It seems like it was just yesterday that Sephora opened up their fall Savings Event to everyone, but sadly, a week has already come and gone. Tomorrow, November 11, the sale will come to a close. If you have yet to shop the sale or already did but want to take advantage of your discount before it officially ends, we tapped board certified dermatologist, Dr. Blair Murphy Rose, to share some recommendations on skincare and hair care products worth grabbing last-minute.
Before we get to the fun stuff, let’s rehash some details of the event for anyone who needs a little refresher. The Sephora Savings Event is a highly anticipated sale that gives Beauty Insiders a chance to score 10%, 15%, or 20% off, depending on their membership tier. If you aren’t a member, it’s totally free to sign up. It’s also a rewards program, so you move up whenever you spend over a certain amount.
As beauty fans ourselves, we love the Sephora Savings Event because pretty much everything is included in the sale (there are only a few exceptions). That’s a huge deal since many of the brands that Sephora carries rarely ever go on sale. Since it’s the holiday shopping season, it’s a great time to stock up on beauty gift sets that already save you a ton of money. Of course, that’s what we, as shopping experts, recommend anyway. But what would a dermatologist recommend?
From a volumizing dry shampoo to a cult-fave cleanser for dry skin, here are four products Dr. Rose recommends grabbing before the Sephora Savings Event ends. As a reminder, the sale end tomorrow, November 11. So be sure to get that last-minute purchase in while you can!
Dae Fairy Duster Volumizing Dry Shampoo Powder
“This talc-free dry shampoo powder gives an instant clean-hair appearance, while impressively being volumizing,” Dr. Rose says. The Dae Fairy Duster Volumizing Dry Shampoo Powder features the ingredients of Mojave yucca to help balance the scalp, prickly pear seed oil to nourish and soften your strands, and cactus flower extract to help strengthen your hair overall.
Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm for Hydration & Shine
Truth be told, this cult-fave needs no introduction as it’s likely hit your feed at some point. But given that it’s recommended by a dermatologist, it’s good to know it’s actually worth the hype! As Dr. Rose tells SheKnows, “Summer Friday’s Lip Butter Balm in vanilla is a glossy balm that smells delicious and is full of nourishing moisturizers like shea butter and murumuru seed butter. This is my go-to daily lip protectant.” It’s also available in eight other “flavors,” including the newly launched Hot Cocoa.
Murad Rapid Relief Acne Spot Treatment
Looking for a good acne treatment? Here’s one that’s dermatologist-approved! “Formulated with salicylic acid, oat and witch hazel, the Murad Rapid Relief Acne Spot treatment effectively reduces acne blemishes and is safe for all skin types,” says Dr. Rose. It’s why this spot treatment made it on her top must-gets at the Sephora Savings Event.
Elemis Pro-Collagen Makeup Melting Cleansing Balm
“For dry skin only, the massively popular Elemis Pro-Collagen Makeup Melting Cleansing Balm removes sunscreen and makeup without drying or stripping skin,” Dr. Rose says. “I always like to caution that makeup removal balms are not well suited for oily or acne-prone skin, even when used as part of a two-step cleanse.” So, if you have dry skin, this is a great one to add to your basket. If you don’t, there’s no shortage of other options available at Sephora that you can check out.
