While I'm at it...

Since I'm talking about non-perfume stuff today, I wanted to thank everyone for your suggestions on a good moisturizer. After trying a number of things, I finally settled on Juice Beauty's Nutrient Moisturizer for dry/sensitive/mature skin. It's a medium weight moisturizer made entirely from organic materials. It has a very mild smell and decently moisturized the dry areas of my face without leaving the oily sections even oilier. It may take a little while for me to fully evaluate my choice, but so far, so good.

Thanks again for the recommendations!

Reader Input Requested

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.
