Skincare for hot, sunny, dry environments

Feel like I'm taking up the entire S&B forum so apologies for anyone getting sick of seeing my questions, but the advice on here is far more real than I seem to get anywhere else.

I have a few holidays booked this year (woooo) including Singapore and a road trip round San Francisco/LA/Vegas etc. Both are hot and sunny (duh). I think the US is relatively dry (not sure though) and I know Singapore is humid, but a lot of time is spent indoors with the air con turned right up so my skin always freaks out at the combination of crazy humidity outside and the drying effect of the inside air con. Additionally, both times I have to spend far too long on planes with strong air con again.

Looking for recommendations of products that would help me out in these situations. Basically want some kind of SPF cream etc. for the face which I can wear daily. Also looking for a good moisturiser or night mask or something which will rejuvenate my skin without just clogging it up. I've heard good things about Origins drink up mask, particularly if you use when flying, has anyone tried this?

Please nothing too expensive, fancy skincare looks great but unfortunately I really can't justify spending loads on it right now. Thanks!

The Biore Watery Essence SPF50 is good; get it now from Amazon, as it sells out in summer in Asia. And Clinique Moisture Surge as well as the companion spray has always worked for me in hot climates; it's hydrating rather than creamy and can be used at night. But there will be more knowledgeable peeps than me to help you. Biore is not expensive; Clinique will be on sale in every duty free shop everywhere.

Yep, good sunscreen (SPF 50+) is a must. Japanese brands are best. I use Shiseido Senka.

I also tend to use a lot of serums rather than full on moisturizer in summer to counteract the dehydrating effect of air-conditioning. Moisturizing creams tend to sweat off. I use The Ordinary Buffet plus a hyraluonic acid product of some kind. Hyraluonic sheet masks are also a good bet for intense moisturizing without clogging.

I like the Biore mentioned above, and the Body Shop Skin defence Multi-Protection Essence SPF50.
Personally, don't put anything on at night (just daily moisturiser with spf brings out the spots for me), so can't advise there.
