STEAMCREAM: Review

I was first introduced to STEAMCREAM a while ago, I believe through one of the long gone beauty boxes which for a while I was so addicted to and I do have to admit introduced me to some fantastic brands, of which STEAMCREAM is one, in fact since coming across it I have even brought tins to give as presents, to hopefully introduce other to this wonderful brand.

Before I go talking about the cream I have an admission – I may have started collecting the STEAMCREAM tins, I mean who couldn’t fall in love with at least a couple of the designs they offer and with new ones being brought in throughout the year even if you think you have finally ‘collected them all’ you are bound to at some point fall for another one.

The above tin is named PRECIOUS and is a new addition to the STEAMCREAM collection, featuring a mix of fuchsia, lilac and pale pink flowers, it is just the perfect casing for the cream you will find inside.

STEAMCREAM is an all-over body cream being suitable for body, face and hands – it is made using a unique steam process, one that doesn’t take fancy machinery and helps keep all the goodness of the natural ingredients of the cream such as orange flower water, oatmeal and vegetable glycerine, almond oil, jojoba oils and cocoa butter locked in, each day the cream is handmade both in Poole in the UK and Atsugi, Japan before it is sold across the world.

For me, STEAMCREAM has a gorgeous fragrance, though it is one that people seem to either love or hate, as it features a break through scent of lavender, something worth taking into consideration before deciding if you should buy.

When it comes to the cream it offers a light and non-greasy application, which is quickly absorbed into the skin, leaving behind a smooth, silky feeling and allows you skin to feel hydrated for hours – making it perfect for any especially dry spots you may happen to suffer from.

My one bugbear with the cream is the size, you are looking at 75g tin having an RRP of £12.95, so although it is an all over body cream and as much as I would love to use it all over it just isn’t a cost effective to do such a thing, however if you use it to tackle problem areas, or as a face cream it really is worth it (so I guess it comes down to how you would want to use it).

If you want to find out more about STEAMCREAM, treat yourself to a tin or just have a nose pop over to the website now.

What do you think of my tin, would you like to try STEAMCREAM?
