About Sublime Skincare
Sublime Skincare is a private boutique beauty therapy clinic situated in Lowburn near Cromwell in Central Otago. Founded by qualified beauty therapist Nicola in Rangiora in 2008, the clinic has since relocated to a tranquil, custom-designed treatment space offering professional care and clinic-grade skincare.
The studio focuses on a curated service menu designed to support long-term skin health rather than quick fixes. Treatments range from customized corrective and signature facials, dermaplaning, and performance exfoliation to precision body waxing, pedicures, lash and brow styling, and cosmetic teeth whitening.
Operating strictly by appointment, Sublime Skincare prioritizes individualized attention and a serene, discrete environment for every client. Online booking is available 24/7, making it easy to schedule consultations and treatments.
Sublime Skincare: Bespoke Beauty and Skin Therapy in Lowburn
Tucked away in the quiet rural surrounds of Lowburn just outside Cromwell, Sublime Skincare provides a tranquil sanctuary dedicated to healthy, radiant skin. Originally established in Rangiora in 2008, the clinic has since brought its specialized approach to Central Otago, welcoming clients into a discreet, purpose-built treatment space designed for total relaxation.
At the helm is Nicola, an experienced beauty therapist holding a Diploma in Applied Aesthetics from the National School of Aesthetics alongside prestigious international ITEC and CIDESCO qualifications. With a philosophy centered on careful skin analysis and high-performance, clinical-grade formulations, Nicola crafts treatments that respect the skin journey rather than seeking superficial quick fixes.
Tailored Skin Treatments and Advanced Care
The treatment menu at Sublime Skincare is deliberately selective, prioritizing clinical efficacy and personalized care over generic day-spa offerings. New clients often begin with the About Face consultation, which pairs an in-depth conversation about individual skin concerns with a gentle cleanse and detailed analysis to design a home-care regimen and in-clinic plan.
For ongoing rejuvenation, the Sublime Signature Facial delivers customized care utilizing targeted active ingredients for concerns such as hydration loss, congestion, and premature ageing. Those looking for physical exfoliation can experience dermaplaning, which smooths the surface by gently removing dead skin cells and vellus fuzz. Performance facials are also offered for clients whose skin has been pre-conditioned, delivering higher-strength exfoliations across targeted treatment courses.
Complete Grooming from Lashes to Pedicures
Beyond specialized facial therapy, Sublime Skincare provides a comprehensive suite of grooming treatments executed with meticulous precision. The eye menu features lash and brow tinting, hybrid stains designed to tint both skin and hair, and brow lamination to achieve full, groomed arches without morning fuss.
Pedicures are approached with equal care, from efficient mini services to indulgent 90-minute Deluxe Pedicures that feature callus-softening heel tonics, purifying masks, foot soaks, and gel polish. In addition, the studio offers cosmetic teeth whitening utilizing LED and ultrasonic technology, complete with paired treatment options for two people at once.
Operating strictly by appointment from Wednesday through Saturday, with late evenings available upon request, Sublime Skincare offers Central Otago residents a discrete, peaceful environment focused entirely on personal well-being.
