I Spent 3 Hours Sorting Through This Epic Skincare Sale—Here's What I'd Grab

If you're like me, you've been lulled into a false sense of sale-shopping security. After all, we're in between Labor Day and Black Friday (two of the biggest sale events of the year), and there are seemingly no discounts on the horizon. So we should kick back and expect to pay full price for all of our favorite skincare products, right? Not so fast.
From October 3 through October 11, SkinStore is holding a pretty epic Friends Family Sale. Score up to 25% off skincare products and devices when you use the code FRIENDS at checkout. Personally, I'm using this as an opportunity to get a head start on holiday shopping. Ahead, check out the skincare products (and a few makeup products) I'm adding to my cart before the sale ends.
Lately, I've been unimpressed with my dull, thinning hair. To hopefully liven and thicken it up, I'm going to add this scalp serum to my cart. It uses biomimetic peptides, organic pea sprouts, red clover, green tea, and caffeine to invigorate the scalp and boost blood flow. Over time, this results in thicker hair by up to 13%!
Fall and winter bring dry, flaky skin. I'm going to get out ahead of it with this soothing and moisturizing balm. It uses milk thistle oil, niacinamide, and Avène thermal spring water to strengthen the skin barrier and boost the production of essential lipids and ceramides. In other words, it's like a Uno reverse card for dry, irritated skin.
