How to relax in Nelson

by

15th August marks a significant date on the International calendar… It’s Relaxation Day!

As you can imagine, at Woman Beauty in Nelson we’re delighted that there’s a day dedicated to relaxation, but we believe that you should be able to relax far more frequently than once every twelve months! To that end, we’ve decided to share five ways that you can relax in Nelson at any time of year!

Relax Nelson

How to relax in Nelson.
  • The fragrance of flowers – We’re blessed with our beautiful reserves and parks in Nelson, and you will always find something in bloom to satisfy the senses. When was the last time you took a wander through Queens Gardens or Miyazu Gardens? Pop it on your relaxation register!
  • Smell the coffee – If there’s one thing we’re not short of in Nelson, it’s delightful coffee shops. The simple smell of coffee can help reduce stress hormones, but we prefer to drink it! #loveyourlocalcoffeeshop
  • Head to the beach – Being close to the water has always been considered a perfect way to find calmness and clarity. You don’t need to venture too far from the city to find yourself a quiet spot at the beach.
  • Enjoy some exercise – Pick your pastime and get those endorphins pumping. From swimming to SUP, and biking to trail running, there’s a huge adventure playground on our doorstep.
  • Walk into Woman Beauty – Our clients often say they feel their troubles melting away as soon as they walk through the door of our beautiful Nelson villa, and we do our best to foster a sense of tranquillity and calm. So book a massage or spa treatment and discover what it feels like to be truly relaxed!

Call to book your appointment or shop for relaxation online! Enjoy August 15th and every other relaxation day this year!

 

Spa treatments to warm up your Nelson winter

by

At Woman Beauty we believe that nothing compares to a relaxing treatment to warm up your winter. Step through our doors on a dismal day in Nelson, and we’re certain you’ll feel immediately cocooned and quietly comforted. So, in this week’s blog article, we’re sharing some of our most popular spa treatments to add some warmth to your week!

Five spa treatments to give you the warm fuzzies…

  • Massage starts with Mmmmm:

    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 utilises hot stones. Buy yours here. Or relax and drift away with the special blends of the Pacific with the Full Body Island Massage. You can choose whether you drift off for sixty or ninety minutes. Buy yours here.

  • Wrap up warm:

    The Pure Fiji Island Wrap hydrates your dry skin so you will benefit from a beautiful “island glow”. To begin with, your skin is gently dry brushed and warmed tropical oil is generously applied. Your body is wrapped with hot stones while a warm oil scalp massage releases tension hydrating the skin and detoxifying the system. You will leave with your mind renewed and your body restored. Buy yours here.

  • Indulge yourself:

    At the end of a cold winter’s day, it’s tempting to relax in a warm bath. We don’t think you should have to wait until the end of the day! Instead, indulge in a hydrotherapy bath at Woman Beauty Nelson. After this, you’ll receive a full body massage, before finishing with a spa facial and taking time out in the relax lounge. Buy yours here.

  • Escape to the tropics:

    Spa treatments can be like a mini break! Take half a day to pretend you are on holiday. Start with the signature Tropical Paradise Ritual. After this enjoy a crème scrub exfoliation followed by a relaxing massage with exotic oil. You will then be painted with body butter, and cocooned while enjoying a Fijian scalp treatment with warm oil. This pampering wouldn’t be complete without adding a spa manicure and pedicure. After this enjoy time out with a complimentary refreshment in the relax lounge. Buy yours here.

  • Do it with a friend 😉:

    Enjoy our seasonal special this winter! This Couple Retreat is designed to be enjoyed with your partner or bestie. We’ll start you off with a warm foot soak using Pure Fiji bath soak. This is followed by a sugar scrub and a relaxing full body massage. Buy yours here; the special price is for two people.

 

 

Beauty treatments in Nelson – Winter’s most wanted!

by

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.

beauty treatments nelson

  • 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.

Five steps to a Happy New Year – Relax in Nelson

by

relax nelson2018 is here, and you might be back at work already, but that doesn’t mean that the time to relax should be over. Here are our five steps to help you on your way to a Happy New Year in Nelson.

  1. Indulge in a little luxury – Luxury doesn’t always have to be expensive. At Woman Beauty in Nelson, we believe that a luxury is simply a small pleasure that’s out of the ordinary. That could be a walk on your own, an afternoon sat reading a book, or a massage or facial that you wouldn’t normally make the time for. Whatever you consider life’s luxuries to be, make time for them in 2018.
  2. Treat yourself or somebody else – Did you know that we offer our loyal customers the chance to Grab-A-Treat most months? These tantalising offers are usually on sale for two days only, so if you snooze you lose. Sign up for our newsletter so we can send you email alerts, you’ll never miss the chance to treat yourself or somebody else again!
  3. Discover something new – Make 2018 the year you discover something new about yourself. A wise woman, (that’ll be Carrie Bradshaw from Sex & the City), once said, “I wasn’t searching for something or someone….I was searching for me.” It’s amazing how a little peace and tranquility can help you find yourself, and that’s something we can definitely help you with!
  4. Find Time… To be with friends! At Woman Beauty our new pedicure lounge can accommodate three people, and it’s a great excuse for a get together with girlfriends. We also have a selection of packages available for group bookings. Plus our couples room is the perfect place to escape with your bestie!
  5. Relax – It’s our mantra! At our Nelson Day Spa, we offer a range of packages to help you practice the art of relaxation, whether it is time alone or with someone special, our mini oasis will give you that well earned time out.

This Christmas – Stress Less & Relax More

by

It’s no secret that Christmas, and the run up to the holiday season can be a stress filled time… Even in sunny Nelson, there seems to be mounting pressure to turn into Wonder Woman and deliver perfect pressies, mouth-watering feasts and entertainment that would fill Netflix with green eyed envy.

Thankfully, here at Woman Beauty Day Spa, we’re masters of the art of relaxation… Our clients often say they feel their troubles melting away as soon as they walk through the door of our beautiful Nelson villa, and we do our best to foster a sense of tranquility and calm. So, with that in mind, we thought we’d share our three top tips to ensure that you stress less and relax more this Christmas season.

Christmas Stress

  • Book a massage – A massage can lower your heart rate, cortisol and insulin levels. Think you have to set aside a full morning or afternoon to fit in some Massage Manna? Think again! Our Neck Back and Shoulder Massage is a great tension reliever when time is limited. Set aside 30 minutes at the end of the day, and we’ll have you laid back and ready to face the demands of the family again!
  • Treat yourself to a facial – A good facial won’t just calm your skin, it will have a similar effect on your demeanour. The Essential Spa Facial includes a neck, back and shoulder massage, so you can supersize your stress buster!
  • Summer Special to beat stress – We’ve just released our summer specials, and to help you combat seasonal stress disorder, we’ve included the Full Body Retreat. A firm favourite every year. Enjoy a foot soak in Pure Fiji’s milk soak, followed by a sugar scrub and full body massage. Afterwards, take time in the relax lounge and enjoy a complimentary refreshment and chocolates… We won’t tell them you’re here!

We don’t close our doors until Saturday 23rd December at 4:00 p.m. and we reopen at 9:00 a.m. on Wednesday 3rd January. So book now for your pre or post Christmas stress relieving treat!

 

Massage-Woman Beauty Nelson-5 Health Benefits

by

This week’s blog is a guest post from Sarah Jones. After trying out numerous massage and relaxation techniques, Sarah finally found the ideal place to share her experience and knowledge. On Relax Everyday, she writes about relaxation, meditation, and other calming techniques for a healthier disposition. Today she’s writing for Woman Beauty in Nelson about the health benefits of massage.

massage health benefits nelson

 

The team at Woman Beauty take your relaxation very seriously! But if you think that massage is just about relaxation then think again, because massage therapy has many health benefits, read on to discover how it can help your overall well-being.

Massages Help Fight Illness

Massages have been shown to help boost immune power.  People leave a massage feeling relaxed and invigorated, and the feeling helps to boost immune system properties reducing inflammation and building up a resistance to sickness.  A lighter-pressure massage is most effective for increasing immune system powers, as studies have shown that it increases the number of lymphocytes, white blood cells, found in the immune system.

Soothes the Back

Millions suffer from neck and back pain caused by stationary sitting all day or by injuries.  Massages can often be used in lieu of pain pills.  Applying pressure to your sore back and neck can ease painful symptoms quickly.  Regular massages are encouraged over several weeks for those suffering from chronic neck or back pain.  Try the Woman Beauty Neck, Back and Shoulder Massage to ease your pained muscles.

Sleep Better

Massages help you get restful sleep.  Many people toss and turn or have problems falling and staying asleep.  Massages relax the body and are generally carried out in a calming, soothing atmosphere which also calms the mind.  This is a dynamic combination that will help those who struggle with sleeping soundly to rest easy.  Good rest is needed for our minds and bodies to rejuvenate, and getting a massage once or twice a week will improve sleep quality.

Eases Soreness

The most popular use for a massage is to ease soreness and tension.  Both can be caused by stress, injury, or damage to muscles and tissue.  Exercise often leaves us sore, and massage is a great way to increase blood flow by using pressure on tight or sore areas.  They can be used after workouts for a quicker recovery time, reducing the aches and pains that you might feel after strenuous activity.

Smiles All Around

Massages make you happy!  Some people experience mild discomfort as the masseuse works on their body, applying pressure to the troubled areas.  After the massage is completed, most people feel much better.  Fluid movements return, the pain eases, soreness dissipates, and you feel calmer, healthier, and happier, boosting your overall mood and helping you to feel better both inside and out. Massages have a tendency to leave people happier and relieved, thereby reducing symptoms of depression.

What are you waiting for?  Scheduling a regular massage can help ease not only tension but stress, soreness, and negativity from your mind and body. They benefit your body in numerous ways and are considered a great element to incorporate into your health and fitness routine.

The good news is you don’t have to make them alone because we’re here to offer honest advice and outstanding service, so you get favourable results.

To help you select the perfect treatment, we’ve put together a list of some of our most popular facials:

  • For a first facial or a gift –  The Spa Facial offers pure pampering and is great for all ages. Perfect for a teenager’s first facial experience, it also makes a great gift.
    Purchase yours here.
  • Facial on the run – If you’re short on time but know your skin needs a little extra TLC, the Ultra Power Facial takes just 30 minutes and includes a cleanse, peel and mask.
    Purchase yours here.
  • Relax and escape – The Pure Fiji Island Facial takes you on a journey to the Pacific. An ancient blend of powerful plant actives and exotic drift nut oils meet the latest in dermatological revelations to produce phenomenal targeted solutions. This favourite treatment is a seasonal special at the moment when combined with an eyelash and eyebrow tint and tidy.
    Purchase the special.
  • Facials for skin conditions – Book the Ultra Signature or Advanced Ultra Signature, both are designed to treat specific skin conditions or imperfections whilst still experiencing a little escapism.
    Purchase Ultra Signature.
    Purchase Advanced Ultra Signature.
  • Facials for cooler climes – As we head into autumn and winter, you’ll notice changes in your skin caused by cooler temperatures and low humidity, both of which suck the moisture from your skin. If you’ve noticed your skin drying out from these seasonal changes, the 02 or anti-aging trio is for you. The infusion of the rejuvenating serum, with the help of oxygen, will increase the levels of hydration in your skin. The Omnilux facial is also perfect at this time of year; the warmth of the LED light helps to improve circulation and will speed up cell turnover.
    Call into Woman Beauty Day Spa Nelson to talk to us about the o2 or anti-aging trio or buy your Revive Me Omnilux here.
  • Facials for fellas – Facials are definitely not just for women… The Men’s Ultra Power Facial will cleanse, hydrate & brighten your skin in a lunch time. The Men’s Ultra Signature Facial takes a little longer but includes eyebrow tidy, cleanse, exfoliation, steam, massage & mask with finishing products.
    Purchase Men’s Ultra Power.
    Purchase Men’s Ultra Signature.
