My skincare routine these days

How do you all manage your skin troubles these days? It's already past 10 PM, and I think it's because I was so exposed to the heater today that my face feels like it's going to tear. I've been trying to maintain my skincare routine by drinking two liters of water, but I feel like water alone isn't enough to address my skin's outer layer... I'm currently following a daily skincare routine of applying a sheet mask and a hydrating ampoule, but it feels like pouring water into a bottomless pit. I'm resting with a humidifier by my bedside, peeling a tangerine, and even static electricity is building up, so I guess humidity is just not an option. Do you have your own super-hydrating home care routine for these times? With the end of the year approaching, there are a lot of gatherings and makeup to do, and seeing my foundation cracking is incredibly stressful. Now that I'm in my 30s, I've definitely noticed that if I don't have a solid foundation, my skin will recover more slowly. If you have any tips for synergizing before and after using a face pack, or any effective skincare routines that can help rebuild a compromised skin barrier, please share them with us! I'm desperate for real-world tips on what products you use on these busy nights!
