Skincare has graduated to the driver’s seat of the beauty world over the last few years. Gone are the days of the harsh apricot scrubs, OxyPads and ProActiv’s multi-step routine for acne. From skin prep before applying your makeup to having a consistent, go-to nighttime routine to reveal radiant skin in the morning, skincare has evolved far beyond a viral TikTok trend. That said, people are interested in achieving the clear, shiny “glass” skin that originated on TikTok and is now synonymous with celebrities like Hailey Bieber and Kylie Jenner.
Amazon’s Summer Beauty Event is going on now with up to 30% off skincare products you already love and the products you’ve been dying to try. Let’s breakdown a few top categories to shop at today’s sale:
An exfoliator from the dermatologist of stars like Kim Kardashian, Beyonce and Ryan Seacrest—this product has been endorsed by the Kardashian queen herself.
AMAZON EXCLUSIVE: Sol De Janeiro is a viral, cult-favorite and while their products aren’t on sale individually, you can save a whopping $45 on this bundle!
From our faithful leader, Kasey Caminiti: She says these pimple patches make breakouts fun again (and of course you’ve seen everyone wearing them everywhere).
From our trusted shopping editor, Kyley Warren: She says this is one of her summer beauty essentials and honestly, I was looking for a great shea butter lotion—add to cart!
In true Kyley fashion (lovingly, she’s a bit of an overachiever), she sent two product recommendations with more shea butter, this time in the form of a lip balm.
From yours truly: Two years in Korea made me fall in love with this viral K-beauty favorite and I’m still obsessed! It has over 67,000 five-star reviews on Amazon—plus you’re getting the additional peptide skin booster.
Important note: There are two male members of the USA TODAY Shopping team, Dylan Reffe and David Hoffman. One proudly admitted to being a 4-in-1 product user (and promptly received the appropriate level of ridicule), while the other hid in the shadows. We will update when we’ve convinced them to upgrade their routines. Sorry guys!
UPDATE: After the FOMO (fear of missing out) set in, David updated us with his favorite, daily-use product for men.
Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser
With last-minute, FOMO-induced selection, David says this skin cleanser is the only thing that helps with acne, making him a big fan.
