Redken’s Acidic Bonding Concentrate line is 20 percent off. “Acid” might sound scary when it comes to hair, but it’s helpful for regulating pH so that the hair cuticle is optimized to become shinier and softer. After just one wash with the shampoo, “my hair looked less weighed down — lighter, bouncier, fluffier, and smoother,” says The Cut’s former beauty director Kathleen Hou.
Textured-hair-care brand Adwoa Beauty recently entered liquidation, so it’s your last chance to nab a few of its products (at a sizable discount) before they’re gone for good.

While “putting on a glob of sunscreen before my meticulously layered concealer, foundation, blush, and powder” has never been appealing to writer Brenley Goertzen, the idea of finishing her makeup with some SPF setting spray felt just right. She set out to find one and landed on this hydrating option from Naked Sundays. “I can see myself incorporating it into my routine for the rest of the summer and using it as my primary form of sun protection,” she writes. It’s even earned a spot in our Beauty Hall of Fame.
