New Year Resolutions for Skincare

by

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.

Your Nelson Spring Beauty Checklist

by

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.

spring beauty checklist nelson

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.

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.

Ultraceuticals Nelson

Daily protection from Ultraceuticals

Among our bestselling products are the Ultraceuticals UV Protective Daily Moisturiser Range. These are perfect for day wear, utilising a blend of non-nano broad spectrum SPF. Designed to protect against both UVA (antiaging) and UVB (burn) rays. A conventional sunscreen that has a ‘SPF’ rating only and does not mention the term ‘Broad Spectrum’ may block very little UVA radiation to the nominal SPF. These cost $89, and come in four different varieties.

  • 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 oily to normal skin, no chalky residue, non greasy

Advanced protection from Ultraceuticals

Ultraceuticals Sun Active SPF50+ Range has a Complete Spectrum, which means that the ingredients included protect to a deeper level of nanometers. (The wavelength UV is measured in nanometers (or billionths of a meter). The benefits of this
range include:
  • Highest UV protection containing complete spectrum UVA & UVB sunscreens
  • Antioxidant protection (ghts DNA damage)
  • 4 hour water resistance
  • Touch dry technology
  • Low chemical load
  • Skin barrier support
  • Designed for active lifestyle
  • No benzophenone, parabens, propylene, synthetic dyes or fragrance

The range can be purchased in a 130 ml Face & Body lotion Airless Pump – $59, a 60 ml Face Cream – $59 and a 180 ml Clear Body Spray – $59.

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.

 

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!

Secrets to beautiful hands in Nelson

by

If you’ve spent time outside in this Nelson winter, whether that be gardening, walking, taking part in sports or even watching from the sidelines, there’s a chance it could have taken its toll on your hands. And whilst it’s easy to be vigilant about your facial skincare regime, hands are often forgotten, making them susceptible to the first signs of ageing.

beautiful hands nelson

If you’ve noticed that your mitts are giving the game away, it’s time to start treating them with a little TLC, here are our secrets to beautiful hands.

  • Cleanse, exfoliate and moisturise – Not just for your face! Washing your hands regularly is obviously important, but be like Goldilocks… Not too hot and not too cold, is the way to go! After you have cleansed don’t forget to dry them properly. Damp hands and cool weather, equal chapped skin! Talk to us about the range of Pure Fiji products that can make your hands happy.
  • Feed your fingers – We don’t need to tell you that you are what you eat! Antioxidant-enriched foods are a must to nourish your skin, including the skin on your hands; and to keep them strong and healthy, your nails need protein, calcium, zinc and vitamin B12, to name just a few nutrients. So think, lean meat, fish and dairy with lots of green veg thrown in for good measure.
  • Protect your palms… And the backs of your hands more! – That means wearing gloves for chores (and the great outdoors in winter), ramp up the sunscreen too!
  • Manicures are a must – A manicure will instantly revive your nails and give your cuticles a much needed moisture boost. For beautiful hands, indulge in the Woman Beauty Nelson, Spa Manicure, this includes a warm sugar scrub and milk soak, hand and forearm massage, cuticle and nail file and buff with polish of your choice. $90 (french extra). Buy or gift your Spa Manicure HERE.

 

Anti-Ageing Options @ Woman Beauty Nelson

by

anti-ageing nelsonAt Woman Beauty we believe that there are many benefits that come with getting older; more wisdom, increased empathy and a satisfying knowledge that one no longer needs to wear uncomfortable shoes or knickers; are just a few things that make ageing quite bearable! And to be honest, it’s easy to feel the same age on the inside as one always has done, it’s only a glance in the mirror that can sometimes remind us that gravity has indeed begun to take its toll and that it’s time to invest in some anti-ageing solutions, and that’s where we come in, because at Woman Beauty Nelson we can help you filter back the years.

Treatments:

A facial is a guaranteed way to increase your feel-good factor. Our Anti-Ageing Trio facial offers a deep even exfoliation with Glycolic, to smooth and refine. Drift away under the red Omnilux LED light, this promotes hydration and stimulates collagen. Then our much loved 02 facial helps to plump fine lines and increase luminosity. Buy yours HERE.

Massages are well known for their therapeutic properties, but a massage can also invigorate and energise giving an often needed youthful boost! View Massage Treatments.

Products:

We offer a select range of effective, quality skin care and anti-ageing cosmeceuticals.  Cosmeceuticals contain active ingredients (10%- 25%) that help to make actual changes in the second layer of the skin, (rather than sitting on the surface), ensuring the skin functions and performs 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.
Take advantage of our free skin care analysis and purchase products that best suit your skin type.
