You've taken the quiz. Multiple times. On multiple websites. And every time, you get a different answer. One says oily. One says combination. One asks if your skin is 'dewy or shiny' and you genuinely don't know the difference.
Here's a way that actually works: wash your face with a gentle cleanser. Pat dry. Wait one hour. Don't touch it. Don't add anything. Just go about your life and then check in.
What your skin is telling you
Tight and flaky: You're dry. Your skin wants moisture and it's being dramatic about it.
Shiny all over: You're oily. Your sebaceous glands are overachievers. It's fine.
Shiny only on forehead, nose, chin: You're combination. Welcome to the most common skin type, and the most confusing one to shop for.
Nothing much happening: You're normal. People with normal skin don't know how good they have it.
Red, reactive, burning with new products: You're sensitive. Patch test everything. Always.
Why this matters
Knowing your skin type means you stop buying things that don't work for you. Oily skin doesn't need a heavy oil-based moisturiser. Dry skin shouldn't be using a foaming cleanser that strips everything. Combination skin needs to stop being treated like it's one uniform surface.
It also helps you figure out which sheet masks to reach for. A coffee mask for an oily T-zone morning. A rice berry mask for a dry, dull skin day. A red wine mask for the nights when your skin needs to be taken seriously.
👉 Once you know your type, Face O'Clock's sheet mask range is basically a choose-your-own-adventure for your face.
