Sothys Paris at Woman Beauty Nelson

by

As Nelson’s exclusive stockist, we have some gorgeous Sothys Paris facials and body treatments available at Woman. An internationally renowned brand, Sothys Paris has been a leading innovator in the quest for perfection and beauty for women and men for over seventy years.
The key principles which govern Sothys and everything they do to this day are; a commitment to Science, Nature, and the Treatment Experience.
At Woman Beauty in Nelson, we’re extremely proud to be able to uphold Sothys commitment to the Treatment Experience. To help you make the most of these treatments we can also order any products from the Sothys range. These include products from their extensive makeup range. Simply ask at reception and we can order whatever you would like.

Sothys Paris products and treatments are especially suitable if you have sensitive skin. They offer ultra-gentle textures specially formulated to soothe your skin.

The hero ingredient

Water is an essential component of cosmetic formulas. In the Spa Thermal Water formulas, developed by Sothys advanced research, water becomes an active ingredient in its own right. And the star ingredient in this range.

How it works

Spa thermal water helps to inhibit epidermal receptors, responsible for sensations of pain and itching on the skins surface. By blocking these receptors, spa thermal water helps to re balance the hypersensitivity of sensitive or sensitised skin. Resetting the tolerance threshold.

The Soothing Range with Spa Thermal Water, has been specially formulated with additional complementary ingredients to protect, soothe and balance sensitive skin.

Winter Special – Sothys Hydra 3Ha Facial

The crème de la crème of facials. This NEW Hydra 3Ha treatment creates a unique triple Hyaluronic acid approach to restore, reactivate and rejuvenate all the key elements of skin hydration. 71% increased skin moisture levels after just one treatment! We recommend three treatments over two months.

Beauty treatments in Nelson – Winter’s most wanted!

by

Winter is here and with that comes the desire to rug up and enter hibernation mode. For some, that means an excuse to ease up on essential body maintenance, although that’s not a course we’d recommend… If you let that fuzz run free as temperatures freeze, you’ll find it harder to take back control in springtime. In honour of cooler temperatures, we thought we’d share some of winter’s most wanted beauty treatments.

beauty treatments nelson

  • Let’s get warmed up – A massage is a perfect way to warm up in winter. For extra toastiness try the Aromastone Massage, this blissful head to toe spa treatment uses hot stones and essential oils. Buy yours here.
  • Saving face – Your skin receives no let-up from the harsh UV rays over winter, especially in beautiful Nelson where we still have bright sunny days during the cooler months. Add to this the drying effect of wind and the lack of humidity, and your skin can become dry, red, irritated, and lacklustre. Facials are popular beauty treatments all year round, but if you want to feel like you’ve managed a winter escape, try the Pure Fiji Island Facial. We’ll take you on a journey with an ancient blend of powerful plant actives and exotic drift nut oils combined with the latest in dermatological revelations, producing phenomenal targeted facial care solutions. Buy yours here.
  • Get your glow on – Heading to a special mid-winter event in your cocktail frock? Then make sure your skin shimmers with a Sunescape Spray Tan. This beautiful natural looking tan has no harmful chemicals and is available in light, medium and dark. Spray tans are great winter beauty treatments for a quick pick me up! Buy yours here.
  • Who’s looking at you baby – If you’re wrapped in merino from torso to toes… Make your peepers work for you! Our eyebrow and eyelash tinting and taming services are a great way to help frame your face. These beauty treatments are a must all year round! Buy yours here. Ask us to help you select your new Jane Iredale mineral makeup for eyes. The autumn and winter range is stunning, we can make your eyes pop with beautiful colours, or we can show you how to create sultry smoky eyes.

 

Omnilux in Nelson – Let there be light!

by

As we head into Autumn it’s time to think about treating dehydrated skin and improving an uneven skin tone. Luckily, at Woman Beauty Day Spa, we can help you do exactly that, while also improving the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles (#winwin situation), by using Omnilux LED Light Therapy.

omnilux

If you’ve never experienced Omnilux before then you’re missing out on one of our most popular anti-ageing treatments. In this article we thought we’d answer some of the questions we get asked most frequently about this treatment:

  • What does Omnilux do?
    This therapy will improve both skin tone and texture, it can help reduce pigmentation changes or scarring from acne and other wounds.
  • How does it work?
    The light technology works because cells within the body contain receptors that absorb light naturally. When these receptors absorb light it kick starts a cellular response. Different wavelengths stimulate different cellular responses. Omnilux has developed ReviveTM (red light) and PlusTM (white light) for very specific wavelengths and depths at which they penetrate in order to achieve their clinically proven results.
    Omnilux PlusTM is used in conjunction with Omnilux ReviveTM for periorbital wrinkles, wound healing and psoriasis. Or alone for muscular pain. Both ReviveTM and PlusTM target skin cells within the skin that are responsible for supportive structures including collagen and elastin. It will also help people that have problematic skin types.
  • Is it painful?
    The therapy is safe, pain free and non-invasive. Consequently there is no need for recovery time following your treatment. Once you become accustomed to the red light of the ReviveTM it can be a warm and pleasant experience.
  • How long does the treatment take?
    A single treatment session takes thirty minutes, if you combine it with our Revive Me (Omnilux) Facial, your treatment takes sixty minutes.
  • How many sessions of Omnilux LED Light Therapy will I need?
    This varies from person to person, but as a guide we suggest around 10 treatments, over a period of five weeks.
  • How soon will I see results?
    You may see some results during your course of treatment but optimum results will be seen several weeks after your treatment. The light stimulates the natural processes of rejuvenation and continues to work after the treatment has been carried out.
  • How long will the results last?
    After your initial course of Omnilux you may continue to have top up booster treatments every six weeks or so to maintain a revitalised and refreshed look.

Call in to Woman Beauty Day Spa Nelson for a consultation, if you would like to know more or to discuss a treatment plan tailored for you.

Omnilux (LED) Light Therapy $80 – timer 30 mins – Or enquire for costs of a course.
Revive Me Omnilux Facial $155 – timer 60 mins.

Autumn in Nelson – Don’t put an end to pedicures…

by

Autumn has definitely arrived in Nelson, which means that you are probably shelving your sandals and jandals for another year… But that doesn’t mean it’s time to put an end to pedicures.

pedicures nelson

Here are six reasons why you should continue with regular pedicures even though our Nelson winter may be just around the corner.

  • It’s not all about colour – We won’t deny that glorious shades of perfect pink, classic coral and nifty neons always enhance the beauty of your feet. But pedicures are about more than the colour of your toenails. A pedicure will also help to nourish your feet. That’s an important job, no matter what the season. Your feet take between 8,000 and 10,000 steps a day, and from autumn you’ll likely be keeping them cooped up in tights and shoes. So give them a treat, and let them run free at Woman Beauty in Nelson. You’ll breathe a sigh of relief and so will your toes!
  • It’s always the season for stress relief –  A complimentary dose of relaxation comes with every spa pedicure, with the added indulgence of a luxury massage of lower leg and foot.
  • Hosiery is expensive – Unkempt toe nails can play havoc with your tights and socks. Giving up your pedicure as soon as autumn hits Nelson is a false economy. The money you might save on appointments, you will most likely spend in Farmers, and let’s face it… Which is more relaxing?!
  • Keep the nasties at bay – Our eagle-eyed therapists have been known to spot early signs of corns, bunions and fungal infections. We can’t treat them, but we can warn you about them, so you can get them treated!
  • It’s always the right season for a catch up with your girlfriends – The pedicure lounge at Woman Beauty Nelson can accommodate three people at once, it’s the perfect way to spend a weekend morning with your besties, before you head out for lunch.
  • Summer might surprise you – With the extraordinary weather we’ve been having in Nelson this year, we could be back to record temperatures next week, and you could be searching for your sandals once again! Here’s hoping!

Your holiday countdown beauty checklist

by

Easter is quite literally around the corner, and if you’ve booked an Island getaway over the holiday period this post is for you… It’s your holiday countdown beauty checklist!

holiday countdown beauty checklist

Face your Feet – You might not have placed your sandals back in the closet yet, so the chances are your feet may be in fairly good shape… But sometimes wearing jandals and bare feet over the summer months can lead to hard skin and cracked heels… So before you head away treat yourself to a spa pedicure. Be sure to choose a Shellac finish, so your painted toes stay in tip-top condition over your holiday. Soul to Sole, the ultimate treat for feet, is currently one of our Autumn specials, and a great way to relax into holiday mode!

Fight the Fuzz – Check out our range of waxing treatments HERE. If you’re heading to the Islands, we’d recommend a full leg and bikini wax, so you feel perfectly confident in your togs. Don’t be tempted to pull out the razor, as the heat and sand can irritate skin with cuts or nicks. Try to plan your wax appointment at least three days before you head away, as your skin will need to calm. We stock the Pure Fiji Dilo Rescue range that can help to soothe, settle, nourish and replenish freshly waxed skin; ask us about it at your appointment.

Holiday Hands – A few days before your holiday is also a great time to give your hands a holiday makeover. A mini manicure takes just thirty-minutes so you can book one in your lunch break. Again, go for a Shellac finish to be sure your fingers stay flawlessly finished throughout your break.

Get your Glow On – Get a head start on beach duties! A Sunescape spray tan will give you a feel-good boost as you head into holiday mode. Your spray tan should always be the last box you tick on your holiday countdown beauty checklist. You might want to think about going a shade darker pre-holiday, as the darker the tan, the longer it lasts. Don’t forget to stock up on your sun creams and lotions; we have a fabulous range at Woman.

Call us today, and we’ll book your appointments for your holiday countdown beauty checklist!

Autumn – Let’s kiss and makeup with Jane Iredale!

by

Autumn is here, which means it’s time to clear out your makeup pouch and make way for new season colours. We’re proud to be the Nelson stockist of the beautiful range of Jane Iredale mineral makeup and can help you select the perfect shades for your new season look.

Mineral makeups are made from pure, crushed minerals and other natural components. So they don’t contain any nasty ingredients or toxic chemicals that are often the norm in other standard makeup ranges. 

You may have spent the summer carrying around your bronzing pallet to give you the beach babe look, without exposure to harmful UV rays, but as we head into the cooler climes of Autumn your skin texture and tone naturally changes, and so too should your makeup selection.

autumn makeup trends

Rosy Glow – Your grandma would tell you rosy cheeks are a sign of good health, but they just got super fashionable! A natural rosy glow is the perfect complexion selection throughout autumn and winter.

Berrylicious Lips – Swap your summer nudes for deeper, warmer colours over the autumn and winter seasons. Red lipstick is always a classic, but if you’re going for a bold lip colour in the daytime, keep everything else as natural as possible.

A Twinkle In Your Eyes – Brighten up a dull autumn day with a little sparkle of your own. A rose gold or classic gold shimmer eyeshadow is the perfect way to update a subtle smoky eye.

Some Things Never Go Out Of Fashion – Natural-looking beauty and glowing skin are always on trend, and regular facials will ensure you have the perfect canvas for your autumn makeup palette. Check out our Advanced Signature Facial, with Free Gift Autumn Special. Don’t make the mistake of thinking natural means poorly maintained! Starting with an eyelash, eyebrow tint and tidy is a great way to frame your autumn makeup look. Buy yours HERE.

Want to update your makeup pouch? Call in and see us, foundation colour match and advice is always complimentary at Woman!
