Help! Due to the crazytown weather we continue to have in PDX this winter, the heaters are on all the time and despite our tropical climate, I can feel the moisture literally being sucked out of my skin. I had my first facial yesterday, and the verdict was that my current moisturizer isn't getting the job done. So I was wondering, does anyone have any recommendations for good moisturizers? I am looking for both a body moisturizer (legs, elbows, etc.) and a face moisturizer. I currently have a day and night moisturizer for the body and I use the entire Origins skincare line (currently using the Dr. Weil's, which is a light moisturizer) during the day and a heavier anti-aging cream at night. Still, nothing is enough. So, LJ Genie, does anyone have a really good lotion out there? What works for you? (Also, if you don't mind, include what your skin type is like, b/c mine is mixed so the combination of winter dryness and natural oily-ness is killing me.)
Thanks a bunch!
Note: Any kind of perfumery is fine. I am also fine with scentless, organic or non-organic, etc. I'm not picky.

Why does nobody comment here? ;-) I like your reviews and other articles. I'm a sniffa too.
Well, a bit late, but here goes:
I have combination skin and the dry parts are getting flakey as I get older. My usual moisturisers weren't doing the job either, but then I found Elizabeth Arden Extreme Conditioning cream for during the day, which helps with the flaking. Another one to try might be Prescriptives Super Flight Cream, I've had a sample and it was pretty good.
At night I use a Lush natural cream called Skin's Shangri La. It smells a bit nutty, but it does the job.
I also use a Lush body cream - Dream Cream. It really works, completely gets rid of my dry leg problem. But I must admit I'm not that keen on the smell. Lush do tend to have smellier-than-thou products, you can always tell when there's a Lush shop nearby...

Thanks so much for the lotion recommendations! The only thing anyone was giving me was "Neutrogena," which wasn't exactly what I had in mind. The Elizabeth Arden is a great recommendation, though. I'll see if I can get the local counter here to give me a sample.
I've never heard of Lush, but I'll look into it. :)
Hi!
Glad I might have helped.
Lush is a UK natural toiletries brand. I think they have branched out to the US and other places, though. They also have online shopping.
