The sale to shop this weekend is Dermstore’s Anniversary Sale, where you can find deals on Strategist-approved dry shampoo, affordable vitamin C serum, and even the highly coveted NuFace. I also found savings on all the back-to-school essentials, from insulated lunch containers to our favorite kids’ underwear (if they’ve outgrown theirs over summer break). And if your wardrobe could use an end-of-summer refresh, scroll on to find basics from Amazon’s apparel line, Hanna Andersson pajamas, and a sweater for your pup. As always, make sure to sign up for our email newsletter for even more sales coverage (and five extra deals selected by yours truly every Friday).
