The spring sales continue, and this week it’s the Dermstore Beauty Refresh that’s got our attention. Through March 13, hundreds of beauty products are 20 percent off with the code REFRESH. (I also spy a ton of on-sale beauty with free gifts included with purchase.) While I’m always giddy over a new sale, spring is a notoriously popular time for them, so I’ve become pretty picky about what I’m buying from where. Below, you’ll find 20 on-sale items in skin care, makeup, hair, fragrance and sun protection that I wouldn’t pass up.
Skin-Care Deals
So many luxury skin-care products are 20 percent off, it was nearly impossible to narrow my list down to four. Force me to choose, and I’ll create a whole new skin-care routine: the cult-favorite Elemis Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm, Dermalogica‘s Phyto Nature Lifting Eye Cream (experts say it’s a game changer for wrinkle and sagging upper eyelids), dermatologist darling TNS Advanced+ Serum by SkinMedica and The Rich Cream from celebrity-adored and rarely-on-sale brand, Augustinus Bader.
Hair Deals
Did you see Nicole Kidman’s Studio-54-inspired pony at the Golden Globes? Her shiny and luscious red carpet hair started with Virtue‘s Scalp Recover Shampoo. Other hair-care favorites I spied on sale: thirsty strands savior Rahua Hydration Conditioner and UNITE‘s 7Second BlowOut Crème—a must for a polished mane. If heat styling isn’t always realistic, we love a good air-dry cream, and R+Co‘s Cool Wind softens and tames frizz with mango butter and apricot and watermelon extracts.
Makeup Deals
As winter transitions to spring, I want dewy skin, flushed cheeks and an easy lip. Done, done, done. bareMinerals Complexion Rescue (the 2023 NewBeauty Award-winner for Best Tinted Moisturizer) is all skin needs for a natural, radiant glow (with SPF 30 protection). Add a pop of color to cheeks whenever needed with Wander Beauty‘s Blush and Illuminator Stick, or if you’re more into powder blushes, RMS Beauty‘s velvety formula won’t let you down. Finally, I’m embracing the comeback of lip liner, and tarte’s juicy version glides on like a dream.
Fragrance Deals
Surprising to some, Dermstore has a great selection of fragrances (and candles!). kai‘s Eau de Parfum screams spring; a non-floral option we love is the Juliette Has a Gun Not a Perfume. If sandalwood scents are your go-to, the Maison Louis Marie No.04 Bois de Balincourt is warm and romantic. If you’re looking for a sunnier scent, Oribe‘s Côte d’Azur smells like a sun-drenched vacation.
SPF Deals
We’re all wearing SPF year-round, right? Still, spring sales are a great time to stock up on sun protection. Grab editor-, shopper- and dermatologist-favorite EltaMD UV Clear, or if you prefer a tinted formula, another derm-backed brand to look to is Revision Skincare. The Intellishade Matte SPF 45 is sheerly tinted, loaded with anti-aging ingredients and controls shine through any weather. Another pick with extra anti-aging properties is The Mineral Melt from Dune. It’s infused with peptides and protects against HEV light and pollution. Want to grab an SPF the whole family can use for face and body? The Supergoop! PLAY Everyday Lotion SPF 50 is also on sale in its jumbo 18 oz size.
