Rehydrate your skin – Our top tips

January 27, 2022 by w b

What a fantastic Nelson summer we’re having; as much as we all love holidays and beach days, it’s easy for both to play havoc with your skin. It’s no secret that exposure to the elements can lead to dehydrated skin. But there are other reasons your skin may feel a little dry at the moment… If you’ve been more social than usual or out of your routine, it’s easy to let good habits slip. So, as we all return to work, it’s time to think about how you can rehydrate your skin. Read on for three tips to help you get your glow on again.

Rehydrate your skin – Our top three tips:

Rehydrate from the inside out:

While having your water bottle with you throughout the day is a bonus, don’t forget that there are other ways you can get a hydration boost! Start the day off well with a super hydrating breakfast smoothie.

rehydrate your skin

Combine the following in your blender and blitz until smooth for a refreshing green smoothie packed full of antioxidants.

  • 1 cup spinach
  • An apple, sliced or cubed
  • 1 cup mango, you can use frozen if it’s easier
  • 1 cup cucumber, sliced or cubed
  • A tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 tablespoon grated ginger
  • 3/4 cup water
  • a handful of ice cubes

Don’t forget to exfoliate:

There’s a popular misconception that exfoliating a dehydrated complexion will lead to further dryness and irritation. In fact, exfoliation is a crucial step in the process of rehydrating your skin. It removes the dead skin cells and increases the rate of your skin regeneration process, so your glowing skin soon shines through. Adding this step to your skincare routine also ensures your skin benefits more from moisturisers and serums.

Exfoliation doesn’t have to be harsh and abrasive. We love the Ultraceuticals Ultra Gentle Exfoliating Gel. It’s a dual-action exfoliating gel that gently removes surface impurities whilst deeply cleansing the skin to reveal a smoother, brighter complexion and minimise the appearance of pores.

Invest in a facial:

For dehydrated skin, our go-to facial is the Sothys Intensive Facial. It’s the crème de la crème of facials; this 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. Buy yours HERE.


If you’re ready to rehydrate your skin, call in to see us and find out how we can help.

Just a reminder that although the country is currently at the red traffic light setting, we are still OPEN! Our relaxation lounge, changing room, and reception areas are closed in line with government guidance. Upon arrival, please send us a text or call to let us know you have arrived and wait outside for your therapist to collect you. Please also scan in when you arrive, wear your mask and have your “My Vaccine Pass” ready.

Perfect Skin for 2022 – New Year’s Resolutions

January 6, 2022 by w b

Happy New Year to all our clients; we hope that you’re enjoying this fabulous Nelson summer! Our team is still taking a well-deserved break until January 10th. But, just to let you know that we’re thinking of you still, we thought we’d share some New Year’s resolutions to help you find perfect skin in ’22! Read on for our three top tips.

Perfect skin for 2022 – New Year’s Resolutions

1: Hit the refresh button:

The start of a new year means it’s time to hit refresh! Sometimes we forget that the most straightforward steps in skincare can have brilliant results. Hydrating from the inside out is a key to glowing skin. So, remember to up your water intake. If you’re looking for a tech tool to help you do that? The Hidrate Spark 3 smart water bottle tracks your water intake and lights up to remind you to drink through the FREE Hidrate App. Genius! And don’t forget that water isn’t the only way to feed your face, so you get a healthy glow. Check out this article from the archives that we wrote during nutrition month… It contains a whole list of healthy foods to help you in your quest for perfect skin!

2: Simplify your skincare:

The most effective skincare routine is a simple one that you’ll stick to! It’s easy to splash out $$$ on every mask, peel and serum that promises the elixir of youth! But all too often, those very same products end up buried at the back of your bathroom cabinet, unused because you don’t have the time to incorporate them into your routine, or they weren’t suitable for you. Above all, the most important thing you can do when you’re reviewing your skincare regime is ensure that you select the right products for your skin type; we can help with that. At Woman, we offer a complimentary skincare analysis so you invest wisely in skincare products that will be the most beneficial for you, and that you’ll actually use!

3: Find time for facials:

Streamlining your skincare routine with the right products for you is an excellent start on your journey to perfect skin. But, your skin changes from season to season; you might need a little extra help to really get your glow on! At Woman, we believe regular facials can help you look and feel your best all year round, whether it’s a relaxing Spa Facial, a quick monthly Ultra Express Facial or an advanced facial therapy. Our team can help you find the best maintenance facial for your needs. It’s also a good opportunity to reassess how your skincare products are working, and whether you need to incorporate anything else into your routine. We will give you honest advice and outstanding service with successful results.

Check out our full range of facials HERE.


If you’re ready to find perfect skin in 2022, we’re here to help. Talk to our therapists about the products and treatments that can help you find healthy, flawless skin.

Perfect Lips for Christmas Kisses

December 10, 2021 by w b

The festive season is almost upon us, and in the run-up to the holidays, we know that many of you will have social events planned. So, in this week’s article, we thought we’d help you with your party makeup! Yes, it’s time to get perfect lips for Christmas kisses. Read on for our top three tips.

Perfect lips Jane Iredale Lipstick Nelson

 

How to Get Perfect Lips for Christmas Kisses:

Preparation makes for a Perfect Pout:

Whether you choose a gloss, lipstick or a lip stain, having a perfect base on which to apply is key to a flawless finish. So, exfoliation and hydration are essential!

Here are a couple of product recommendations to help you with this.

Firstly, Jane Iredale has a convenient 2-in-1 product. The Sugar & Butter Lip Exfoliator/Plumper allows you to exfoliate your lips with sugar side, and then apply the lip plumper for moisture and a hint of colour.

We also love Pure Fiji’s Coconut Sugar Lip Polish. It’s another 2 in 1 product to smooth and refine lips. Coconut sugar rub and cold-pressed organic coconut and dilo oils will buff away dry, flaky skin and infuse moisture, leaving your lips soft and supple.

Lining Up:

A freshly sharpened lip pencil is an essential step in lippie application; it will enhance the natural shape of your lips and will ensure a longer-lasting finish.

Staying Power:

After applying your favourite colour, follow these three simple steps to keep your lipstick in place.

  • Blot with a clean tissue.
  • Take a second tissue and separate the two sheets, so you have a single-ply tissue. Hold this gently to your lips, then, using a brush, dust a little translucent loose powder across your lips over the tissue. We love Jane Iredale’s Amazing Matte™ Loose Finish Powder.
  • Finally, reapply a top swish of colour.

Now you have the recipe for perfect lips, call in to see us and pick up a vibrant new colour for the season. We stock a wide range of Jane Iredale lip colours, including tinted balms, lip gloss, lip stains, bullet lipsticks and lip crayons. Or contact us here and we can send products to you.

Summer Sun Ready – Your Summer Checklist

December 9, 2020 by w b

With Christmas just a couple of weeks away we’re all preparing for the holidays. This year, staycations are very much on the cards. So, you, like us, are probably looking forward to visiting Tahunanui or Kaiteriteri beach. Or maybe you’re heading over the hill to Golden Bay. Wherever you’re spending your holidays, it’s time to get summer sun ready… So, we’re sharing our Woman Beauty Summer Checklist. Read on for all the details…

Summer Sun Ready

Summer Sun Ready – Your Summer Checklist:

Treatments:

Time to bare:

You’ve probably started shedding layers of clothing already… But have you reached for your togs yet? If not, now is the time to prepare… Book your waxing appointment now. And if you need more information on how to prepare for your appointment, you might like to check out this article from the archives.

Subtly sun-kissed:

Thankfully, we are all a little more sun safety aware these days. That said, we also all feel a little more confident in our swimwear with bronzed limbs. Thankfully we have a sun-safe solution! A Sunescape spray tan will give you a feel-good boost and get you summer sun ready.

Treat those tootsies:

If your brand-new ‘Havaianas’ are beside your beach bag ready for their first outing, then sport them in style. We offer a range of pedicures to treat your toes. Plus, don’t forget to invest in a shellac add-on for longer-lasting polish. View ‘Nail Treatments’ HERE.

And now for some Essential Products:

Your tote needs more than a good book and water bottle to ensure you’re prepared for a day at the beach and summer sun ready. So, we thought we’d share three essential products you need on your summer checklist.

  • Sunscreen is an absolute beach bag essential. We recommend the Ultraceuticals SunActive SPF 50+ range. The products in this range contain a powerful antioxidant complex. They also have four hours of water resistance when used as directed.
  • Pure Fiji Dilo Rescue Body Spray is a fabulous all-rounder. Refresh, revive and replenish skin instantly with this soothing natural spray. Made with dilo, aloe and ngi grass extracts to soothe and hydrate skin for 24 hours. This product will soothe, moisturise and nourish irritated skin affected by sunburn, dehydration, insect bites, rashes or shaving.
  • Don’t forget to throw in a Jane Iredale Hydration Spray. We have several to choose from. A quick spritz will cool you down when you get hot and bothered. Perfect if you’re stopping at the top of Trafalgar for a cocktail on your way home from the beach!

There’s still time to book your appointment at Woman. Call 03 548 0030, or call in to buy your products.

Three Ways to get a Party-Ready Look!

November 10, 2020 by w b

How lovely that the days are longer and the sun is shining. December is not far away and luckily for us (unlike much of the world), we can look forward to seasonal get-togethers this year. So, it’s time to think about your party-ready look.

In this blog, we thought we’d share three ways to help you get your social glow on… Read on to discover more!

Party-Ready Look

Three Ways to get a Party-Ready Look:

Give your Skin a Festive Facial:

The key to your party-ready look lies in the preparation. So, what better way to give your skin a seasonal glow than with a festive facial. Take a look at this article from the archives to discover some of our most-loved facials. Of course, it goes without saying that you shouldn’t leave your facial until the day of your party. Instead, book this relaxing treat about a week before you want to get your glam on.

Remember all our facials include a complimentary eyebrow tidy.

Handbag Essentials:

Go from daytime to party-ready look with a few handbag essentials from Jane Iredale.

  • Tantasia® Self Tanner & Bronzer will give you a sun-kissed glow, without the exposure.
  • Be sure your makeup stays put all night with a Jane Iredale Hydration Spray. We stock a range of these refreshing spritzers, so talk to us about the best choice for you.
  • Get the perfect party pout with the Sugar&Butter Lip Exfoliator/Plumper.
  • Don’t forget your peepers… The Longest Lash Thickening and Lengthening Mascara will help you build volume for a dramatic evening look.

Prepare to Bare:

Strapless or strappy… If your party frock reveals your shoulders, back or legs then a beautiful, natural looking tan will certainly enhance your party-ready look. The Sunescape Spray Tan at Woman comes in three natural colours light, medium or dark.

Are you ready to get party-ready? Call us to book your appointment, we can’t wait to help you celebrate the season!

Spring makeup looks

October 9, 2020 by w b

Spring has arrived in Nelson, which means it’s time to refresh your makeup bag. So in this week’s article, we thought we’d share some tips to help you freshen up. We’re talking spring makeup looks.

spring makeup looks

Spring makeup looks and tips:

Colour Me Pretty for Spring:

Spring is the time to bust out the bold floral colours! Think bright and punchy pinks. A pop of colour on the lips immediately brightens up any makeup look and always gets a ton of compliments!

Getting your glow on:

As we come out of the winter months complexions are generally paler, especially given the lack of tropical holidays this year. Jane Iredale has a huge range of beautiful blushes to suit any look providing a healthy, stunning wash of colour to the cheeks.

As you pull out your favourite short-sleeve tops, Jane Iredale Tantasia Face and Body Shimmer are a must-have for any last-minute social occasions. It gives am instant glow and natural touch of colour when applied.

Spring Cleaning:

A change of season is also a good reminder it’s probably time to deep clean your make up brushes! Although it is a big chore, cleaning your make up brushes regularly and caring for them will not only help them last longer, it will also mean they perform better during makeup application.

Getting the Foundations Right:

Although foundation choice comes down to personal preference, generally as the weather warms up lighter textures and coverage on the face becomes the preferred choice for many.

The Jane Iredale Liquid Minerals foundation is a beautiful, lightweight option to switch to during the warmer months. With beads of pigment suspended in a beautiful hydrating serum, it’s a foundation and treatment for the skin all in one! It offers a light-medium coverage for day wear.

If you would like to switch to something lighter in weight but still prefer a medium coverage then Dream Tint may be right for you. Dream Tint is a tinted moisturiser that provides medium coverage and also has naturally occurring SPF (always a bonus)!

A dewy finish to the skin is a quick way to achieve a youthful glow and always looks great during the warmer months. This can be achieved with a liquid foundation, a cream blusher and highlighter! All can be applied quickly and blended out with fingers, so, it’s super easy to do in a rush.

All Day Glamour:

If you have a special occasion, you need to make sure your make up stays put for it’s always a good idea to give yourself a mini at-home facial before application.

Step 1: Exfoliate to remove build-up and congestion on the skin. This provides a smoother surface for your make up to grab on to. We recommend the Gentle Exfoliating Gel from Ultraceuticals.

Step 2: A hydrating mask such as the Replenishing Mask from Ultraceauticals or the Dilo Hydrating Mask from Pure Fiji will help to smooth out and plump up the appearance of fine lines. That means that makeup is less likely to settle into them.

Step 3: Fill your handbag with makeup touch-up solutions. Pressed powder, blotting papers and setting spray are your must-have items.

Day to Evening:

A day to evening spring makeup look is super easy to achieve. All you need is a Jane Iredale Contour Kit, your preferred night-time lipstick shade and some darker eyeshadow.

Nighttime makeup calls for more enhanced features. Dust some bronzer under the cheekbones, jawline and across the top of the forehead to provide dimension and accentuate bone structure. A touch up of blush for a slightly more dramatic effect, and lastly a deeper lip shade is usually a great way to take a look from day through to night.

Top Tools:

Let’s talk brushes… Essential tools for achieving your spring makeup look.

Having the right tools for the job make beautiful makeup so much more achievable! Lower quality brushes don’t pick up and deposit the pigments in makeup very well, and often absorb a lot more product. Whereas good quality brushes make blending out a flawless finish a task, even a beginner can achieve.

Bride’s Beauty Treatments – A Timeline

August 19, 2020 by w b

Believe it or not, spring is just around the corner, and that means wedding season is almost here! So, if you’re planning your wedding, it’s time to start thinking about your bride’s beauty treatments. At Woman Beauty in Nelson, we can help you look and feel your best on your special day. In this week’s article, we thought we would share a timeline to help you plan your treatments.

Bride's Beauty Treatments

Bride’s Beauty Treatments – A Timeline

3 – 6 Months Before:

Sort your Skincare Routine:

Like everything about your big day, preparation is key. And if you start preparing your skin about 16 weeks out, you’re going to get fabulous results. At this stage, it’s often wise to invest in one of our more advanced facials. Our experienced therapists will be able to assess your skin’s condition and recommend a course of treatments if necessary. They’ll also be able to advise you on the correct product to address any skin concerns you might have.

A Blueprint for Brows:

Beautifully shaped brows take careful cultivation. Book in regular shaping appointments from now until about a week before your wedding day. That way you’ll ensure you have picture-perfect brows that wow on your big day!

Shape Up:

A regular manicure from now until just a couple of days before your wedding will make sure your nails are in great shape.

2 Months Before:

Trial & Test:

Now is the time to trial and test everything for your big day. Book a spray tan to make sure you are happy with your chosen shade. Book a wedding make-up trial to make decisions about shades and colours.

Get your Glow On:

About eight weeks out is also a good time to book another facial. The Sothys Hydra 3ha Facial or the Advanced Ultra Signature Facial will restore, reactivate and rejuvenate your skin. Further preparing it for your big day.

Approximately 1 Week Before:

Fight the Fuzz:

Need we say more? This critical step in your list of your bride’s beauty treatments needs to be carefully scheduled. There’s a balance to strike, you want to be as smooth as possible, but also need to avoid any redness or irritation. Aim to be plucked and waxed around four days before the day!

To Dye For:

Any treatments that include colours that need to settle in, we’re talking spray tans, brows and eyelashes should be scheduled in this final week. Generally around two days before your wedding day.

And Relax:

One of the things about planning a wedding that nobody tells you is that it is hard work! Book a massage or spa day to recharge your batteries ahead of the main event.

1 Day Before:

It’s time for your final mani and pedi.

On the Day:

Time to get your face on and enjoy your special day.

Post-Lockdown Beauty Treatments

June 4, 2020 by w b

At Woman, we love the fact that we can welcome you back to our Nelson Day Spa for your post-lockdown beauty treatments. We have a few new practices in place to keep you safe (find the details here). Many of you have visited us for maintenance treatments over the last two weeks. So, in this post, we thought we’d share some of our more popular post-lockdown beauty treatments to inspire your next visit.

post-lockdown beauty treatments nelson

Popular Post-Lockdown Beauty Treatments:

Fighting the Fuzz

During the lockdown, we understand that you might have resorted to the razor. You may even have regrettably delved into the realms of home waxing… It’s a messy affair, isn’t it?! But now we’re back on deck lots of you are recommencing your regular waxing routines. If you’re not, now is the time to consider booking regular maintenance appointments. With consistent waxing, you could find that hair regrowth is both finer and slower. So, eventually, you may even be able to leave it a little longer between appointments.

Happy Hands

Some of you spent lockdown hiding your fingernails out of Zoom shot… So, understandably manicures have been a must-have post-lockdown beauty treatment. We know that elbow-bumping is more popular than shaking hands these days. But that doesn’t mean you should forego the fabulous first impression that well-kept hands can make. For longer-lasting results, don’t forget to book a shellac manicure.

Favourite Facials

Many of you will have been makeup-free over lockdown. While that can have some benefits for your skin, it still has to contend with a seasonal transition as we head into colder months.

If you only manage to fit in a facial a few times a year, then the change of season is the perfect time to squeeze one in. Firstly, it will help prepare your skin for the harsh environmental factors it’s sure to encounter as the temperature changes. Secondly, it’s an excellent opportunity for one of our therapists to review your skin. We can advise you on any products we think will benefit your autumn and winter skincare routine.


Alert Level 2 means that you can connect and socialise with your friends and family again. Don’t let a lack of maintenance keep you hidden away. Visit Woman Beauty Nelson for your post-lockdown beauty treatments.
