I was reacquainted with Steamcream just before Christmas, delighted to see it back in the UK, now, in time for Valentines Day, I am introducing you the Perfect Partnership of the Cleansing Balm and Rose Absolute Moisturiser.
My favourite part of skincare is cleansing and I love a cleansing balm. From Steamcream you have a Cleansing Balm which is described as being highly moisturised and it comes packaged inside a wonderfully branded Steamcream tin, which those who have come across the brand before, will immediately spot.
This cleansing balm has been blended with highly moisturising sugar squalene, antioxidant Grapeseed Oil, Almond Oil and Oak Kernal Oil which together creates a 3-phase balm to gently and effectively remove dirt, grime, makeup and other impurities which lurk on the surface of the skin. Anyone who lives here in London will be all too aware as to what a day wandering around the city does to the skin when it comes to 'taking the day off'.
The 3-phase balm which I mentioned above works as follows: Phase 1: The Balm Phase. Inside the time is a solid balm, white in colour, you need a small amount, and the advice is a grape sized amount which you gentle apply to your skin. As this point Phase 2, known as the Oil Phase comes into action because as your skin warms the balm, it gently turns from a solid to an oil and it is this stage that gently works it way into your skin to cleanse and remove those impurities. The final stage, Phase 3, which is the Milk Phase occurs when you start to rinse your skin with warm water and that oil turns to a milky liquid and with it, everything it has removed from your skin as you have massaged the solid balm, which then turned into an oil across your skin.
Once you have completed your cleanse, the team at Steamcream then introduce you to the second step of The Perfect Partnership with the most wonderful Rose Absolute moisturiser. This is one of Steamcream's seasonal products which has been developed for the Winter months.
Anyone who has used Steamcream before will know that it is a lovely rich cream, which is not only lightweight in texture, but incredibly moisturising for the skin. The Rose Absolute version, which is packaged in the most beautiful rose designed tin and is perfect for Valentines Day.
As its name suggests, this cream is blended with four key ingredients which include:
- Shea Butter - A deeply-nourishing emollient which absorbs easily into the skin and it also helps to prevent moisture from evaporating from the skin, which in these colder months, we all need.
- Damask Rose Flower Extract which not only promotes skin firmness, smoothness and lustre, but it also helps to restore the skin’s natural balance as well as to provide hydration.
- Damask Rose Flower Wax has highly moisturising properties, supporting the skin’s natural barrier function to prevent further water evaporation, leading to firmer, more lustrous skin.
- Damask Rose Flower Water is extracted from steam distillation and known for its skin purifying and youth-boosting properties.
Putting all of these together, not only does this cream have the most amazing fresh rose scent, which is not too over-powering.
Together the Steamcream Cleansing Balm and Rose Absolute Moisturising Cream make the most delightful duo, or as it has been said - The Perfect Partnership. They can both be purchased individually or as a bundle.
