Autumn and Winter Skincare – Your ‘To Do’ List

by

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.

Enjoy a Nelson holiday after the holidays!

by

It’s that time of year again! You’ve decked your halls, wrapped your gifts and attended numerous Christmas parties. Now you’re waiting for the arrival of your many house guests. This time of year is full-on. It’s no wonder, so many of us feel frazzled by the beginning of January! This year why not plan a Nelson holiday, after the holidays to ease you into 2019.

Here are three ways you can enjoy a Nelson holiday after the holidays!

  • Be a tourist in your backyard.

    We’re so lucky to live in beautiful Nelson. So take time out to appreciate everything that’s on offer. You could cycle the Great Taste Trail or kayak in Abel Tasman. Choose just one day to be a tourist in your backyard, relax and enjoy!

  • Head to the beach.

    Who doesn’t love a beach holiday? And in the Nelson region, we have plenty to choose from. Don’t forget to prepare for your beach excursion with a visit to Woman Beauty. We have a full range of Ultraceuticals sun protection to fill your Nelson holiday beach bag. A Sunescape spray tan and a wax in all the right places will get you swimsuit ready. We are open until 24th December and have taken on extra staff so you can prepare for your Nelson beach holiday.

  • Escape to the Islands

    Promise yourself a Nelson holiday staycation in the New Year at Woman Beauty. A Fiji Holiday treatment is the perfect way to recharge your batteries after the excesses of the festive season. Take half a day to pretend you are on holiday. Start with the signature Tropical Paradise Ritual, enjoy crème scrub exfoliation followed by a relaxing massage with exotic oil then be painted with body butter, wrapped up while enjoying a Fijian scalp treatment with warm oil. This pampering wouldn’t be complete without adding a spa manicure and pedicure then enjoy time out with a complimentary refreshment in the relax lounge. The perfect gift to add to your Christmas wishlist! We reopen on Monday 7th January, so book your New Year treat to yourself, today!

Happy holidays from the whole team at Woman Beauty!

 

Ultraceuticals at Woman Beauty Nelson

by

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 such as ageing, pigmentation and acne. The result is your best-ever skin!

But what are cosmeceuticals?

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. These products need to come via the recommendation of a qualified skin therapist, after a thorough consultation and assessment of your skin.

As we head into spring and summer it’s time to give your cosmetic bag and bathroom cabinet an overhaul, and add some extra protection! As well as the fabulous range of cleansers, serums and moisturisers on offer, Ultraceuticals can also help protect you from the sun’s harmful UV rays.

Heading to Nelson beaches? Pack these beauty tips!

by

The holidays may be over for some of you, but summer is still here. There will be plenty of days to head to one of the many beautiful Nelson beaches so we thought we’d share some of our top beauty tips to pack in your beach tote.

beauty tips nelson beaches

  1. Fake it first – If your Christmas holiday glow has faded, you might want to top up your tan before you slip into your togs. Our summer seasonal specials continue to run until the end of February, so take advantage of our two for one Sunescape Spray Tanning offer before you head to one of our Nelson beaches. Sunescape Spray Tans are usually, $60 each, buddy up with your bestie and you both get a tan, but you’ll only get charged for one! Buy yours here.
  2. But don’t forget your sunscreen – A fake bake is no protection from the sun’s damaging UV rays. The secret to enjoying our Nelson beaches is to be sun smart, that way you won’t end up with lasting sun damage as a beach souvenir. The Ultraceuticals SunActive range was formulated to provide very high sun protection against one of the harshest climates in the world. Can’t bear to be bare-faced at the beach? Then slip an Ultraceuticals UV Protective Daily Moisturiser SPF 30 Sheer Tint in your tote. This broad spectrum SPF 30 daily moisturiser (free of nanoparticles) offers triple skin protection with a hint of colour. If you want a little more coverage, but still want to keep your beach look natural, come in and talk to us about the Jane Iredale mineral makeup range, our team can offer you makeup advice as well as beauty tips.
  3. Calm yourself – Even the most dedicated slip, slop, slap enthusiast will admit to the odd occasion where they have missed a patch of skin with sunblock. If this happens to you, be sure to keep a handy spray bottle of Pure Fiji Dilo Rescue range. This product can help to soothe, nourish and replenish skin.
  4. Plan if you can – Everybody loves an impromptu beach trip, but like a good girl scout always be prepared. Keep your waxing regime up to date, that way you won’t be tempted to reach for the razor because shaving right before you head to the beach is a rash waiting to happen! We also recommend that you don’t go to the beach straight after your waxing appointment, your skin needs to calm, so if you’re a real beach babe, think about making your wax appointments in the evening through the summer months, that way you’ll be able to play during the day!
  5. Make the most of your pedicure – You might love the feeling of sand between your toes, but sadly it can also play havoc with your beautifully painted toes. So, summer is a great time to splurge a little extra on your pedi. Upgrade to a Shellac finish for just $25; it’s definitely worth the investment!

Remember if you need any more beach beauty tips or product advice, call in to see the team at Woman Beauty.

Spring Skincare at Woman Beauty Nelson

by

The sun is shining, which means it’s the ideal time to have a spring clean. Here at Woman Beauty Nelson, we think it’s also a great opportunity to help you to shake up your spring skincare routine to help you look your best. Here are three ideas to help you:

spring skincare nelson

  1. Slough off that winter skin! Winter-formula skincare, indoor living and inclement weather take their toll, so now is the time to get rid of that seasonal build up. Exfoliation is perfect for removing dull, dead skin and will leave you looking fresher and ready to face the new season. An even better way to reveal smoother, brighter skin is with a Skin Workout – These treatments (often referred to as skin peels) aim to rejuvenate skin through accelerated exfoliation. These treatments have been developed to quickly refresh and restore skins youthful appearance.
  2. Get to know your skin. What skin type are you? What condition is your skin in right now? The only way to get your spring skincare on track is to speak to a professional – and here at Woman Beauty Nelson, we offer a thorough and comprehensive diagnostic skin analysis and consultation. Learn how to get your skin in tip-top condition and how to keep it that way! Our Diagnostic Skin Analysis & Consultation costs $45 but is redeemable on your purchase of skincare product.
  3. Spring clean your dressing table! Take an honest look at your skincare and beauty products. Are they past their best? Are there some horrors lurking that have been there for years? Half-used, out-of-date products can host a build-up of bacteria that can lead to clogged pores, dull skin and breakouts. Have a clear out – it’s therapeutic! Now you can swap out your old make up for some new Spring classics – we’re proud to be the Nelson stockist of the beautiful range of Jane Iredale mineral make-up and can help you select the perfect shades for your new season look.

Spring beauty tips – Nelson shines!

by

Spring has arrived in Nelson, and that can mean just one thing it’s time for some spring beauty tips. If you’ve been hibernating over the winter months, it’s time to shed those layers.

spring beauty tips nelson

Here are 5 spring beauty tips to help you get ready to bare your limbs!

  • Fight the fuzz – If you’ve let things grow a little whilst you’ve been shrowded in your winter warmers, then it’s time to get things waxed. But there’s good news! Because during winter, your skin won’t have been exposed to harsh outside factors like sun and chlorine, any redness and/or sensitivity will be minimised, and your skin will recover more quickly from any hair removal treatment. Check out the waxing menu here.
  • Get a glow – Everybody feels better with a bit of bronze… So why not get a fake tan as you start to bare your limbs. At Woman Beauty in Nelson we offer two treatment options. Spray Tan – A beautiful natural looking tan without harmful chemicals. Or Body Scrub & Spray Tan – A full body exfoliation washed away with vichy jets then a spray tan – leaves you with a very sunny complexion and a mood to match. Find both here.
  • Put your feet first – A perfect pedi and pretty toes should be on the agenda as you reach to the back of the closet for your summer sandals!
  • Switch up your skin routine – Winter can be harsh on your skin. So start the repair of your skin with a facial. There are lots to choose from here, but if you need help selecting the right one, just give us a call or pop in to reception for some advice. Once you’ve given your skin a new lease of life with your chosen facial, keep up the good work with the right products. At Woman Beauty Nelson, we offer a select range of effective, quality skin care brands and products. Take advantage of our free skin care analysis and purchase products that best suit your skin type.
  • Choose a spring palette – Choose a bright new lippy for a bright new season. We’re proud to be the Nelson stockist of the beautiful range of Jane Iredale mineral makeup. Talk to Demi our Makeup Artist about the perfect shade for you!
