Our Current Go-To’s for Skin, Self-Care & Downtown Salem
At Aster Aesthetics, we’ve always believed aesthetics is about more than treatments alone. The small rituals, daily habits, trusted products, and local places we return to all play a role in how we care for ourselves and feel confident in our skin.
From SPF we actually enjoy wearing to the downtown Salem businesses we love supporting, these are a few of our current favorites — and the little things that make us feel most like ourselves.
Daily SPF We Actually Want to Wear
If there’s one product category we’ll never stop talking about, it’s sunscreen.
Consistent SPF use is one of the most important investments you can make in your skin health — helping protect against premature aging, hyperpigmentation, collagen breakdown, and environmental damage. The best sunscreen is ultimately the one you’ll wear daily, which is why we love formulas that feel elegant, lightweight, and easy to incorporate into real life.
Lately, we’ve been reaching for favorites from Colorescience for their blend of sun protection, cosmetic finish, and effortless wearability. Whether you prefer a glowier finish or something more natural and balanced, having SPF that doubles beautifully into your routine makes consistency easier.
The Lip Products We Keep Within Reach
There’s something about a good lip product that instantly makes you feel more put together.
Hydration, soft color, and barrier support can make such a difference — especially during busy days, treatment days, or changing seasons. We’ve been loving a mix of glosses, balms, and subtle lip tones from Anfisa that give that effortless “your lips, but better” feel.
Natural, healthy lips will always be in.
Treatments We Love for Long-Term Skin Health
At Aster, we focus heavily on treatments that support skin quality, collagen production, and natural-looking results over time.
One treatment we consistently love is SkinPen microneedling for improving texture, supporting collagen stimulation, and helping patients maintain healthy, resilient skin. It’s one of our favorite treatments for long-term skin health and prevention.
We’re also big believers in subtle, balanced neuromodulator treatments like Daxxify when approached thoughtfully and conservatively. Softening repetitive movement while still allowing natural expression is always the goal.
And when it comes to skin recovery and barrier support, Hydrinity continues to be one of our favorite additions for hydration, healing support, and maintaining overall skin balance.
Supporting the Businesses That Make Downtown Salem Special
One of our favorite parts of being located downtown is getting to be surrounded by other incredible local businesses.
Whether it’s dinner at Wild Pear, stopping into Style House & Co., or grabbing a meal at Isaac's Downtown, supporting local has always felt important to us.
There’s something special about being part of a community filled with passionate small business owners who genuinely care about the experience they create.
More Than Aesthetic Treatments
At the end of the day, aesthetics is never just about one product or one appointment. It’s about creating routines, habits, and experiences that help you feel comfortable, confident, and cared for.
Natural. Balanced. Elevated.
Not just in treatments — but in the way we approach care overall.
We’re proud to care for patients in Salem, Keizer, and throughout Marion County, while welcoming patients from across the Willamette Valley. Our approach centers on natural, balanced results, with a strong focus on long-term skin health and integrity. Wherever you’re starting, we meet you there —creating personalized plans that evolve with you and deliver refined, intentional results
