As summer winds down and we start making our transition into fall, and therefore, back into our routines, we’d encourage you to take a good hard look at one habit in particular: your skincare routine. Whether the air conditioning has dehydrated it, or you forgot to reapply your SPF and completely scorched it, your skin has probably been through the wringer this summer, and it might be time to bring in the reinforcements — i.e. those heavy-duty moisturizers, toners, retinol and the like. But if you find your skincare arsenal is running low, or you don’t have much of one to begin with, now’s the perfect time to stock up because Dermstore’s Anniversary Sale is in full swing.
A surplus of 5-star, dermatologist-approved skincare items are all up to 25% off with code CHEERS. You can shop the entire sale here, or see below for our favorite discounted skincare, many of which have come expert-recommended. Whether you’re shopping for yourself or looking to restock her skincare drawer (an extremely nice gesture), you don’t want to miss this massive beauty event, which ends on 8/18.
