The Best Beauty Sales of the Week
As the Strategist’s deals editor, I sift through hundreds of discounts every day. Some of my favorite finds are in the beauty bins: The price drops are impressive, and there’s almost always something from our archives in the mix. And each week, I find the best-of-the-best beauty products on sale across the internet, exclusively for Beauty Brief newsletter subscribers, and present them to you here.

Embryolisse’s thick moisturizer is beloved by makeup artists because it hydrates and offers deep moisture without irritating skin and clogging pores. While the original is generally well tolerated, there’s also a sensitive version, which is hypoallergenic and fragrance free.

For a nice glow even in the dead of winter, consider our best overall self-tanner. Former Strategist beauty writer Rachael Griffiths has been using it since her teens because of its non-smelly, non-drying, and long-lasting formula.

If you have dry skin (and who doesn’t this time of year?), a mousse formula is generally more hydrating than a foam. This option from St. Tropez also made our Best in Class list and contains several skin-care ingredients like niacinamide, vitamin E, echinacea, and hyaluronic acid. And while it’s available in only one shade, it’s rich and deep, so it works on a range of skin tones.
Hair care

Oribe’s Hair Alchemy line uses ingredients like chia seed and honeysuckle extract to help strengthen and reinforce fragile hair. Hairstylist Bianca Rodriguez told The Cut that she always reaches for the shampoo, which “reinforces and strengthens hair from the inside out, without being overly heavy.”

I purchased a bottle of Redken’s All Soft conditioner after hearing about it on our site and was pleased with how soft and smooth my hair was after just a few uses. Since it’s pretty pricey, it’s best to get it on sale — and right now the jumbo-size bottle is nearly 40 percent off.
