Black Friday sales get all the hype, but I'm here to set the record straight and say Labor Day sales deserve more credit. Not only are the discounts just as good, but the online shopping experience is also better. It's more low-key, which makes it less stressful. Think about it. Since Labor Day sales get less attention, there's less of a chance that my favorite products will sell out before I can add them to my cart. I don't know about you, but that immediately lowers my cortisol levels.
This Labor Day weekend, I'm getting in on the sale-shopping fun and setting aside some time to go online and exercise my credit card. After all, as far as I'm concerned, there's no better time to revamp my routine than right before fall. I'm on the hunt for moisturizing skincare products, high-tech skin devices, balancing scalp products, and more. Ahead, see all 25 Labor Day beauty sales worth shopping this year, according to yours truly. Oh, and I alphabetized them for your convenience. (You can thank me later.)
