My nose gets oily and my cheeks feel tight as soon as lunch is over. How do you all determine the amount of oil-moisture balance cream to use and how do you schedule your skincare routine?

My skin has been acting strangely lately because the temperature has dropped sharply in the mornings and evenings. After washing my face, white dead skin cells flake off on my cheeks, but my nose and forehead become oily by lunchtime, so I'm confused whether I'm using too little cream or if I've actually applied too much.
So these days, instead of applying a generous amount of cream all at once, I’ve been splitting the application into two layers: spreading a thin layer while my skin is still slightly damp after washing, waiting about three minutes, and then adding another layer. It definitely feels less tight in the mornings. However, by midday, the oiliness on my nose and forehead remains the same, so I’m not sure if this is the right approach.
In the evening, I apply a slightly thick layer of moisturizing cream as a finishing touch after the soothing ampoule, and twice a week, I apply an extra layer of cream only to the dead skin cells around my mouth and cheeks before going to sleep.
Is it okay to continue with just home care like this? I’ve heard that if internal dryness recurs, it is better to use treatments that replenish moisture periodically, like a skin booster. I would like to hear opinions from those with experience on how you schedule treatments during seasonal changes or in winter, and how many times a day is appropriate to use cream.
