The last summer holiday is approaching, and the sales have already started. Right now, lots of beauty is on sale, including sitewide discounts (30 percent off over at NuFace and Kiehl’s) and bigger retail events at Amazon and Ulta. Right now’s the time to replenish your SPF post-summer or finally splurge on that hair tool you’ve been eyeing. Below are the best deals across all beauty — skin care, body care, makeup, and more — that are worth shopping. I’ve categorized each retailer alphabetically and picked a couple standout products from each to make things a little easier.

Amazon’s Labor Day Event is full of excellent deals, including lots of beauty. Save on basics like moisturizer and SPF or go for more splurgy items like hair tools and red-light devices while they’re nicely discounted. (And for even more Amazon deals, check out our roundup here.)
The entire line of Dr. Idriss skin care is 20 percent off now through September 8. That includes the brand’s Major Fade Solution System for tackling stubborn dark spots, her Left Un-Red for calming redness, and the Lip Basting Duo, a personal favorite for pillowy-soft lips.
Farmacy’s taking 25 percent off its entire site, including already on-sale items, also through September 8. Some standouts include its blackhead-dissolving Deep Sweep Toner, our overall favorite makeup-removing balm the Green Clean, and the ultrahydrating Honey Milk Essence.
You can save 20 percent off wellness products over at HigherDOSE or 25 percent off its bundle sets with code LDW26. Its products are splurgy, but we can vouch for the acne-fighting red-light mask and mood-boosting sauna blanket. I’m personally intrigued by the body microcurrent set for sore muscles.
Australian brand Grown Alchemist — known for its statusy hand soaps and nice-smelling body washes — is taking 20 percent off sitewide (excluding kits and sets).
The entire Kiehl’s site is 25 percent off at checkout through September 8; if you’re a Loyalty Member, that discount increases to 30 percent off. Stock up on the celebrity-approved Creme de Corps body lotion, the plumping recovery serum, or Goldilocks moisturizer.
Greek beauty brand Korres is taking 30 percent off its body care and fragrances. Its cleanser and gel cream feature hydrating Greek yogurt as a key ingredient. I have my eye on the musky vanilla Aegean Bronze as a not-too-sweet scent.
Kosas is taking 25 percent off its entire site. The brand’s concealer is a longtime Strategist favorite, its loose powder is our recommended setting powder for dry skin, and I can attest that its lip balm is great. Plus, if you spend $100 or more, they’ll throw in a full-size brow product and either the gel cleanser or cleansing oil.
NuFace, maker of our best-in-class microcurrent device, is taking 30 percent off its entire site, with free shipping on all orders. I use my Trinity religiously, but the Mini or Microwand are both excellent starting points for folks new to microcurrent.
The entire Paula’s Choice site is 20 percent off, or, if you spend $100 or more, you get 30 percent off with code SAVE30. Go with its gentle yet effective azelaic acid, pore-clearing BHA exfoliant, or beginner-friendly retinol cream.
It’s an excellent time to stock up on pimple patches, since Peace Out’s taking 25 percent off its entire site until September 7. Other callouts include the pore-refining strips and hydrating under-eye patches.
Fragrance brand Phlur is taking up to 25 percent off select items, including body mists, natural deodorants, and perfumes. I’m stocking up on the musky vanilla scent Soft Spot while it’s discounted.
With code LD20, you can save 20 percent off sitewide over at Prequel. Multiple beauty writers praise the ultrahydrating Gleanser, and other standouts include its at-home exfoliating peel solution and my all-time favorite SPF lip balm.
Right now, R+CO is taking 20 percent off orders of $75 or more. The brand’s beloved by many Strategist staffers: Its leave-in conditioner is a favorite for managing frizz, the Dallas Biotin line helps thicken fine hair, and the Television Perfect line protects color-treated hair.
Pamela Anderson’s Sonsie is one of the few celebrity beauty brands that’s actually good, and it’s taking 15 percent off sitewide. I’ve tested the line and my top picks are the Cleansing Mousse, Super Serum, and Multi Moisture Cream for nongreasy hydration.
From September 1 to 8, Supergoop’s entire site is 20 percent off. For folks wanting to restock their SPF, the Unseen Sunscreen doubles nicely as a makeup primer, the Play Everyday sunscreen is nongreasy and lightweight, and its mineral powder’s excellent at protecting the scalp.
True Botanicals’ Summer Send-Off sale is happening now through September 7. You can take up to 25 percent off its celebrity-backed glowy face oil, its makeup-melting cleansing balm, and a sensitive-skin-friendly retinol.
If you haven’t heard, Ulta’s 21+ Days of Beauty Event is here, and the sales are very good. Some of the ones I have my eyes on: Sacheu’s lip stain, half off Polite Society’s foundation, and half off our favorite face tanner. If you want more deals from the event, my colleague Tembe Denton-Hurst rounded up her favorites in this post.
Popular SPF brand Vacation is taking up to 30 percent off everything. You can’t go wrong with its Classic Lotion, or try out its more experimental offerings, like its whipped sunscreen or Orange Gelée.
