So I've been on rifampicin for about two weeks to treat my tuberculosis, and I've noticed that my skin is becoming darker and kind of shiny. Is this something normal? Should I be worried about this change in my skin?

Skin getting dark and shiny is not a normal side effect. This could be a sign of a serious condition called drug-induced liver injury. I recommend stopping rifampicin immediately and consulting your healthcare provider. An alternative medication regimen may be necessary.
