Sunscreen should never be far away

Quality sun protection is so important in our Nelson summer. Ultraceuticals UV Protective Daily Moisturiser Range are a perfect way to stay protected every day.

Choose from:

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

The Ultraceuticals Sun Active SPF50+ Range has a great range of products to slip into your beach bag.

Choose from:

  • 130 ml Face & Body lotion Airless Pump – $59
  • 60 ml Face Cream – $59
  • 180 ml Clear Body Spray – $59

Get fresh with a facial

We couldn’t write an article on summer skin tips without including a facial recommendation. A facial is a great way to prepare your skin for any change of season. For a hydration boost try the Sothys Hydra 3Ha Facial. It’s The crème de la crème of facials creating a unique triple Hyaluronic acid approach to restore, reactivate and rejuvenate all the key elements of skin hydration. 71% increased skin moisture levels after just one treatment. Buy yours HERE.

Stay cool as a cucumber

Keep your shower cool in summer, especially after sun exposure, as hot showers dry out your skin further. Call in and talk to us about the Jane Iredale hydrating face sprays. They’re perfect products to throw in your handbag. A quick spritz will cool you down when you get hot and bothered. They also set your makeup for a long-lasting, smooth finish.

Don’t get in a rash

No summer skin tips post would be complete without this hero product! Pure Fiji Dilo Rescue Body Spray is a summer handbag essential. Refresh, Revive and Replenish skin instantly with this soothing natural spray. Made with dilo, aloe and ngi grass extracts to soothe and hydrate skin for 24 hours, discover a gentle yet highly effective way to soothe, moisturize and nourish irritated skin affected by sunburn, dehydration, insect bites, rashes or shaving.

Fake it don’t bake it

It’s common to feel a little exposed the first time you change into your togs each year, especially if your limbs haven’t seen the light of day in a while; but a spray tan can do wonders for the confidence. The Sunescape natural colours come in light, medium or dark, so choose the one that suits you best to get Nelson summer ready in one appointment!

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.

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.

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.

 

Your holiday countdown beauty checklist

by

Easter is quite literally around the corner, and if you’ve booked an Island getaway over the holiday period this post is for you… It’s your holiday countdown beauty checklist!

holiday countdown beauty checklist

Face your Feet – You might not have placed your sandals back in the closet yet, so the chances are your feet may be in fairly good shape… But sometimes wearing jandals and bare feet over the summer months can lead to hard skin and cracked heels… So before you head away treat yourself to a spa pedicure. Be sure to choose a Shellac finish, so your painted toes stay in tip-top condition over your holiday. Soul to Sole, the ultimate treat for feet, is currently one of our Autumn specials, and a great way to relax into holiday mode!

Fight the Fuzz – Check out our range of waxing treatments HERE. If you’re heading to the Islands, we’d recommend a full leg and bikini wax, so you feel perfectly confident in your togs. Don’t be tempted to pull out the razor, as the heat and sand can irritate skin with cuts or nicks. Try to plan your wax appointment at least three days before you head away, as your skin will need to calm. We stock the Pure Fiji Dilo Rescue range that can help to soothe, settle, nourish and replenish freshly waxed skin; ask us about it at your appointment.

Holiday Hands – A few days before your holiday is also a great time to give your hands a holiday makeover. A mini manicure takes just thirty-minutes so you can book one in your lunch break. Again, go for a Shellac finish to be sure your fingers stay flawlessly finished throughout your break.

Get your Glow On – Get a head start on beach duties! A Sunescape spray tan will give you a feel-good boost as you head into holiday mode. Your spray tan should always be the last box you tick on your holiday countdown beauty checklist. You might want to think about going a shade darker pre-holiday, as the darker the tan, the longer it lasts. Don’t forget to stock up on your sun creams and lotions; we have a fabulous range at Woman.

Call us today, and we’ll book your appointments for your holiday countdown beauty checklist!

Heading to Nelson beaches? Pack these beauty tips!

by

The holidays may be over for some of you, but summer is still here. There will be plenty of days to head to one of the many beautiful Nelson beaches so we thought we’d share some of our top beauty tips to pack in your beach tote.

beauty tips nelson beaches

  1. Fake it first – If your Christmas holiday glow has faded, you might want to top up your tan before you slip into your togs. Our summer seasonal specials continue to run until the end of February, so take advantage of our two for one Sunescape Spray Tanning offer before you head to one of our Nelson beaches. Sunescape Spray Tans are usually, $60 each, buddy up with your bestie and you both get a tan, but you’ll only get charged for one! Buy yours here.
  2. But don’t forget your sunscreen – A fake bake is no protection from the sun’s damaging UV rays. The secret to enjoying our Nelson beaches is to be sun smart, that way you won’t end up with lasting sun damage as a beach souvenir. The Ultraceuticals SunActive range was formulated to provide very high sun protection against one of the harshest climates in the world. Can’t bear to be bare-faced at the beach? Then slip an Ultraceuticals UV Protective Daily Moisturiser SPF 30 Sheer Tint in your tote. This broad spectrum SPF 30 daily moisturiser (free of nanoparticles) offers triple skin protection with a hint of colour. If you want a little more coverage, but still want to keep your beach look natural, come in and talk to us about the Jane Iredale mineral makeup range, our team can offer you makeup advice as well as beauty tips.
  3. Calm yourself – Even the most dedicated slip, slop, slap enthusiast will admit to the odd occasion where they have missed a patch of skin with sunblock. If this happens to you, be sure to keep a handy spray bottle of Pure Fiji Dilo Rescue range. This product can help to soothe, nourish and replenish skin.
  4. Plan if you can – Everybody loves an impromptu beach trip, but like a good girl scout always be prepared. Keep your waxing regime up to date, that way you won’t be tempted to reach for the razor because shaving right before you head to the beach is a rash waiting to happen! We also recommend that you don’t go to the beach straight after your waxing appointment, your skin needs to calm, so if you’re a real beach babe, think about making your wax appointments in the evening through the summer months, that way you’ll be able to play during the day!
  5. Make the most of your pedicure – You might love the feeling of sand between your toes, but sadly it can also play havoc with your beautifully painted toes. So, summer is a great time to splurge a little extra on your pedi. Upgrade to a Shellac finish for just $25; it’s definitely worth the investment!

Remember if you need any more beach beauty tips or product advice, call in to see the team at Woman Beauty.

summer holiday ready nelson

Before you head to the beach, check out our simple three-step guide to ensure that you are summer holiday ready!

  • As you reach for your togs, it’s also time to tame the fuzz – Check out our range of waxing treatments HERE. We recommend a full leg and bikini wax to get you started, or add an underarm too! Ditch the razor, as the heat and sand can irritate skin with cuts or nicks.

We stock the Pure Fiji Dilo Rescue range that can help to soothe, settle, nourish and replenish freshly waxed skin; ask us about it at your appointment.
  • Get your golden glow on with fake bake – It’s common to feel a little exposed the first time you change into your togs each year, especially if your limbs haven’t seen the light of day in a while; but a spray tan can do wonders for the confidence. That’s why we’ve added Sunescape Spray Tanning to our seasonal specials this quarter. Usually, $60 each, buddy up with your bestie and you both get a tan, but you’ll only be charged for one! These Sunescape natural colours come in light, medium or dark, so choose the one that suits you best to get summer holiday ready in one appointment!
  • Slip into your jandals – Treat your toes to some Shellac love. Its long-lasting properties are perfect for the holidays. Shellac can be added to any pedi for just $25 extra. Or treat your fingers too, check out our summer specials for the Mini Mani/Pedi Combo with Shellac. Buy yours HERE.

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!

If you’re inspired by our spring beauty tips and would like to touch up your toes and show your skin some love in time for the warmer weather check out this month’s Grab A Treat!

Date night in Nelson? How to prep like a superstar!

Whether you’re meeting a blind date, an old flame, or enjoying a date night with your partner of many years… There’s something about getting ready for a romantic encounter that sets the heart aflutter in anticipation of the evening ahead. At Woman Beauty in Nelson, we’re here to help you look and feel your best.

Date Night Nelson

Here are 5 date night beauty tips.

  • Be prepared to hold hands – That means making time for a mani!
  • Get the glow – Don’t let dry, flaky skin get in the way of love… As we head into the cooler Nelson months, the 02 or anti-aging trio can help combat seasonal skin changes. The infusion of the rejuvenating serum, with the help of oxygen, will increase the levels of hydration in your skin. Book your facial a few days before date night and your skin will look silky soft, dewy and youthful!
  • Fight the fuzz – As we head into the winter months and you start to hide under layers it can be tempting to let go of your regular maintenance, but date night is just around the corner, and if things heat up you’ll want to be fuzz free! Don’t be tempted to reach for the razor, you could end up with a rash and redness where you don’t want it! Check out this article from the archives with eight tips to maximise the effectiveness of your waxing treatment.
  • Scrub up – Our full body exfoliation washed away with Vichy jets followed up with a spray tan will leave you with a very sunny complexion and a mood to match.
  • Smouldering, smoky eyes – Mesmerise your date over the candlelit table! We can help you make those peepers pop. An eyelash and eyebrow tint and tidy is a great way to start but talk to us about the fabulous Jane Iredale mineral makeup range.
