The Shower Spa

The Esteam shower spa

Turn your shower into a spa in five simple steps

You already shower every day. With a snap of aromatherapy, a proper exfoliating wash and the right thing on your hair, those ten minutes become the part of the day you look forward to. Here's how.

Natural, vegan & cruelty-free steamers · 9 essential-oil scents

How it works

Five steps, about ten minutes

Step one

Set the mood & choose your scent

Dim the lights if you can and put your phone out of reach. Then pick a scent for the moment you're in, because a morning shower and an evening one want different things.

Morning: to wake up

Eucalyptus, Rosemary or Peppermint

Evening: to wind down

Lavender or Camomile

Keep one of each and you'll always have the right one to hand.

Step two

Awaken the senses

Snap your Esteam Shower Steamer to release the essential oils, then set it on the shower floor just outside the direct spray. As the warm water reaches it, the scent rises with the steam.

Make it last the whole shower: a steamer sitting in the spray dissolves before you've rinsed your hair. The Lotus Holder lifts it clear of the water so it releases slowly.

Step three

Cleanse & refresh

Take your time here. An African Net Sponge stretches long enough to reach your back, whips any body wash into a rich lather and gently exfoliates as you go, leaving skin soft and smooth.

Why not a loofah? The open net dries quickly between showers, so it stays far more hygienic, and it's long-lasting. Suitable for all skin types.

Step four

Care for your hair

Two kinds of shower, two pieces. Most people end up wanting both.

Luxury Shower Cap

A soft microfibre lining and secure fit keep moisture out, so a blow-dry survives the shower and frizz stays down. Reusable, unlike the plastic ones.

Microfibre Hair Wrap

Highly absorbent microfibre takes the water out faster and more gently than a rough towel, so there's less frizz, less breakage and less time under the hairdryer.

Step five

Take the feeling with you

Step out slowly. Self-care isn't measured by how much time you have; it's about making the most of the moments that already exist. Then do it again tomorrow.

Make it a habit, not a treat: each steamer is made for one long shower, so keep a box in the bathroom and your favourite scent is always ready.

Questions

How do I use a shower steamer?

Snap it to activate the essential oils, then place it on the shower floor just out of the direct spray, or in a Lotus Holder. The warm water releases the scent into the steam as it slowly dissolves.

How long does one steamer last?

Each steamer is made for one long shower. Keeping it out of the direct spray, ideally in the Lotus Holder, stops it dissolving early. You can also break one into pieces to use over several showers.

Shower cap or hair wrap: which do I need?

The cap is for showers where you're not washing your hair; it keeps a blow-dry intact. The wrap is for after you wash, drying hair faster and more gently than a towel. The Hair Care Duo gives you both for £35.

What are the steamers made from?

Natural, vegan and cruelty-free ingredients with essential oils and no synthetic dyes. Choose from nine scents: Eucalyptus, Jasmine, Lavender, Rosemary, Rose, Tea Tree, Camomile, Peppermint and Coconut.
