Nutrition Month – Feed Your Face!

by

Did you know that March is Nutrition Month?

Nutrition Month aims to help people to make better food choices. The celebratory month began in the seventies, and over the years different themes have been used to highlight the importance of eating well. This year, we thought we’d celebrate nutrition month with our very own blog… Feed your face! No, we’re not talking about visiting all the wonderful restaurants near our new central city home in New Street, (although we’re parking that one for later)! Instead, we’re going to share five foods that are good for your skin, so you can quite literally feed your face!

Nutrition Month. Eat avocado for great skin

Five foods to help feed your face this nutrition month:

Start at the beginning… A is for Avocado

  • Avocados provide essential fatty acids which can act as a natural moisturiser for your skin. They’re also chock full of vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant.

A great start to the day

  • You know your Mum was right when she said breakfast was the most important meal of the day. It kick-starts your metabolism and gives you the energy you need for work or play! But you can make that breakfast count more if you get your Goldilocks on! Oatmeal is a nutritious whole grain and excellent skin food. It’s also a low GI food; in other words, it releases sugar into the bloodstream gradually. This means you’re less likely to reach for quick sugar fix snacks that certainly won’t be good for your skin!

Eat a rainbow

  • By eating a diet full of colourful, fresh fruits, berries and veggies you’ll get enough minerals, phytonutrients, and antioxidants to prevent damage from free radicals. As we head into autumn, there’s no need to lament the end of the berry season. Frozen berries will still help feed your face, and are easy to throw in your morning smoothie.

Let’s go nuts!

  • Nuts are fabulous foods for feeding your face with this nutrition month. Eat them raw and unsalted for a powerful protein-packed snack. They contain essential minerals and vitamins to keep your skin clear, smooth, and youthful. Choose walnuts to amp up collagen production because they are also high in omega-3 fatty acids. Select almonds and pecans for their high fibre content, as they’ll help to eliminate toxins and get you glowing in no time!

Don’t give up your chocolate

  • Just make it dark chocolate with at least 70% cocoa. Cacao beans are rich in antioxidants called flavonoids. These can help protect your skin from UV damage, but don’t ditch the sunscreen all together!

Once you start to feed your face this nutrition month, don’t forget to pop into our new premises at 26 New Street to find out how we can help amp up your skincare. We can’t wait to see you!

 

 

A new Nelson home for Woman!

by

We are officially on the countdown… From next Wednesday 6th March, we will be in our new central city home at 26 New Street, Nelson.

Woman Beauty Nelson

You can expect the same fabulous service, beautiful treatments and relaxing atmosphere, that you’ve come to know and love from Woman, but with a delightful new backdrop. Our new premises will have four, newly decorated, treatment rooms, including a doubles room for couples. We’ll still have our much-loved relax lounge so that you can escape your everyday stresses. We are even taking the tropical fish tank with us!

This move is exciting for us, but more importantly, it’s terrific news for you too!

  • We are going to be walking distance for most of you who come straight to us from your Nelson city workplace. So whether your appointment is at the end of your working day or during your busy lunchtime, we just saved you a few extra minutes! If you are driving to us from further afield, we have three dedicated client car parking spaces, and there’s plenty of on-street parking too.
  • Our new home is perfect for you to experience a little more of what Nelson has to offer. New Street is growing into a busy hub full of great businesses that will now be right on our doorstep. The Workshop, The New Street Steakhouse, DeVille and Rhythm and Brown are all perfect places to catch up with your friends and loved ones after you’ve had a relaxing treat at Woman. Plus with the Farmer’s Market soon to be moving into New Street as well, we think you will love our new home just as much as we will!
  • We have been working very hard to create a brand new space that is even more relaxing than the last! And we are confident we can continue to provide a wonderful escape from the every day for you in beautifully decorated surroundings.

If you want to be the first to visit us, please come along to our Woman Beauty Nelson Opening Party. Find all the details here. We can’t wait to share our new space with you and build new memories just down the road!

5 high summer beauty treatment essentials

by

Who can believe that we are almost half way through February? With summer sun and warm temperatures still here we thought we’d share five high summer beauty treatment essentials.

high summer beauty treatment

High Summer Beauty Treatment #1 – Put your fresh face forward

Has the summer taken its toll on your skin? Dehydration, air conditioning, summer sun and swimming in a chlorinated pool can all lead to dryer skin over the warmer months. One of the best ways to give your skin a much needed hydration boost is with our much-loved 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.

High Summer Beauty Treatment #2 – Move more after massage

Has the heat and humidity made your limbs feel heavy and swollen over the warmer months? A massage could be just the thing to encourage blood flow and reduce that swelling. A full body Island Massage is a perfect way to relax and drift away with the special blends of the Pacific. It can also help ease summer sluggishness. Buy yours HERE.

High Summer Beauty Treatment #3 – A summer treat for summer feet

If you’ve been living in your jandals this summer, or going bare foot in the back yard, there’s a chance that you’ve developed dry skin or rough cracked heels. The ultimate treat for feet, Soul to Sole is currently on special for summer. Buy yours HERE.

High Summer Beauty Treatment #4 – Top up your tan

So, you’re back at work, which means fewer beach days. If you want to extend your golden glow do it with a beautiful, natural looking Sunescape Spray Tan. Buy yours HERE.

High Summer Beauty Treatment #5 – Scents of a tropical island

The Pure Fiji Honey Melt is a delight for the summer senses. Enjoy a coconut and honey body treatment, this incudes a full body exfoliation and application of coconut milk and honey masque, then a neck back and shoulder massage and a heavenly head massage. Finish off with a power facial. This treatment is currently a summer special. Buy yours HERE.

 

All you need is LOVE… This Valentine’s Day!

by

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner… And all you need is LOVE. But this year, we encourage you to think a little differently about how you scatter those hearts around. Whether you’re a singleton, in a budding relationship or fully entrenched in coupledom… We challenge you to show yourself some love! Falling in love with yourself is a sure fire way to build your confidence and positivity.

Five ways to show yourself some love this Valentine’s Day

Be mindful

Taking five minutes to sit back and smell the metaphorical roses is balm for the soul. Find a space to call your own, sit comfortably and breathe! If you need a little guidance we can recommend the Headspace app. There’s a free version so you can try before you buy. Find out more HERE.

Sing yourself a love song

Okay, you don’t actually have to sing! Just think of three things you love about yourself. These might be physical traits, personality traits, or special talents you have. Recognise the good in yourself and raise the roof!

Just say no

Take this as a day you won’t try to be all things to all people. Don’t over stretch yourself or commit to things you really don’t want to do. Just look after #1 and do something that makes you happy.

Buy a gift for yourself

If chocolates and flowers are your thing, don’t wait for somebody else to surprise you, buy them for yourself!

Visit Woman

Escape from the everyday, take time and rediscover what it’s like to feel relaxed, stress free and simply yourself once again. We can help you travel to a tropical island with a Pure Fiji treatment, or  daydream your way through a decadent day spa package.

Valentine’s Day Competition.

We’re sharing some in spa love for Valentine’s Day! To celebrate YOU this Valentine’s Day we’re giving away a Head to Toe Reviver (worth $225) to one lucky winner. ENTER HERE.

P.S. Don’t forget to share with your friends and for each one who enters from your unique referral code you’ll receive a bonus entry*.

* Share prompt shows on submission. A maximum of five bonus entries will be awarded.

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.

Enjoy a Nelson holiday after the holidays!

by

It’s that time of year again! You’ve decked your halls, wrapped your gifts and attended numerous Christmas parties. Now you’re waiting for the arrival of your many house guests. This time of year is full-on. It’s no wonder, so many of us feel frazzled by the beginning of January! This year why not plan a Nelson holiday, after the holidays to ease you into 2019.

Here are three ways you can enjoy a Nelson holiday after the holidays!

  • Be a tourist in your backyard.

    We’re so lucky to live in beautiful Nelson. So take time out to appreciate everything that’s on offer. You could cycle the Great Taste Trail or kayak in Abel Tasman. Choose just one day to be a tourist in your backyard, relax and enjoy!

  • Head to the beach.

    Who doesn’t love a beach holiday? And in the Nelson region, we have plenty to choose from. Don’t forget to prepare for your beach excursion with a visit to Woman Beauty. We have a full range of Ultraceuticals sun protection to fill your Nelson holiday beach bag. A Sunescape spray tan and a wax in all the right places will get you swimsuit ready. We are open until 24th December and have taken on extra staff so you can prepare for your Nelson beach holiday.

  • Escape to the Islands

    Promise yourself a Nelson holiday staycation in the New Year at Woman Beauty. A Fiji Holiday treatment is the perfect way to recharge your batteries after the excesses of the festive season. Take half a day to pretend you are on holiday. Start with the signature Tropical Paradise Ritual, enjoy crème scrub exfoliation followed by a relaxing massage with exotic oil then be painted with body butter, wrapped up while enjoying a Fijian scalp treatment with warm oil. This pampering wouldn’t be complete without adding a spa manicure and pedicure then enjoy time out with a complimentary refreshment in the relax lounge. The perfect gift to add to your Christmas wishlist! We reopen on Monday 7th January, so book your New Year treat to yourself, today!

Happy holidays from the whole team at Woman Beauty!

 

Get party ready in Nelson

by

The festive season is almost upon us, which means it’s time to get ‘party ready’. At Woman Beauty Day Spa in Nelson we can help you do exactly that!

Five ways to get party ready in Nelson

  • Get your glow on

    Who doesn’t want refreshed, luminous skin for party nights? We know it’s a busy time of year, but that doesn’t mean you can’t give your skin a pre-Christmas treat with a facial. The Ultra Power Facial includes a cleanse, peel and mask. It takes just thirty minutes so can be scheduled into your lunchtime. If you can spare a little more time, the Advanced Signature Facial utilises advanced serums, peels and masks to correct skin imperfections. Check out our full range of facials HERE.

  • Brows that WOW and luscious lashes

    Professional brow and lash tinting will add depth and colour to your eyes. Say adios to light, feathery eyebrows and spindly eyelashes. Let our professional beauty therapists give you party ready peepers with an Eyelash and Eyebrow Tint and Tidy – book yours here!

  • Prepare for your party frock

    Step into your summer party frock feeling fuzz-free and lightly tanned. For perfectly smooth party legs invest in a full-leg wax. And if you don’t want to wear tights but still want a flawless golden glow a Sunescape spray tan is just the ticket!

  • Meet and greet with a mani

    Make a marvellous first impression when you’re shaking hands with new acquaintances. Again, a mini manicure takes just thirty-minutes so you can squeeze one in to your lunch break. Go for a Shellac finish to be sure your fingers stay flawlessly finished throughout the festive season.

  • Get your glam on

    Parties are the ideal opportunity to step up the glamour a little (or a lot!),  so why not get party ready by updating your make up look? Here at Woman Beauty in Nelson, we are proud to offer you Jane Iredale make up. This high-performing mineral cosmetics range provides effective skincare benefits with modern, wearable colour and a soft-focus, luminous effect that brings your natural beauty to light.

To ensure none of you miss out on appointments before we close for our annual break, we have called in Holly Poirier to help in the lead up to Christmas. Be sure to ask for her when making your appointment if she is the therapist you would like to see. We will be booking appointments right up to 2:00 p.m. on Monday 24th December. Contact us to arrange yours!

by

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

  • 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!
