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 Facials as Nelson Blooms!

October 16, 2020 by w b

As we transition into Nelson’s warmer months, you’ll likely notice a significant change in your skin. You may be left with dry and lipid impaired skin, which is the main cause of sensitive skin. Or you may just need to ensure your skin is in optimal health to tolerate the environmental factors this season will send your way. Pollen and high UV exposure require a game plan! So, in this week’s article, we’re talking spring facials.

Spring Facials in Nelson

Prepare for the Season with one of our Recommended Spring Facials:

Generally, at this time of year, we recommend an antioxidant and moisture-rich facial to give your skin a seasonal boost. But our skin therapists can make facial recommendations specific to you and your skin. You are welcome to call into the Spa for advice before booking. In the meantime here are three Spring facials to consider.

The O2 Facial:

A long-standing favourite, this facial is a must if your skin feels particularly dehydrated from winter. It incorporates hyperbaric oxygen therapy, a cocktail of vitamins and antioxidants and hyaluronic acid for an instant, visible boost of hydration and luminosity. This is also perfect before special social occasions. So, it’s a great one to consider as the festive period gets closer.

The Sothys Soothing Facial:

If your skin feels sensitive or irritated as spring starts, the Sothys Soothing facial is a perfect solution! This is an ultra-gentle soothing treatment that incorporates thermal spa water’s natural occurring soothing and cooling properties to calm even the most sensitive of skins.

The Express Facial:

Short on time but still want the benefits of a professional facial treatment? Our Express Facial covers all the basics. Your therapist will customise this treatment, especially for you. They will select from our advanced professional skincare products, based purely on your needs at the time of treatment.


Regular Maintenance is a Must:

If you are committed to looking after your skin and prevent premature ageing. Or if you need to treat a specific skin concern, then you will see the best results with monthly facials. Spring and summer can be harsh on the skin as pollutants are higher, as is UV exposure. You’ll also notice more sebaceous activity as your body temperature heats up. Monthly facials will help keep you feeling confident as you go make-up free over summer!

Let’s Take it Home:

When people ask us about the importance of home skincare following a facial, we like to use a little analogy.

You wouldn’t expect weight loss results from one personal training session a month, with no other exercise, would you? You know that to get results you have to put in the work every day, even when you do not see your PT!

Similarly, home skincare is vital if you’re going to get the best results from your professional spring facial. What you apply every single day to your skin is going to make the biggest difference! Using high-quality products on your skin ensures healthy cell turnover, antioxidant protection, optimal barrier function and keeps the build-up of dead, dry skin on the surface; this affects both the skins appearance and the penetration of your products.


3 Reasons to Book your Facial at Woman in Nelson:

Finally, we thought we’d wrap up with three reasons to book your Spring facial at Woman in Nelson.

Professional Advice:

We love the skin! We have studied it and worked extensively on it for years! We want you to be happy in the skin you are in, so you can ask us anything 😊. We are always more than happy to offer guidance on the treatments and home care products that will help you achieve your skin goals!

Active Ingredients:

As a professional spa we have access to products that contain much higher percentages of active ingredients than those available over the counter at your local chemist or supermarket. Active ingredients are the ones that get deep down into the living tissue of your skin and communicate with the cells to make real changes within the structure of the skin.

Relaxation:

As if we would forget this… Life is busier and more stressful than ever! It is so important to take time out for yourself, even if you can only manage an hour. We specialise in a truly relaxing experience here at Woman in Nelson and pride ourselves on creating a little oasis of peace away from all the stresses of day to day life.

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.

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

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 winter skincare nelson

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!

New Year Resolutions Skincare

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!
