Eyebrows and Eyelashes – 3 steps to great peepers in Nelson

by

Your eyes are often the first thing that people notice about you when they see your face, indeed it’s been said that they are the windows to your soul… So make no mistake… People are looking closely! Well shaped eyebrows frame your face and full eyelashes can give you a youthful look, but there are other things you can do to achieve beautiful baby blues!

eyebrows eyelashes nelson

In this blog we’re giving away our top three tips for great eyes!

  • Use the right potions for your peepers – Which part of the face often ages fastest, has thinner skin, has less oil glands and frequently gets overlooked? You guessed it… Your eyes! So it’s important to find the right product, if you haven’t yet tried Ultraceuticals then April is a good time to dip your toe in as we are running a new promotion.
    Book in for an Eye Trio and purchase either the Ultra A Perfecting Eye Cream or Ultra C Perfecting Eye Cream (RRP $119 each) and receive an Ultra Soothing Eye Make-Up Remover valued at $47 absolutely free!
    Top tip: Whilst we’re on the subject of lotions and potions, don’t forget the sunscreen, our range of facial sunscreens can be worn with your makeup. Always have your sunnies with you, the beautiful, yet harsh New Zealand sunshine will mean you have a a tendency to squint more frequently, and your eyes will develop wrinkles and fine lines around their edges. 
  • Discover the game changer of tinting – If you’ve always had light, feathery eyebrows and sparse, spindly eyelashes then you need to add tint. Professional eyelash and eyebrow tinting will work wonders at adding depth and colour to your eyes; and can add definition to your entire face, enhancing your cheekbones and framing your features.
    The Eyelash & Eyebrow Tint and Tidy is perfect as part of your monthly maintenance routine! Buy yours HERE.
  • Making Up… Not so hard to do! – Especially with the beautiful range of Jane Iredale mineral makeup we have in stock at Woman Beauty Day Spa in Nelson. Based on micronised minerals, the breakthrough technology is so effective it is recommended by plastic surgeons, dermatologists, and skin care experts. We can make your eyes pop with beautiful colours, or we can show you how to create sultry smoky eyes. Find out more about our makeup consultations and lessons HERE.

Sensitive skin? Sothys Paris is coming to Nelson…

by

sensitive skin nelsonDid you know 60 per cent of women have sensitive skin? If you are one of those affected we have great news. Sothys Paris is coming to Woman Beauty Day Spa in Nelson to transform your sensitive skin.

Whether you are genetically predisposed to sensitive skin or your skin is temporarily sensitised, Sothys Paris professional products and treatments 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 and reset 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.

We’ll be offering a brand new facial treatment soon, stay tuned for more details in our Autumn newsletter. If you’re not on our mailing list sign up now! There’s a subscription form at the bottom of this page.

  • Cleansing – the treatment begins with gentle cleansing using the Comfort milk & lotion for sensitive skin,
  • Softening Cleansing mask – The soft creamy texture rids of impurities (gentle enzyme action) and restores skin radiance. Blue ageratum leaf extract visibly reduces redness.
  • Express Ultra Soothing Serum – Light like a gel and soft like a cream, the express Soothing Serum helps instantly relieve all sensations of discomfort.
  • Ultra Soothing Massage Cream – Rich & melting, this massage cream is a true skin caress. Formulated with moisturising and soohting active ingredients, it helps skin regenerate and replenish itself.
  • Hydra-soothing Mask – The Hydra-soothing Mask is an effective refreshing bath, specially formulated to optimize the skins barrier function and restore its comfort. Discover Sothys unique porcelain modelling spoons, which provide a cooling touch and lymphatic drainage to perfect the treatment.
  • For a final protective touch, the treatment concludes with the application of the Soothing melting fluid.

Call in to Woman Beauty Day Spa, Nelson to discover Sothys range of high performance home care, offering daily soothing to all sensitive skin day after day.

Mineral Makeup – Jane Iredale – In Nelson

by

If you’re a fan of mineral makeup, we have great news for you. At Woman Beauty Day Spa in Nelson, we stock leading brand, Jane Iredale.

Jane was a mineral makeup trail blazer and the first to supply the industry with a line of makeup that had skin care benefits. Jane Iredale products look good, feel good and, best of all, are good for your skin.

Let’s not forget that your skin is the largest organ your body has, as such it deserves a little respect… 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. 

mineral makeup jane iredale nelson

If you haven’t yet discovered the joys of mineral makeup, here are 5 benefits of using it, that you might not be aware of…

  1. Great coverage without clogging – Mineral makeup has great coverage, offering you a flawless natural look, but unlike some standard ranges, it won’t clog your pores… Now breathe!
  2. It could save you money – At Woman in Nelson, we’re always upfront and honest… You may find your initial purchase of mineral makeup is a little more than a standard product. But… It’s long lasting, you’ll find you won’t need to reapply as often throughout the day, (which incidentally also makes it great for your wedding day). Less reapplication = less used = less dollars in the long term!
  3. It’s great for all skin types – Acne prone or problem skin? The oil base in regular makeup can exacerbate problem skin. Because mineral makeup is water based, it won’t clog, so you’ll reduce your chances of an unwanted breakout.
  4. Let it glow – Mineral makeup is made from minerals! Minerals reflect light, and mineral makeup does the same thing, giving you glowing skin, thus reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
  5. Clean planet, clean makeup bag – Mineral products stand up to bacteria, because they lack moisture and other substances that allow microorganisms to thrive. That means they stay in better condition for longer in your makeup bag. Once again a longer shelf life = more dollars in your pocket longer term.

Call into Woman Beauty in Nelson, to take a look at the full range of Jane Iredale we carry.

Also sign up to our newsletter, (there’s a link at the bottom of the page), because we have a very special event coming up, with limited spaces, and we want you to be the first to know about it!

Waxing lyrical… In a Nelson winter.

by

Waxing… Are you one of the “let the grass grow in a Nelson winter” brigade?

Far be it from us to comment on what goes on beneath your winter woolies… You may be aesthetically very happy with a little extra fuzz forming from June to September. But… And here’s the important thing… Right now, while we’re in the midst of a Nelson winter, is actually the best time to establish your hair removal routine.

Here are three reasons why.

  1. Your body hair naturally grows in three phases, in order to get the best removal results, you need to catch the hair in the anagen (initial) growth phase, each and every time. So routine is important.
  2. During winter, your skin isn’t exposed to harsh outside factors like sun and chlorine. That means that any redness and/or sensitivity will be minimised, and your skin will recover quicker from a hair removal treatment.
  3. With consistent waxing, your body will produce less and less hair. So if you take the Nelson winter off, it’s likely to be a bigger job to fight the fuzz when you get ready for your spring reveal!

Waxing-Nelson

Here are a few tips to maximise the effectiveness of your waxing treatment.

  • Make sure your skin is clean and free from moisturisers and lotions prior to your waxing appointment.
  • If you are particularly sensitive or having your first wax; you could take Panadol or Nurofen up to an hour before your appointment to minimise any discomfort.
  • For the best results your hair growth should be between 1-1.5 cm. If it’s longer than this, specifically in intimate areas, waxing can be more painful. So we recommend trimming the area before your appointment, or your therapist can attend to this.
  • Your skin will need to calm after your waxing appointment. We stock the Pure Fiji Dilo Rescue range that can help to soothe, nourish and replenish skin; ask us about it at your appointment.
  • Avoid all other lotions, perfumes, antiperspirants and colognes until your skin has calmed.
  • Wear loose clothes for your appointment, and after waxing until your skin has calmed. Tights, pants and jeans can irritate the skin or cause ingrown hairs.
  • If you’re showering or bathing after your appointment, make sure you use warm not hot water.
  • Don’t hit the gym straight after your waxing appointment.

It’s time to fake it with a Spray Tan!

by

Spring is here, summer is just around the corner… Before you start to shed your winter clothing layers, you might wish to think about faking it… Book a Sun Escape Spray Tan.

Here are our top tips to getting the most from your spray tan!

  • Prior to a spray tan, start exfoliating you body (at least a week out). Any dry skin patches (often around the knees or elbows) will make the tan appear darker in those areas, so for an even tan, moisturise after you exfoliate.
  • On the day of your spray tan don’t apply any deodorant, perfume or moisturiser and be sure to wear loose (preferably dark coloured) clothing, stay away from boots or tight jeans.
  • Jandals are perfect to slip on after your tan.
  • If you would like your face tanned, it is best done with no makeup.
  • Afterwards, stay away from water and be careful about washing your hands. Moisturise daily to prolong the tan.

Screen Shot 2015-10-06 at 3.39.06 pmOur expert therapists will give you further tips to make the most of your Sun Escape tan.

Our popular spray tan, Sun Escape, also offers a take home mousse. Easy application for an instant tan. Available for purchase in spa. ($53.50)
