How do you manage skin dryness that worsens during the change of seasons?

My skin is a bit oily in the T-zone and generally on the dry side.

Lately, after washing my face and applying makeup in the morning, I feel fine during the day, but in the afternoon, I can feel my skin becoming tight and dry. The tightness is severe when I talk or laugh, which is uncomfortable.

I heard that it can happen if you are dehydrated, so I drink water frequently and use a gentle cleanser when washing my face.

I use a face mask in the evening, and I apply moisturizing cream frequently when I'm at home.

The problem is that I'm out. I can't apply moisturizer because I'm wearing makeup.

I've heard that facial mist is good for hydration; are you using one? I'm curious if it causes makeup to cake or anything like that when sprayed after application.

I would also appreciate recommendations for affordable, gentle products that provide ample hydration.
