Adding on: in desert air humectant-heavy formulas (lots of glycerin, hyaluronic acid, aloe) can make skin feel tighter if they’re not sealed in, so apply on damp skin and top with a richer occlusive layer. Also check your cleanser and shower temp - foaming washes and hot water strip lipids fast, and at 64 your barrier makes fewer of them so yeah if you want a tweak, look for a cream with ceramides, cholesterol, and fatty acids or 5–10% urea and and use SPF as a separate step so your day cream doesn’t rely on drying film-formers.
Skip meal kits. Sheet pan gnocchi that pretends to be fancy: shelf-stable gnocchi, cherry tomatoes, red onion, feta, olive oil. Toss, roast at 425 until blistered, then smash it together and act like you planned it. Costs less than a latte and the oven does the labor.
