicuous.

For such type of skin, light weight gel based products are the most suited one.

Sensitive Skin 

It is one the most fragile skin to have. Your skin is sensitive type if you have issues like redness, itching, burning and breakouts. This type of skin is more prone infections and allergic reactions.
