Best Early Black Friday Skin-Care Deals
Solawave
November 11 to 30: Believe us when we say you don’t want to miss out on Solawave’s buy one get one free promo. Just buy any item of your choice at full price and get another for absolutely free — so, if you want to treat yourself to a red light skin-care device and a loved one, you can have your cake and eat it too.
SK-II
November 9 to 27: For the first time ever, Japanese luxury brand SK-II is offering 15% off sitewide. If you are new to Pitera, it’s basically a process akin to the yeast and fermentation that makes sake. “I can honestly say it’s one of the only beauty products that I’m still using 10 years after I was first introduced to it,” Allure editor-in-chief Jessica Cruel said of the iconic Facial Treatment Essence. “During the brief times when I’ve slacked on my SK-II essence habit, my skin didn’t have the same radiance and would dry out faster.” Convinced yet? Hope so.
Sephora
TBD: You’ll have to wait a little longer for Sephora’s Black Friday deals (worth it) but there are some serious skin-care treats that are half-off just chilling in the sale section waiting for a new home. Pop Ouai’s Chill Pills and Ole Henriksen’s Phat Glow Facial into your cart for an at-home spa day for less than $50. Ahh.
Amazon
TBD: It seems like just yesterday that the second Prime Day ended but, simply put, Amazon never stops dishing out deals. Go all out with a spankin’ new skin-care device like the portable NuFace Mini+ or stock up on the beloved Cosrx snail mucin essence. (Pro tip: We’ll be rounding up the best Korean skin-care deals in its own story.)
The Inkey List
November 6 to 23: The Inkey List hit the ground running just six days into the month. From November 6 to 23, you can score 25% off sitewide on Allure favorites like Hyaluronic Acid Serum and Polyglutamic Acid Dewy Sunscreen SPF 30, which won a Best of Beauty Award, One to Watch Seal, and our hearts.
Starting November 24, the ante ups with free shipping on all orders (in addition to 25% off sitewide).
Droplette
November 10 to 27: Droplette is a cute hi-tech device that uses microinfusion technology to deliver potent serums into your skin more effectively. Basically, it transforms said serums into micromists that penetrate skin at high velocities. For a good chunk of November, you can score 50% off sitewide.
