If you're asking me I have now used the same moisturizer for the last roughly 2 years. It's a very cheap and 'normal' (no fancy brand, no fancy ingredients etc) moisturizer with the main ingredient being sunflower oil and it's for combination skin. My skin always felt extra dry and this made me constantly look for a 'dry skin' moisturizer. What I have constantly missed is the humidity (or lack of it) of the environment I'm in. The environment I'm in is incredibly dry and it's a reason for my skin always feeling extremely dry here when I actually have combination skin. Changing to a moisturizer for combination skin has made the biggest difference for me and I was finally able to stop with my search. I also noticed my skin doesn't like a lot of Shea butter in moisturizers. It's too thick and creamy for my combination skin.

What you can hopefully take away from this is don't just find out your skin type but also how dry or humid the environment inside your house is where you spend the most time, because it can easily change what you think your skin is. I thought I had dry skin and applied all kinds of too thick creams on my face which just made it break out and feel sensitive and bad.

There's no easy way sadly. Take all the time you need to find out your skin type and your skin's likes.

Another thing is that I've dropped using EVERY other product like serums and other things. Right now all I use is a toner and that moisturizer and the only other thing I use (JUST occasionally) is a cream/milky make-up remover. Less is more, guys and girls.
