Many people struggle to identify their skin type correctly because skin can behave differently throughout the day. Shine, tightness, or uneven texture can be confusing, especially when skincare products are involved.<\/p>\n
Learning how to tell whether your skin is oily, dry, or combination helps you choose products that work with your skin instead of against it.<\/p>\n

This is why identifying your skin type should always be done on clean, product-free skin.<\/p>\n
