Winter Skin Saviour: SteamCream Limited Edition Ume Ni Uguisu Tin

Wednesday 22 January 2014

SteamCream's new Limited Edition tin combines two of my favourite things; Japanese style art and a wonderful multi-purpose, winter skin saviour.
Throughout the year, SteamCream release a plethora of new designs for their iconic product which comes packaged in a recyclable aluminum tin.  All of the designs are Limited Edition, and the new Ume Ni Uguisu tin is a beauty.  I absolutely love Japanese style art, and the inspiration behind this tin comes from a Japanese idiom meaning 'great match'.  The design features the Japanese plum (Ume) and the Bush Warbler (Uguisu) which both symbolise new beginnings, as traditionally their arrival announces the beginning of Spring.

If you're new to the cult world of SteamCream, it's essentially a fantastic multi-purpose cream that can be used on the face, body and hands.  As the name may suggest, all of the ingredients are fused together with a special shot of hot, bubbling steam.  It's this unique method which gives SteamCream its lovely texture; the cream is thick but lightweight at the same time, absorbing quickly into the skin, without any greasy residue.  Its key ingredients, such as Oatmeal Infusion, Almond Oil, Orange Flower Water, Cocoa Butter and Lavender Oil, help to relieve dry skin and keeps it hydrated for longer, making it one of my favourite winter skin saviours to reach for.  I also find it useful for calming down eczema flare ups as it's very similar to LUSH's Dream Cream (IIRC, SteamCream was created by LUSH's CEO).  

Whilst the product itself is great, those collectable tins are certainly an eye catching selling point, as well as being practical for travelling / carrying in your handbag.  The tins can be re-used to store all manner of small bits and bobs once you've used the cream up.  I currently have a few on my dressing table where I keep hair grips and sewing stuff.

The new Ume Ni Uguisu SteamCream* is priced at £12.95 and is available for a limited time only.  To purchase this and other designs, visit steamcream.co.uk

  1. This is such a gorgeous colour scheme, the tins are always amazing! I've always kind of avoided Steam Cream because I thought that it was very expensive but I'm trying to invest in more high quality products so I should probably buy myself a tub to try it out!

    1. Definitely one to try out - I've repurchased these so many times and usually buy them when I see them on offer or in some kind of sale. If you're using them just as a face moisturiser or hand cream, the tins last ages! xx

  7. Oh such Beautiful packaging! ... and very interesting point on the eczema. Orange Flower is particularly soothing for inflammatory conditions and oats are high in naturally occurring tochoperols (Vitamin E). A drop or two of Neroli essential oil in the bath and a daily bowl of porridge are great allies in taking care of patchy, winter eczema!

  11. This is such a beautiful design and I'd love to give Steamcream a try but unfortunately as the cream contains lavender oil I can't as I'm allergic to it :(

  12. I've tried SteamCream but the lavender scent was a little too much for me - shame really as otherwise it was quite nice and I love the decorated tins.
