    Tulip is right- they make various moisturizers with different formulas for different skin types. If one is too oily then another will be just right. Also don't use too much- a little goes a very long way.
    For my 53 year old face skin with no oiliness/blemish problems, I use the "Moisturizing Day Cream". Very silky and light. I think it adds more moisture for "mature skin" than the quince day cream.
    My other fave Dr.H product is the (also expensive) Birch Arnica body oil. Once every 2 or 3 weeks I loofah my whole body in the shower and then massage in the oil all over- it is so light it never feels "oily", just silky and warming. A few drops here and there can get worked in nicely. Smells like wood and the wonderful silky effect lasts for many days afterwards. It amazes me that I don't "feel" it there 5 days later, but water will still bead up on my skin a bit and I don't feel dry skin issues. Needless to say, I don't suds my whole body up with soap every day in the shower- I don't like removing all my good natural skin oils excessively. I just do the hot water shower all over and soap up the strategic spots.
    I really feel like I need to try this stuff. I am suffering from really dry skin right now. Winter is not my friend at the moment. My scalp is really suffering. Like you I use a very natural olve oil and goats milk soap when I shower or just water except for the private area's. they always get washed.
    Blessed are the flexible, for they shall not be bent out of shape.

    Try some vitamin e, too (take it internally). If everything is dry and your scalp is suffering, it could be a nutritional issue in addition to the usual dry skin in the winter. Eat avocados and olive oil! Yum.

    And are you being sure to drink plenty of water? It's easy for me to get dehydrated when it's cold out, because I just don't feel like drinking a lot of water.
