Teenage Skin and How We Help

February 27, 2020 by w b

At Woman Beauty in Nelson, our experienced therapists can help your skin look its best, no matter what your age. In this week’s article we thought we’d focus on teenage skin and how we help.

Teenage Skin & How We Help:

The teenage years are full of hormonal changes, and these can have an adverse effect on teenage skin. Characteristically, teenage skin sees an increase in sebum production, resulting in oily skin and sometimes, acne.

Skincare for teenage skin:

Firstly, when it comes to teenage skin issues, prevention is always better than cure. At Woman, we’re proud to be exclusive Nelson stockists of the premier range of facial cosmeceuticals, Ultraceuticals.

Ultraceuticals is one of Australia’s pre-eminent cosmeceutical brands. The range offers professional-grade products formulated to address major skin concerns, including acne. So, the result is your best-ever skin, no matter what your age!

Cosmeceuticals contain active ingredients (10%- 25%). These ingredients make actual changes in the second layer of the skin and work by getting the skin to function and perform as it should. The ingredients in cosmeceuticals also help to look after and protect the important lipid barrier of the skin, allowing for better penetration of the active ingredients.

It’s never too soon to encourage your teenager to adopt a healthy skincare regime. Do call into the spa, we are always happy to discuss any teenage skin concerns and recommend suitable products.

First Facial:

Here at Woman we specialise and are trained in advanced skincare facials. We will give you honest advice and outstanding service with successful results. A facial isn’t just an anti-ageing treatment, the right facial can also be beneficial for teenagers.

If you know a teenager who suffers from red or sensitive teenage skin the Sothys Soothing Facial could be just the ticket.

Additionally, if you are in your latter teenage years and would like to address acne scarring, talk to us about Dermapen 4 treatment.

Once again, we are happy to offer advice on the right facial for your skin concerns, just call into the spa for advice or contact us HERE.

Why you need a summer facial

January 22, 2020 by w b

In the middle of summer, we understand that it’s tempting to let your regular facials slip. Your skin feels like it has a radiant summer glow. It doesn’t necessarily feel tight and dry like it does over the winter months. Plus, you enjoy the warming relaxation of facials in winter, but don’t feel you need that rejuvenating comfort as much in the summertime. But you do! In this week’s blog article, we thought we’d share three reasons why you need a summer facial!

Why you need a summer facial:

Repair your skin:

A weekend spent at the beach, camping or hiking can take its toll on your skin. Gritty dust and sand, combined with layers of sunscreen can clog your pores and leave you glowing for all the wrong reasons. But that doesn’t mean you should stop enjoying fun summer weekends! Just be sure to book in a facial to repair any skin damage.

Our popular 02 Facial rejuvenates your skin with hyperbaric oxygen technology. A beautiful calming treatment incorporating anti-oxidants and vitamins; it provides instant results you can see and feel.

Protect your skin:

Even with sunscreen, sun exposure will lead to dehydrated skin. While dryness might not seem as obvious in the summertime your skin will still be parched. When your skin is dehydrated, it creates oil to make up for the missing water. This, in turn, can lead to breakouts and pimples. So, the best way to avoid this is to ensure your skin is suitably hydrated.

The Sothys Hydra 3Ha Facial is the perfect solution. As the crème de la crème of facials, it creates a unique triple Hyaluronic acid approach to restore, reactivate and rejuvenate all the key elements of skin hydration. It offers 70% increased skin moisture levels after just one treatment.

It’s always time to relax:

At Woman Beauty Day Spa every facial comes with a healthy dose of relaxation, and that includes our summer facials. We keep our rooms at the perfect temperature for you to be able to lie back and drift off.

Autumn and Winter Skincare – Your ‘To Do’ List

May 22, 2019 by w b

As the seasons roll around once again, it’s time to start thinking about the changes you might need to make to your autumn and winter skincare. To help you prepare for the colder months, we decided to publish a handy ‘to do’ list. Read on to discover how you can save your skin during the Nelson winter season!

Autumn and Winter Skincare – The Woman Beauty Nelson ‘To Do’ List:

Start the new season with a facial

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. View our list of facials HERE.

Clear out the cupboard

Your skin will start to dry out in the colder months so you’ll rightly be tempted to slip some extra serums into your routine. But if you’re reaching to the back of the bathroom cupboard for products you’ve only used seasonally, do be sure to check when you initially opened them. Remember, all skincare products have a shelf life. They will lose their effectiveness beyond this point. So, the start of the new season is a good time to have a clear out. We know skincare products can be expensive, so do talk to us about getting the best bang for your buck during your seasonal switchover.

Get beautiful skin from within

Hydration is vital through the cooler months, but we know how tricky it is to keep up your water intake when it’s freezing outside, and you just want to wrap your hands around a warm coffee cup! Choose herbal teas for warming goodness. Or make a broth-based soup with delicious winter veggies.

Don’t ditch the SPF

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. So don’t ditch the sunscreen!

Mix up your makeup

Just as you update your wardrobe in summer, you might want to review your makeup bag. Swap your summer nudes for deeper, warmer lip and cheek colours over the autumn and winter seasons. Talk to us about the beautiful range of Jane Iredale mineral makeup. We can help you select the perfect shades for your new season look.

Need more autumn or winter skin care advice? Call in and see us. Our professional team of therapists are trained to meet exacting international standards. Their continual development and training mean that we can be sure they will always offer you the best service and advice.

New Year Resolutions for Skincare

January 10, 2019 by w b

Happy New Year to you from the team at Woman! We hope you’ve had a wonderful festive holiday. At this time of year it’s customary to reflect on the past twelve months, and work out how you’re going to achieve your goals in the year ahead. It’s common to make goals around health and fitness, but let’s think about looking after the largest organ you have… Your skin! We thought it might be timely to share some skincare New Year resolutions that will help you glow with vitality in 2019!

Five New Year resolutions for skincare

Resolve to find your perfect facial sunscreen
It’s important to factor quality ‘facial’ sunscreen into your daily skincare routine. Ultraceuticals UV Protective Daily Moisturiser Range are the perfect way to stay protected every day.
Choose from:
- Non greasy SPF 50+ for all skin types
- Sheer tint SPF 30+ for all skin types
- Hydrating SPF 30+ for dry to normal skin
- Mattifying SPF 30+ for dry to normal skin, no chalky residue, non greasy
Resolve to hydrate from the inside out
Drinking plenty of water will flush out toxins, giving you a healthy glow. Your skin will feel plumper and softer. Remember to include plenty of hydrating foods in your diet too. Watermelon, cucumber, berries and green leaves can all help to increase levels of hydration.
Resolve to keep it clean
Sounds simple… But how about if you’ve not worn a scrap of makeup all day? The answer is ‘yes’! Even if you’ve had your weekend fresh face on. The importance of your cleansing routine can never be underestimated. It’s not just about removing makeup. You come face to face (pun intended) with tiny particles of pollutants all day, evey day! And when it comes to cleaning, don’t forget your makeup brushes. These babies can become hotbeds for gunk and bacteria, so treat them well and give them some regular maintenance.
Resolve to get regular facials
A regular skincare cleansing routine is a good start, but as your skin changes from season to season you might need a little extra help to really get your glow on! At Woman we specialise and are trained in advanced skincare facials. We will give you honest advice and outstanding service with successful results. Check out our full range of facials HERE.
Resolve to make your makeup mineral
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. This means they are gentler on your skin and won’t clog your pores or cause breakouts. At Woman we’re proud to be exclusive Nelson stockist for leading mineral makeup brand, Jane Iredale.

Call in and talk to us about your skincare New Year resolutions!

Get party ready in Nelson

December 12, 2018 by w b

The festive season is almost upon us, which means it’s time to get ‘party ready’. At Woman Beauty Day Spa in Nelson we can help you do exactly that!

Five ways to get party ready in Nelson

Get your glow on
Who doesn’t want refreshed, luminous skin for party nights? We know it’s a busy time of year, but that doesn’t mean you can’t give your skin a pre-Christmas treat with a facial. The Ultra Power Facial includes a cleanse, peel and mask. It takes just thirty minutes so can be scheduled into your lunchtime. If you can spare a little more time, the Advanced Signature Facial utilises advanced serums, peels and masks to correct skin imperfections. Check out our full range of facials HERE.
Brows that WOW and luscious lashes
Professional brow and lash tinting will add depth and colour to your eyes. Say adios to light, feathery eyebrows and spindly eyelashes. Let our professional beauty therapists give you party ready peepers with an Eyelash and Eyebrow Tint and Tidy – book yours here!
Prepare for your party frock
Step into your summer party frock feeling fuzz-free and lightly tanned. For perfectly smooth party legs invest in a full-leg wax. And if you don’t want to wear tights but still want a flawless golden glow a Sunescape spray tan is just the ticket!
Meet and greet with a mani
Make a marvellous first impression when you’re shaking hands with new acquaintances. Again, a mini manicure takes just thirty-minutes so you can squeeze one in to your lunch break. Go for a Shellac finish to be sure your fingers stay flawlessly finished throughout the festive season.
Get your glam on
Parties are the ideal opportunity to step up the glamour a little (or a lot!), so why not get party ready by updating your make up look? Here at Woman Beauty in Nelson, we are proud to offer you Jane Iredale make up. This high-performing mineral cosmetics range provides effective skincare benefits with modern, wearable colour and a soft-focus, luminous effect that brings your natural beauty to light.

To ensure none of you miss out on appointments before we close for our annual break, we have called in Holly Poirier to help in the lead up to Christmas. Be sure to ask for her when making your appointment if she is the therapist you would like to see. We will be booking appointments right up to 2:00 p.m. on Monday 24th December. Contact us to arrange yours!

Summer Skin Tips – It’s on the way Nelson!

November 22, 2018 by w b

Despite the recent, (shall we say changeable?), Nelson weather. Summer is on its way! So with that in mind we thought we’d share our summer skin tips to help you survive the season!

Sunscreen should never be far away

Quality sun protection is so important in our Nelson summer. Ultraceuticals UV Protective Daily Moisturiser Range are a perfect way to stay protected every day.

Choose from:

SPF 50+ For all skin types – Non greasy
SPF 30+ Sheer tint – For all skin types
SPF 30+ Hydrating – For dry to normal skin
SPF 30+ Mattifying – For dry to normal skin, no chalky residue, non greasy

The Ultraceuticals Sun Active SPF50+ Range has a great range of products to slip into your beach bag.

Choose from:

130 ml Face & Body lotion Airless Pump – $59
60 ml Face Cream – $59
180 ml Clear Body Spray – $59

Get fresh with a facial

We couldn’t write an article on summer skin tips without including a facial recommendation. A facial is a great way to prepare your skin for any change of season. For a hydration boost try the Sothys Hydra 3Ha Facial. It’s The crème de la crème of facials creating 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.

Stay cool as a cucumber

Keep your shower cool in summer, especially after sun exposure, as hot showers dry out your skin further. Call in and talk to us about the Jane Iredale hydrating face sprays. They’re perfect products to throw in your handbag. A quick spritz will cool you down when you get hot and bothered. They also set your makeup for a long-lasting, smooth finish.

Don’t get in a rash

No summer skin tips post would be complete without this hero product! Pure Fiji Dilo Rescue Body Spray is a summer handbag essential. 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, discover a gentle yet highly effective way to soothe, moisturize and nourish irritated skin affected by sunburn, dehydration, insect bites, rashes or shaving.

Fake it don’t bake it

It’s common to feel a little exposed the first time you change into your togs each year, especially if your limbs haven’t seen the light of day in a while; but a spray tan can do wonders for the confidence. The Sunescape natural colours come in light, medium or dark, so choose the one that suits you best to get Nelson summer ready in one appointment!

Your Nelson Spring Beauty Checklist

October 25, 2018 by w b

Here at Woman Beauty Nelson, we’re rather fond of a checklist… Checklists help us stay on track so we can provide you with the excellent service we’re known for. But who’d have thought that checklists have their own celebratory day? It’s true! 30th October is official ‘Checklist Day’… So, to celebrate we thought we’d publish your spring beauty checklist.

Your Nelson Spring Beauty Checklist

Face up to the new season

A change of season means it’s time for fresh, clear complexions. Our Advanced Facial Therapies will help you put your best face forward. Our much-loved O2 facial is a firm favourite and provides instant results you can see and feel.

Fight the fuzz

Those layers are coming off. So, if you’ve been leaving it a little longer between wax appointments, now is the time to recommence your regular bookings.

A golden glow

Once you’ve smoothed things out a bit, you’re ready to bare your limbs. Or are you? Why not make an entrance with a golden glow. A Sunescape spray tan will give you a feel-good boost for spring.

Treat those tootsies

It’s time to say goodbye to your winter boots and reach for your jandals. Your feet have probably been cooped up in their winter layers for a few months. So why not give them a little TLC before the big reveal! Our popular Soul to Sole is the ultimate treat for feet.

A pop of colour

Spring is the time to lighten and brighten things up. And that includes your makeup bag. So give it a spring clean and lighten it up by getting rid of all those dried up tubes and palettes. And brighten it up with a pop of colour. The new seasonal range of Jane Iredale mineral makeup is available at Woman Beauty Nelson. And if this spring beauty checklist hasn’t been enough reading, you might want to pop over and read this article for some spring makeup trends.

We can’t wait to help you complete your spring beauty checklist. Call 03 548 0030 for bookings.

Beauty treatments in Nelson – Winter’s most wanted!

May 30, 2018 by w b

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.

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.
