Nelson’s spring is on its way. Yay for warmer days and lighter layers. But… It’s also time to consider the gradual emergence of parts of ourselves that have been safely hidden away all winter. Your feet may not have seen daylight for months. Your legs might be looking decidedly wintry (in colour and texture), and your skin may have lost some of its usual glow. So, now is a good time to start thinking about beauty treatments for spring that will help you head into the new season feeling refreshed and revived!

The Bits That Are About to See Daylight Again

It’s easy to ignore the bits that stay safely hidden during winter. Feet are tucked into boots, legs disappear beneath trousers and tights. Even your nails may have received rather less attention than usual, particularly when your social calendar has mostly consisted of weekly dates with MasterChef Australia.

Then the weather starts to warm up. You try on a new pair of sandals and realise your toes aren’t quite ready for their spring debut. A pedicure or our ultimate treat for feet, “Soul to Sole” can soon take care of that. Remember that Soul to Sole is still on seasonal special, but only for a couple more weeks, so grab yours now!

And then there are your legs. After months under wraps, their first appearance can reveal a decidedly wintry pallor. If you’d prefer your first outing in shorts to suggest you’ve seen daylight at some point this year, a professional spray tan can provide a natural-looking boost of colour. We use Sunescape spray tans, with shades to suit different skin tones and your preferred depth of colour.

Has Winter Left Its Mark on Your Skin?

While some things have been hidden away all winter, your face hasn’t had that luxury.

Months of endless cool weather and indoor heating can leave skin feeling dry, dehydrated or simply a little lacklustre.

So, a professional facial is a great way to start the new season. Our therapists are highly trained to assess your skin and recommend a treatment that will give you back your glow.

Spring is also a good opportunity to think about the smaller details. A brow shape or lash treatment can help you feel ready to face the world again, particularly as your social life begins to extend beyond the sofa. And if you’ve decided that spring and summer will be “your” seasons, Helix Hybrid could be worth considering for longer-lasting results that will see you through plenty of social occasions.

And… The Bits Nobody Can See

Not everything we neglect over winter is visible.

Cold days, busy schedules and plenty of time spent sitting at desks, in the car or curled up indoors can leave the body feeling tense and tired. So, while manicures, facials and spray tans might help you look more prepared for spring, you need to prepare yourself mentally to face the world again!

A massage gives you time to switch off while helping to ease tired, tense muscles. Or, if you feel you’re overdue for a little more attention, a spa package or body ritual gives you the chance to retreat and invest in yourself for a few hours or more.

Ready for Spring?

You don’t need a dramatic transformation simply because the seasons are changing. But if winter has given you a convenient excuse to ignore a few things, spring is a very good reason to give them some attention again.

Book your appointments for spring beauty treatments and get ready to leave winter firmly behind you.
