When Black Friday rolls around, the beauty world isn’t just about flashy lipstick or eye shadow—it’s about finally grabbing those skincare tools and treatments you’ve been eyeing, often at real discounts. Many brands and retailers are prepping deep cuts and bundles, and according to trend-trackers, personal care + beauty is one of the top categories for holiday shoppers this year.
Skincare and beauty deals fall into a few key zones: clinical / performance tools, everyday skincare staples, and luxury or gift-worthy items. Each zone has its own opportunity.
Clinical & Performance Tools
If you’re serious about skin—maybe you coach athletes and want recovery & wellness tools for the whole team, or you invest in yourself—these gadgets matter. Here are some high-performance gear picks.
● Therabody TheraFace PRO: A high-end facial device combining microcurrent, LED light therapy, and cleansing functions. If you’ve been waiting for a serious upgrade, this one’s it.
● NuFACE Mini+ Starter Kit: A smaller-format microcurrent system—less intimidating, still high performance; good value if budget is a concern.
● Medicube AGE‑R Booster Pro: Korean beauty meets advanced tech—multi-function device that hits a lot of performance notes at home.
● ZIIP Halo Facial Toning Device: Another clinic-grade option designed to deliver serious results—worth watching for a deep discount.
● Skin Gym Wrinklit LED Mask: LED mask that targets common aging or skin-tone problems; less intimidating price than some premium tools.
● Skin Gym LitLift EMS LED Tool: Mid-tier tool combining EMS (electrical muscle stimulation) and LED—good for skin lift or tone work.
● BeautyBio GLOFacial Hydro Infusion Tool: Focus on pores, infusion, texture—great if you’ve got team members or athletes concerned about breakout/texture.
● DERMAFLASH DERMAPORE+ Ultrasonic Pore Extractor: A more specialized tool for pore-care and deep clean—a strong value option when marked down.
These devices often see big drops on Black Friday (sometimes 20-40% or more), but you’ll want to check: is it the latest version, is the discount real, and are you actually going to use it (versus just thinking “oh that’s cool”). One shopper on Reddit summed it up:
“Paula’s Choice is 25% off… so I stocked up on BHA exfoliant and tinted moisturizer.” reddit.com
The point: focus on what you’ll use.
Everyday Skincare & Beauty Staples
You don’t have to spend big to win. Many Black Friday deals feature high-quality serums, cleansers, moisturizers, and makeup—from drugstore to luxury. According to recent reporting, discounts for skincare and beauty tools kick in well before the actual Black Friday date. Glamour+1
Retailers like Ulta Beauty and Sephora are already showing up to 50% off major brands in 2024 cycles. Rank & Style+1
And for clinical-skincare brands, 25-30% off is typical during the sale period. The Sun+1
So if you’re ~budgeting:
● Look for solid everyday brands (cleanser, sunscreen, retinol, moisturizer) with real discounts.
● Make sure you’re comfortable with shipping/returns—some deals are “while supplies last”.
● Sign up for loyalty programs or early access lists (many beauty retailers give early deal access to members).
● Use this as an opportunity to restock or upgrade: if you’ve been meaning to step
up your skincare game for yourself or for athletes you oversee, this is a good window.
Luxury & Gift-Worthy Beauty
If you or someone on your team is into premium skincare or special beauty tools, Black Friday is where you can finally snag that “investment” product without paying full retail. Whether it’s a high-end serum, a designer makeup palette, or a luxe hair tool, the markup often comes down during these sales. Rank & Style+1
Remember: even luxury deals can have catches—limited quantities, bundle requirements,
or older model versions. Do your homework: check original price, reviews, and what’s included (full size vs sample, what version of the device it is).
