As a beauty editor, there’s something about a skincare sale that really ignites something inside of me. It’s like the best kind of adrenaline rush. Not only am I instantly determined to score the best discounts, but I’m also determined to sort through every on-sale product and curate an edit of must-have, can’t-miss, and don’t-want-to-live-without products. It’s a good thing, too, because that’s literally my job…
That’s exactly what I did with the latest skincare sale to come across my radar. For Memorial Day Weekend, SkinStore is offering up to 50% off some iconic brands and products. Plus, if you use the code EXTRA10 at checkout, you’ll get an extra 10% off. This is clearly a big deal, so rest assured I didn’t take it lightly. After three hours of online shopping (yes, three), I think I found the 17 best products to buy before they run out. Take it from your friendly neighborhood beauty editor, these products are worth purchasing before they sell out.
One of my favorite ways to reapply sunscreen is to use a sunscreen stick. It’s easy, it’s quick, and it’s convenient. This one offers SPF 50 and antioxidants to boost the efficacy of the sunscreen while preventing free radical damage.
Summer and ingrown hair are synonymous. Whether you’re waxing, shaving, or using any other temporary form of hair removal, it’s likely an ingrown hair (or multiple) will pop up. These pads, which are soaked in AHAs, will help dislodge ingrown hairs and brighten subsequent discoloration.
These eye gels are next level. I use them whenever my eyes feel dull, dry, and puffy, whether that’s from allergies or one-too-many glasses of wine the night before. I love the cooling effect they give as well as the elastin, peptides, and antioxidants they offer.
When I tell you I’m obsessed with this lash serum, I mean I’m OBSESSED with this lash serum. It’s the only one I’ve ever tried that showed real, visible results after just a couple of weeks of use. Read my full review and then buy it (trust me).
Here it is—my favorite skin device that uses microcurrent to tone and contour facial muscles. When I use this regularly, my face looks tight and lifted, like a facelift without the, well, facelift.
As a beauty editor, I’ve tried so many vitamin C serums, and this one is (wait for it) my all-time favorite. It contains 20% vitamin C, which means it’s incredibly brightening. Seriously, my sun damage and dark spots don’t stand a chance against this.
This tool came highly recommended by my friends who said it made a visible improvement in the appearance of their skin after one use. The medical-grade steel stays cold on its own, but you can put it in the fridge for an even cooler temperature. Massage it over the skin to relax facial muscles, minimize puffiness, and improve circulation.
Do I wish I was spending my summer on a Greek island? Yes. Am I? No. Still, I can incorporate a Grecian element into my skincare routine with this antioxidant-packed serum. Full of resveratrol and minerals, it deeply hydrates and nourishes the skin.
Use this if you have keratosis pilaris (AKA small, harmless bumps that cover the back of your arms and legs), or if you just have dry, rough skin like yours truly. With pumice buffing beads and 10% AHAs, it offers both physical and chemical exfoliation for a holistic smoothing effect.
If you want to even your skin tone and target dark spots specifically, this serum is seriously good. Instead of causing irritation like other brightening serums sometimes do, this one actually calms the skin and delivers moisture thanks to a milky texture and lots of olive-derived squalane.
This wand uses a transdermal delivery system to boost the absorption of products by up to 30% while increasing microcirculation. Simply apply whatever product you prefer, put the wand in contact with your skin, and massage in circular motions. Easy. And at 50% off its original price, you can’t really get a better deal.
This celeb-loved product contains pure minerals, magnesium oxide, and sodium bicarbonate crystals to gently exfoliate the skin, literally polishing away dullness and dryness. There’s also brown sea algae to replenish moisture and support the skin barrier. Trust me, this works like a charm on rough, hyperpigmented skin.
If your moisture barrier needs some help, this one’s for you. This cream is basically the solution to dry, flaky, peeling, red, and irritated skin. With copper and zinc, which act as antibacterial agents, as well as thermal spring water, which is Avène’s trademark ingredient, it soothes and calms needy skin.
If you ask me, this is a true summer skincare staple. This daily lotion is cooling and soothing, so it feels like a dream on hot, sun-soaked skin. With meadow sweet, thyme, butterfly bush, white willow bark, and Icelandic kelp, it calms irritation and inflammation and protects against environmental aggressors.
When I want to get rid of the blackheads around my nose and chin (which is always), this serum always does the trick. 2% salicylic acid penetrates into the pores to clear blockages and keep them looking small and tight.
Yuzu oil and turmeric make this 3-in-1 product so brightening. Use it as a moisturizer, a sleeping mask, or a makeup primer and reap all the antioxidant benefits.
