Boise Hair Salon Tips For Caring For Your Skin Between Facials

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Incorporating facials into your skincare routine is a wonderful way to keep your skin clean, hydrated, and free of blemishes. While it can be beneficial to get facials every 4 weeks, the ideal time between facials depends on your individual skincare needs, concerns, and the type of treatment you get. No matter how often you go, however, unDONE would like to provide you with the following Boise hair salon tips for caring for your skin between facial appointments.

Follow Skincare Recommendations

Your Boise esthetician can offer tips to help you maintain a skincare routine that works best for your skin type and goals. It’s important to follow their advice and make sure you commit to their recommendations every morning and night. Consistency is important for any skincare plan and keeping up with your routine will help you achieve the best results.

Don’t  Mess With Your Face

It can be super tempting to pick at blemishes or try to pop a pimple on your own. However, doing so is NEVER a good idea! Picking or squeezing at your skin can lead to serious damage, infections, and scars. Instead, it’s always best to leave blemishes alone and wait for the guidance of your esthetician.

Always Wear Sunscreen

Wearing sunscreen should always be a part of your daily skin care routine, no matter what season it is. Spring, summer, fall, and winter sun rays can be damaging to your skin, causing signs of aging and increasing your risk of developing skin cancer. That’s why it’s especially important to apply sunscreen daily to protect your skin from the damaging effects of the sun’s UV rays.

Drink Plenty of Water

While applying moisturizer helps keep your skin hydrated, it’s better to keep your skin hydrated from the inside out by drinking plenty of water. Staying hydrated is especially important during the hot Idaho summers.

Boise Hair Salon: Summer Skin Care Tips

/0 Comments/in , , /by

It’s summer in the Treasure Valley and the sun is shining bright! That’s why the professional estheticians at unDONE Salon would like to provide you with the following Boise hair salon tips to keep your skin glowing, soft, hydrated and well-protected this summer.

Exfoliate, Exfoliate, Exfoliate

Summer swimming, hot weather, and sun exposure can cause our skin to become dry and flaky. Exfoliating on a regular basis will help remove dry, dead skin cells while increasing blood flow, and help you achieve soft, glowing skin. However, it’s important to only exfoliate 2-3 times per week. Over-exfoliation can strip away your skin’s natural oils, which can leave it dry and irritated. Exfoliating will also help prevent unwanted acne and ingrown hairs.

Take Time To Moisturize

While heavy lotions can make your body feel sticky during the summer, your skin still needs hydration. Instead of using thick, rich moisturizers that you would normally use during the fall and winter months, try opting for a lightweight, oil-free moisturizer that contains soothing aloe vera during the hot weather. These products will not only help hydrate your skin but prevent clogged pores that can lead to unwanted acne when you sweat. It’s also a good idea to choose a moisturizer that contains SPF to further protect your skin from the summer sun.

Drink Plenty Of Water

Beautiful, hydrated skin starts from the inside out. When you don’t drink enough water, skin can appear dull, making imperfections like wrinkles stand out. Drinking water helps plump skin cells, and smooth fine lines. Even more, your body requires water to function properly. That’s why you should drink up to 8 glasses of water a day. This is especially important during the hot days of summer when you can easily become dehydrated.

Use Sunscreen

The damage caused by the sun is one of the main causes of skin cancer. That’s why it’s important to use the highest rated sunscreen possible and limit the amount of time you are out in the sun. Even if you don’t immediately feel the effects of a sunburn, the damage is already done. While getting a tan is beautiful, harming your skin is not. Luckily, unDONE offers a much safer and healthier alternative when it comes to bronzing your skin for summer without the UV light or dangerous chemicals with our Boise spray tan.

Minimize Your Makeup

During the summer, we sweat, and sweat doesn’t combine well with our foundations, mascaras, powder, and eyeliners. Fortunately, summer is the perfect season for the less is more concept. Instead of heavy foundations, try using a tinted moisturizer that contains SPF. If you can’t live without your eyeliner or mascara, try a waterproof formula to avoid smudging throughout the day. And last but not least, don’t battle unwanted oil with excessive powder. Instead, try refreshing your face using tissue or blotting papers.

unDONE Salon

Get into the full swing of summer with a variety of skin care treatments at unDONE Salon. Our highly trained estheticians offer superior quality services in a fun, friendly, and relaxed environment. You can find us near the Boise Towne Square Mall at 738 N. Benjamin Lane or give us a call at (208) 287-2010. If you prefer to book your own appointment, you can schedule online now!

unDONE Salon: Fall Skin Care Treatments

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A change of the seasons, especially here in Idaho, means a change in the way our skin reacts to the elements. As a result, dryness, breakouts and a dull complexion are often things we battle during the fall and winter months. When this happens it’s important to review your skin care needs and seek the advice from your unDONE esthetician. She will be able to provide you with a variety of skincare treatment options that might be right for you.

The good news is that you won’t need to revamp your entire routine. Instead, only minor adjustments in your regimen can go along way. Below are some of the best treatments unDONE offers to keep your skin healthy as we transition to fall.

Chemical peel

A chemical peel is an exfoliation treatment that combats a wide range of skincare concerns like aging, sun damage, acne, mild scarring and uneven skin tone. A light chemical peel provided by the esthetician at our Boise hair salon, are non-invasive treatments that remove the upper layers of dead and damaged skin while encouraging skin cell regeneration. The strength and formulation of the chemical solution applied always depends on the individual needs of our client.

Exfoliation

Exfoliation is the removal of dry surface skin cells through the use of scrubbing, brushing or microdermabrasion. Exfoliation is considered one of the most important techniques your Boise hair salon esthetician recommends to resolve certain skin problems to achieve healthy, glowing skin.

Facial

A facial is one of the most popular treatments performed by the esthetician at our Boise hair salon. A facial generally includes cosmetics removal, skin cleansing, exfoliation, facial massage, and a treatment mask followed up with serums, moisturizers, and sunblock. For most clients, facials can be scheduled out every four weeks. However, your esthetician may recommend an alternative schedule based upon your individual needs.

Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is a resurfacing process that sands the epidermal (outermost) layer of the skin, using a wand tipped machine with crushed diamonds. This form of exfoliation can be quite helpful when it comes to enhancing your skin’s texture while eliminating fine lines and boosting the effectiveness of product and serum penetration.

Micro-Needling

Get healthier, fresher skin with a micro-needling treatment! Non-invasive, this treatment helps to erase scars and smooth wrinkles with a device that gently rolls across the face, pricking your skin with tiny needles. Your skin reacts immediately by producing more collagen, helping to diminish scars and wrinkles while improving the overall look of your skin! This popular Boise hair salon treatment can be used on any skin type and is a brief procedure with minimal recovery time.

Waxing

Body waxing at unDONE Salon helps to eliminate unwanted hair from the root. It is not only convenient and cost effective but long lasting and quick as well. Once waxed, your skin should be smooth for approximately 2-4 weeks. Body waxing also doubles as an exfoliant by shedding your skin of the top layer of dead skin cells. And as an added bonus, body waxing does not consist of harsh chemicals which can irritate your skin, and there’s no chance of cutting yourself with a razor!

Which Treatment is Right For You?

So what treatment option is right for you? All of the methods listed above are great for almost everyone. If you are starting to see visible signs of sun damage or premature aging, consider booking an appointment at unDONE Salon to see what skin care treatment would work best for you.

Boise Hair Salon Tips To Save Your Summer Skin

/0 Comments/in , , /by

It’s summertime and the livin’s easy… From swimming to camping to outdoor concerts, everyone is making the most out of the warm weather and long days ahead. While all these activities are good for your soul, your skin may be a little less enthusiastic about the outdoor elements. That’s why unDONE Salon would like to provide you with the following tips to keep your skin healthy and beautiful all summer long.

Use Sunscreen

Even if you’re outside for a short period of time, exposure to the sun’s harmful rays can be dangerous to your skin. To maintain protection, add sunscreen to your daily, morning beauty routine. If you know you’re going to be outside for longer periods of time, take extra sunscreen with you and make sure to reapply it every couple of hours.

*Keep in mind that it’s important to use an SPF that is 30+ or higher and to shade your skin whenever possible.

Soothe The Sunburn

The first thing you need to do when fighting an unwanted sunburn is to get the inflammation to go down. Aloe vera is a natural anti-inflammatory that helps to sooth and cool the skin. Ibuprofen can also help to reduce swelling and redness. Be sure to drink lots of water since a sunburn will actually draw fluid to the skin surface and away from the rest of the body.

Exfoliate Often

Just because winter is behind us doesn’t mean you should skip out on exfoliating your skin. To maintain smooth, clear skin, gently exfoliate at least twice a week. This will help to remove any dead skin cells along with dirt, sweat and product buildup. After you exfoliate, make sure to use a hydrating cream to help seal in the moisture.

Clear Your Pores

Deep cleaning your skin with a monthly facial will help it to breath and absorb powerful serums. Hot summer temperatures trigger oil production and clog pores, especially when you wear makeup. A monthly facial will help your clear your skin while soothing sensitivity. unDONE Salon offers a variety of facial treatments to choose from that will help keep your pores healthy and your skin radiant!

Throw Away Your Razor

With the hot summer weather, we tend to wear fewer clothes which means exposing your skin to the world. If you find yourself sick of having to shave everyday it’s probably time for a body waxing treatment. Whether you’re a waxing beginner or an experienced pro, unDONE Salon offers a wide range of body waxing services to help you maintain smooth, summer skin!  

Skip the Tanning Bed

A Boise spray tan is the quickest and safest way to a gorgeous glow. Tanning beds and overexposure to the sun can be dangerous. If you want to maintain a sun-kissed look during the dog days of summer, unDONE Salon offers a naturally formulated spray tan formula that fortifies your skin’s natural defenses with fast drying, quick absorbing results.

The Benefits of a Winter Facial at unDONE Salon

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Winter in Idaho can be a wonderful time of year with the beautiful snow and fun outdoor activities. However, the harsh cold air combined with dry indoor heat can wreak havoc on your skin. That’s why the Estheticians at unDONE Salon recommend a winter facial treatment to help keep your complexion smooth, healthy, and beautiful.

Despite the common misconception that you are safe from the sun during the winter, harsh UV rays can penetrate even the cloudiest skies causing damage to your skin. This coupled with the   effect of cold winds and lack of moisture in the air can leave your skin dry and irritated.

A winter facial at unDONE Salon can help counteract these effects by improving circulation, buffing away dry skin, and restoring moisture and hydration.

Stimulate & Exfoliate

By improving circulation to the face, we stimulate our skin’s natural renewal, leaving a younger, smoother complexion. Stimulation can come in a variety of forms including exfoliants, masks and peels that help to remove dead skin cells, revealing the new skin underneath. Since our skin changes over time it’s also just as important to use the right skin care products. Proper exfoliation helps the ingredients in your skin care products to absorb more deeply, maximising your skin care results.  

Chemical Peels

Speaking of exfoliation, winter is the perfect time for a chemical peel treatment. A chemical peel is an exfoliation treatment used to combat a wide range of skin care concerns like aging, sun damage, acne, mild scarring and uneven skin tone. Depending on the strength and formulation, a chemical peel will also help to battle fine lines, pigmentation and smooth tone texture while ultimately slowing down the aging process.

Deep Cleansing

Deep cleansing is important for all skin types but particularly to those who suffer from acne. A winter facial at our Boise hair salon will help to clear your pores while promoting healing and restoration. While daily cleansing may seem adequate for makeup removal, a winter facial will provide you a deeper cleansing result by removing unwanted dirt, makeup, and grime deep within your pores helping your skin to breath.

Moisturise

Finally, the professional skin care estheticians at unDONE Salon will nourish your complexion with a moisturiser best suited for your skin care needs. In general, our skin requires more moisture and protection during the winter. That’s why it’s important to remain vigilant about protecting our skin from the sun and harsh winter elements with an SPF moisturizer with protective ingredients.

Schedule An Appointment

One of the greatest benefits of a winter facial at unDONE Salon is the deep relaxation, stress relief and inner warmth that comes from taking the time to nurture ourselves. The professional skin care estheticians at unDONE Salon will provide you with a thorough skin analysis and consultation to help you look and feel your best this winter. Our elite team Boise hair salon stylists, estheticians, and nail technicians can help you maintain the perfect hair, skin and nails for any season.
