Are you looking for an effective ALL-IN-ONE Moisturiser? Allow me to introduce STEAMCREAM designed for the face, body, and hands (and also the hair, but I’ll get on to that part later). This cream is all about simplicity. Even the most sensitive skin benefits from its calming ingredients.
Firstly the one thing I’m sure you’ll notice is how beautiful the packaging is. Steamcream collaborates with designers, makeup artists, and industry experts to create these beautifully designed tins. Collaborations have included inspirational names such as Swarovski and makeup artist Ruby Hammer.
The three designs which stood out to me in particular were the following:
LES SYLPHIDES
Les Sylphides is a simple but beautiful ballet with enchanting music by Chopin. Feel as beautiful as a ballerina from tip to pointed toe by massaging Les Sylphides cream all over your body. It also makes the perfect gift for all ballerina’s and ballet teachers alike!
CACHETTE
CACHETTE is the perfect accessory for your handbag, makeup case or clutch purse – making sure you put your best foot forward by keeping skin smooth, supple and radiant. The perfect gift for that impossibly stylish friend or as a little something for yourself to keep you looking and feeling fabulous!
VANITY
Another stunning design from Japanese artist Maki Kahori, this gorgeous deep blue chrysanthemum tin will be the star of any outfit. You will not want to hide the VANITY tin away in your purse, and with all the hard working ingredients and easy 75g size you will think of any excuse to take it out and top up!
Each Streamcream has its own unique story which is something great about the brand, the tins are so beautiful they look wonderful on a dressing table or in your bathroom.
The beautiful tins are long treasured after the product is finished but, the real beauty is what is beneath the lid.
It’s hailed as the “Miracle Moisturiser” by the beauty elite due to its healing properties, Steamcream uses the best quality raw materials, directly from sustainable resources making it effective, ethical, and affordable.
Each Steamcream is £12:95 each, really affordable and really effective.
A MAKEUP KIT ESSENTIAL
Looking for a great Primer? Steamcream also acts as a primer, it’s so lightweight you can wear it under your makeup. You can also mix your favourite foundation into the cream to make a homemade BB cream! It’s soothing oatmilk base, antiseptic lavender oil and calming chamomile also helps to sooth red and irritated skin.
Keeping the skin hydrated is so important before putting on any makeup, Steamcream offers effective hydration with palm free glycerine, almond oil, jojoba oil and cocoa butter.
A NATURAL BEAUTY HERO
HEAT RELIEF
Steamcream is the perfect little item to take on holiday with you, if you feel your skin is hotting up, pop a stash of Steamcream into the fridge for cooling relief in an instant! Handy!
It’s also a perfect size for your beach bag, hand bag, or glove box! A great on-the-go all in one Moisturiser!
HAIR CARE
Work Steamcream through the ends of wet hair when bathing to seal in moisture and combat split ends and frizz. After trying this the other evening my hair was left silky smooth and certainly felt the difference. I’ll happily use this as a serum before I dry my hair.
BABY CARE
If you’re a mum you can of course pamper yourself with Steamcream, however you’ll be happy to know you can also sooth and calm your baby’s skin for example nappy rash, and heat rash should he or she catch the sun.
CREATE AN EXFOLIATOR
Add some oatmeal to create a gentle exfoliator, add some rock salt or sugar to steamcream to use as a body scrub!
PERFECTLY SMOOTH LEGS
Steamcream can also act as a shaving balm, use to prep the skin before shaving to ensure a smooth glide or apply as a post shave balm to sooth and calm irritation caused by a razor.
I adore this face and body moisturiser and use it every day and everywhere. It’s easily absorbed and luxurious and i really like the lavender fragrance. Also the little tin fits perfectly in my handbags!
– Myleene Klass
I just love STEAMCREAM as it is a fantastic affordable moisturiser that can be used on the face and body, I always have this in my backstage kit as a quick fix for dry skin, it’s so light that it is quickly absorbed by the skin

This Multi Purpose Miracle in a Tin is one of my new found favourites of 2014. The tins are collectable which is lovely, and you can experiment using STEAMCREAM in different ways. My next mission is to make a BB cream for myself, watch this space! (that’s if I can take it away from my cats 😉
Benefits:
Cocoa Butter Rich in anti-oxidants and Vitamin E helping the skin defend against anti ageing. Traditionally used to sooth wrinkles and stretch marks
Palm Tree Glycerine locks in moisture to help skin retain its softness and flexibility. It also helps draw the Orange Flower Water deeper into the skins surface
Organic Jojoba Oil is great for acne as it helps to dissolve excess sebum on the skin whilst keeping skin hydrated, supple and smooth
Lavender Essential Oil calms, balances and revives irritated, tired and neglected skin. It is also an antiseptic, anti-bacterial and exceedingly relaxing
Rose Absolute helps to keep mature skin soft and supple, easing dryness. Effective on hard skin such as elbows, heels and knees.
Neroli Essential Oil helps with the skins elasticity, keeping it supple and young looking. Like rose oil, it’s good for keeping dry, sensitive and mature skins in great condition.
Exciting news! Two new SteamCream designs are set to launch on the 1st of October.

Cat lover like me? This one is for you. It’s ever so sweet, it’s called Catch Me with a pretty little design of a little black cat. It’s set to launch in October time for Halloween!
