Autumn Facials on Special @ Woman!

by

As temperatures start to cool in Nelson, it’s time to think about how the changing seasons can affect your skin. Crisper air and seasonal breezes can play havoc on your skin. Generally, it will become drier, which can result in redness, sensitivity, and irritation. It’s common for your skin to feel a little lack-lustre at this time of year. That’s why we’ve included three facial treatments in our seasonal specials for Autumn. Read on to discover which autumn facials are on special and why we know you’ll love them!

Autumn Facials on special at Woman, Nelson

Autumn Facials on Special!

Anti-Ageing Trio:

First up is a long-standing favourite, the Anti-Ageing Trio. This facial combines the anti-ageing benefits of a glycolic exfoliation with our red LED light to stimulate collagen and elastin production before finishing off with the 02 facial to visibly plump fine lines and increase luminosity.

Here’s why you’ll love it. Firstly the glycolic exfoliation will help you shed dead skin cells and reveal the newer, brighter layers underneath. The red LED light increases your skin’s natural hydration levels, reducing redness and inflammation while also stimulating collagen. So your face feels firmer. The O2 facial completes the process, nourishing your skin, so you leave with a healthy glow and luminous skin.

Ultraceuticals A-Zyme Retinol Peel:

This fast-acting, non-invasive skin rejuvenation treatment combines proven anti-ageing ingredients Retinol and Bromelain to refresh, hydrate and plump the skin. We recommend a course of this treatment for the best results.

Why we know you’ll love it… If you’re regretting sun exposure and noticing the effect of too many Nelson summer beach days on your skin, this treatment will help combat the effects of UV damage. Immediately after treatment, your skin will feel plump, dewy and hydrated. While you’ll definitely see a difference in your skin after a single treatment, we recommend a course for longer-lasting and maximum results.

Sothys New Cryo Eye & Neck Treatment

Okay, not so much an autumn facial but still a seasonal special we know you’ll fall in love with because of its targeted results. The eye and neck area are often areas of concern for our clients post 35 years. And this treatment is the answer! It will visibly reduce puffiness and dark under-eye circles, as well as firming the neck and jowls.

Buy yours HERE and save $60.

While we wanted to highlight our autumn facials on special in this article, we also thought it was a perfect opportunity to tell you about the Ultrceuticals RVR Challenge. Real Visible Results in ninety days! After your facial, let us prescribe the best Ultraceuticals home care products to suit your needs. You will receive a FREE Daily protective moisturiser SPF 30 in either Mattifying or Hydrating formulation when you purchase your Ultraceuticals cleanser, serum and (night time) moisturiser. Saving $93 on the RRP! Even if you haven’t booked an autumn facial, you can still take part in the RVR Challenge, call into our Nelson city home for a skin consult, and we’ll find the right products to meet your needs.

Finally, there are just a few spaces left for our Observ Skin Diagnostics event at Woman Beauty, Nelson. Find out more about the event HERE.

Observ Skin Diagnostics Event

by

On 16th March we’ll be holding another Observ Skin Diagnostics event at Woman Beauty, Nelson, in conjunction with our visiting Ultraceuticals expert, Tracy Benporth. If you haven’t attended before we thought we’d use this post to explain how it works and the benefits you’ll see from booking an appointment.

Observ Skin Diagnostics Event with Ultraceuticals:

How the Observ machine works:

Some skin concerns begin in the deep layers of your skin and are difficult to see with the human eye. These issues are often related to sun damage, and they eventually begin to show themselves as you age. The Observ Skin Diagnostics machine can expose these conditions earlier. Meaning you get a head start on resolving any issues. The machine uses a patented skin fluorescence and polarized light illumination technology.

The machine takes images of your skin using different lighting levels, revealing blemishes or underlying skin issues in incredible detail. The whole process is fast, non-invasive and pain-free.

The images reveal a detailed analysis for each different light filter and our visiting Ultraceuticals expert, Tracy Benporth, goes through these with you.

What happens next?

This diagnostic consult allows our Tracy to prescribe the correct products for your skin. We include the cost of a prescribed peel in the price of your appointment. And one of our expert therapists carries out this relaxing treatment resulting in a significant improvement of skin texture, colour and consistency.

Your total appointment time for both diagnosis and treatment is sixty minutes. This consultation costs $95 (saving $150 on the regular price).

Finally, you’ll be able to book a follow-up appointment when our visiting expert returns, to see the improvements to your skin and make any adjustments to your future treatments and skincare.

But there’s more!

At this special Observ Skin Diagnostics event we offer a couple of bonuses with your booking.

  • You receive a complimentary entry into our prize draw for an Ultraceuticals package worth $250.
  • PLUS you can also take advantage of a 15% ‘on the day’ discount on all Ultraceuticals full-sized products.

If you’re ready to book your sixty-minute appointment on 16th March at our Nelson Day Spa, please do get in touch HERE. We do request payment at time of booking to reserve your space.

Teenage Skin and How We Help

by

At Woman Beauty in Nelson, our experienced therapists can help your skin look its best, no matter what your age. In this week’s article we thought we’d focus on teenage skin and how we help.

teenage skin

Teenage Skin & How We Help:

The teenage years are full of hormonal changes, and these can have an adverse effect on teenage skin. Characteristically, teenage skin sees an increase in sebum production, resulting in oily skin and sometimes, acne.

Skincare for teenage skin:

Firstly, when it comes to teenage skin issues, prevention is always better than cure. 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, including acne. So, the result is your best-ever skin, no matter what your age!

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.

It’s never too soon to encourage your teenager to adopt a healthy skincare regime. Do call into the spa, we are always happy to discuss any teenage skin concerns and recommend suitable products.

First Facial:

Here at Woman we specialise and are trained in advanced skincare facials. We will give you honest advice and outstanding service with successful results. A facial isn’t just an anti-ageing treatment, the right facial can also be beneficial for teenagers.

If you know a teenager who suffers from red or sensitive teenage skin the Sothys Soothing Facial could be just the ticket.

Additionally, if you are in your latter teenage years and would like to address acne scarring, talk to us about Dermapen 4 treatment.

Once again, we are happy to offer advice on the right facial for your skin concerns, just call into the spa for advice or contact us HERE.

A vegan diet and glowing skin

by

February is vegan cuisine month. It’s no secret that you are what you eat… And some claim a vegan diet is the secret to glowing skin. At Woman Beauty we believe that you should enjoy life, including the food and drinks you love. Just remember everything in moderation!

Nevertheless, because there is a school of thought that plant-based eating is good for your skin… In this article, we thought we’d share three reasons why going vegan could have a positive effect on your complexion.

vegan diet glowing skin

A vegan diet and glowing skin:

Dairy… Not always a delight:

For anybody that suffers from acne, it may come as no surprise that serious breakouts come after an overload of ice cream! Dairy can be a major culprit when it comes to skin congestion. As dairy is eliminated in a vegan diet it can improve the complexion of those prone to acne.

If you have suffered from acne historically and need to address any associated scarring, talk to us about Dermapen 4.

Root vegetables and radiant skin:

Carrots and beetroot are rich in beta-carotene. But this red-orange pigment is not exclusive to root vegetables. You’ll also find it in pumpkin, squash, citrus and even greens like kale and spinach. Beta-carotene’s antioxidant properties can give you a healthy glow. But before you start munching on raw carrots with gay abandon, remember that too much beta-carotene can have adverse effects, giving your skin a yellowish tinge.

Banish fine lines with fruit and vegetables:

A plant-based diet is chock full of antioxidants. These are the critters that chase away the free radicals that can cause premature ageing.

Additionally, soy foods (a staple part of vegan diets) including tofu, edamame, and tempeh increase levels of hyaluronic acid. It’s hyaluronic acid that helps your skin retain water and stay plump and youthful!

Whether you’ve decided to eat a vegan diet or not, we can still help you achieve glowing skin. Check out our range of facials, or call in to talk to us about the best product for your skin types.

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.
