The menopause, your skin and how we help

by

You might be prepared for hot flushes, night sweats and mood swings. But there are a host of other (less publicised) symptoms associated with menopause, some easier to address than others. At Woman Beauty in Nelson, we can help you with the hormonal changes that affect your skin during this time.

menopause skin

The menopause, your skin, and how we help:

Dry skin:

Falling oestrogen levels causes your skin to lose its elasticity and become drier and wrinkled. Several of our advanced facial treatments are particularly appropriate for menopausal skin.

Firstly, Omnilux LED light therapy will plump and tighten your skin while minimising fine lines and wrinkles. It has the added bonus of improving your mood! Additionally, with the Revive Me Omnilux Facial, you can enjoy the luxury of a facial and the omnilux combined.

The Sothys Hydra 3Ha Facial is the crème de la crème of facials. We recommend three treatments over two months. This facial creates a unique triple Hyaluronic acid approach to restore, reactivate and rejuvenate all the vital elements of skin hydration. It can offer a 71% increase in skin moisture levels after just one treatment.

Finally, consider the Anti-Ageing Trio. This facial offers a deep even exfoliation with Glycolic, to smooth and refine. Then you’ll drift away under the red Omnilux LED light. This promotes hydration and stimulates collagen. To finish off, you will enjoy our much loved 02 facial to plump fine lines and increase luminosity. This facial favourite is currently a seasonal special.

Possible Pimples:

In a cruel twist of nature, some women experience acne-like breakouts around menopause. If this happens to you, we can tailor the correct advanced facial for your skin and advise on home skincare using our leading cosmeceutical skincare brand, Ultraceuticals.

Fighting the fuzz:

As levels of female hormones fall, you may begin to see unwanted facial hair beginning to sprout! We can help you fight the fuzz. We can wax the delicate areas of your face, or you may wish to consider ELOS IPL for more permanent solutions.

If you’re considering IPL do ask to see your therapist’s certification. Sadly, it is possible to buy IPL or laser treatment systems and operate them with minimal or no training. At Woman Beauty, we have trained and certified every therapist who offers IPL treatment for hair reduction and skin rejuvenation.

If you’re going through menopause and your skin needs a little extra TLC call us to find out how we can help.

Nelson Winter Skincare Opportunties

by

So, the colder months have finally arrived. But, that doesn’t mean it’s all doom and gloom. In fact, we think the cooler temperatures and nights at home present the perfect opportunity to start ramping up your Nelson winter skincare. Don’t hide under your beanie! It’s the season to show your skin some T,L,C!

Nelson winter skincare

Three ways to amp up your Nelson winter skincare.

Firstly, winter is the perfect time to try non-invasive skin treatments. This is because of the reduced sun exposure, which can be beneficial to your healing after any treatment.

At Woman, we have two specific skincare treatments that fall into the non-invasive skin treatments category.

ELOS Skin Rejuvenation:

This is a highly effective IPL intense pulse light treatment which restores the appearance of unwanted pigmentation, redness and uneven skin tone. We can treat your face, neck, décolletage and hands, restoring your skin to its former glory.

Combined bi-polar radio frequency and light energies of ELOS technology target skin pigmentation such as freckles, sunspots and age spots. Spider vessels (or thread veins) and redness from rosacea are also lightened. The bi-polar heat also stimulates collagen production.

Prices usually start at $350 for your face, BUT we are offering a special price of $200 for full face, with pricing for other areas by consultation with one of our certified therapists.

Contact us to book your appointment.

Dermapen 4:

Dermapen Microneedling treatments promote natural collagen and elastin production from within the skin. After treatment, you’ll notice healthier, brighter, tighter skin. It will feel more even toned, with refined pores and reduced wrinkles.

We can achieve fabulous skin rejuvenation with Dermapen 4, and our launch promotion is ongoing. Buy three treatments get one free!

To treat your face and neck is typically $299 for an individual treatment. But, if you book and pay for four, the total charged will be $897 (that works out at $224.25 per treatment). If you’d like to include your décolletage with your face and neck treatment it would normally be $350 for an individual treatment. But, similarly, if you book and pay for four, it’s $1050 (which works out at $262.50 per treatment).

Contact us to book your appointment.

Omnilux LED Revive Me:

Finally, your Nelson winter skincare should include a fabulous facial. That’s why we’ve included our; always popular Omnilux LED Revive Me Facial in our seasonal specials, reduced by $50 for three months only.

Enjoy our luxury facial combined with the medical grade Omnilux to plump, brighten and tighten the skin and minimise fine lines. This will improve the look and feel of your skin.

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 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

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

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

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.

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.
