Moisturize with Jo Malone and Peachy Deegan! Your Skin will not only Survive the Winter, it will be Revived!



We at Whom You Know are on the lookout for fabulous ways to get you and your skin through winter with moisture and style and one of the best ways to do that is with Jo Malone.  We are becoming quite the fan of this lovely English line by the Estee Lauder Company and with every product we try that exceeds our expectations we are compelled to tell you.  


Jo Malone introduces a comprehensive collection of new skincare products for any lifestyle.  Each Jo Malone product is designed to work alone or in synergy with others. The straightforward selection of Cleansers and Moisturisers become the basis of a daily skin care regime. And, at the heart of the line is the collection of Specialists – products so dynamic they can be combined with Cleansers, Moisturisers and other Specialists to respond to skin’s changing needs.   


Whom You Know critiqued the Ginseng Day Moisturizing Cream paired with the Green Tea and Honey Eye Cream and we think this power-packed combination is a great way to get through these winter months.  The delightful scent of each will make your day.  


Just like a cup of nice hot tea will warm your body, the Green Tea and Honey Eye Cream will do wonders for the skin around your eyes.  We prefer to use this as a day eye cream.  A little goes a long way with this product and the small size 0.52 oz is perfect to keep a jar in your purse, in your travel bag, and in your desk drawer at work.  The cheerful yellow hue is a highlight too!



The Ginseng Day Moisturizing Cream is fabulously rich and moisturizing and the scent is among our most favorite.  Invigorating in a beautiful way, the Ginseng Day Moisturizing Cream is the second thing we reach for after a morning shower, after a towel of course!  The consistency and effectiveness are amazing.  We must warn you this product could become habit forming.  We keep opening the jar to capture the scent-it will remind you of the best spring day of the year and help you forget about winter.  And of course, it will moisturize, moisturize, moisturize!


The Jo Malone concept of Skin Care Combining allows you to tailor your daily skin care to suit your needs. It starts with learning to read your skin, then combining something as simple as a single Specialist with a Moisturiser in the palm of your hand.



For example, if your skin feels particularly dehydrated and dry, you can create a daytime moisture boost by combining two drops of the Specialist Protein Skin Serum with Ginseng Day Moisturising Cream. Or, if you need a richer moisturizer in the evening, you can combine two drops of Protein Skin Serum with Orange & Geranium Night Cream. By understanding your skin care signals and good skin care practice, you can encourage your skin to achieve its optimum condition. Practicing Skin Care Combining with versatile products like Vitamin E Gel, will give you the skills to address a wealth of skin care concerns.
