I Just Saved $260 on My Favorite Spendy Beauty Staples for Fall—Here's How

By this point, I'm sure you're well aware that nearly everyone in the beauty industry goes feral for NuFace products. These microcurrent-driven devices tone, tighten, and lift the skin for a more sculpted face, sans invasive procedures. 

Not only are these daily exfoliating pads the ticket to glowier, smoother, and more even skin, but they're also super easy to use (and even easier to travel with!). They rarely go on sale, so snag these at a discounted price while you can. 

Before we head into fall, it's important to stock up on a rich, ultra-nourishing moisturizer in preparation for cooler temperatures. This Weleda cream is beloved by makeup artists and derms for its skin-quenching properties, and it's temporarily under $15—it quite literally doesn't get much better than that. 

Keeping micellar water in your medicine cabinet is kind of like keeping rice in your pantry—you should always have some on hand, just in case. Micellar water has a myriad of different uses, from removing makeup easily to soothing irritated and stressed-out skin.

This is the perfect time to stock up on French-girl favorite Embryolisse. While you can't go wrong with anything from the brand, this lightweight, intensely moisturizing cream is a good place to start. It sinks in instantly, dries down to a satin finish, and leaves skin plump and moisturized. 

This hair oil is practically liquid gold. Formulated with a bevy of natural oils (like olive and meadowfoam), it smooths, softens, and gives hair mirror-like shine. 

You know those mornings when you wake up puffy, no matter how much water you drink? This mask is formulated specifically for days like that—skin-tightening ingredient Firm-A-Tite works instantly to zip up your skin. 

Without a doubt, Elemis's cleansing balm is one of the best cleansing balms on the market. It's made with a blend of elderberry, starflower, and Optimega oils for supreme hydration and cleansing. 

If you've been looking for an excuse to invest in a high-quality retinal, getting $20 off this Medik8 one is a pretty good reason. Instead of traditional retinol, this serum is formulated with retinal, another form of vitamin A that works quickly to diminish fine lines and wrinkles and even skin tone. 

If you were to ask the beauty-editor cohort to list their favorite serums of all time, there's no question that this one would be in the top five. It brightens, evens skin tone, and hydrates. 

Meet my standing Monday morning coffee date. These eye gels help soothe, de-puff, and firm under-eyes, even if you're running on less than six hours of sleep and indulged in a glass or two of wine over the weekend.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Hyaluronic acid would be my desert-island skincare product. IMO, you can never have too much H.A.—it's a miracle worker for parched skin. 

It's a sad fact of life that not all dry shampoos are created equal. Many formulas can cause hair to feel gummy, stiff, and lackluster. This one actually cleans hair and leaves you feeling refreshed.

Keratosis pillaris might be totally harmless, but it's still an annoying skin condition. This body scrub helps dissolve that pesky keratin buildup that is notoriously difficult to get rid of.

If you have a sensitive scalp, you know that many hair products can cause irritation. This innovative gel conditioner restores scalp health and has a soothing effect. 

Another French beauty staple, this La Roche-Posay cream is basically a moisturizer that works for everyone, even people who have extremely sensitive skin. With shea butter, neurosensine, and thermal water, it's basically a glass of water for stressed skin.

This vitamin C serum contains a whopping 35% concentration of vitamin C, which is a bit higher than most formulas. Don't worry—it remains tolerable while being super powerful against hyperpigmentation and dull skin. 

If there's one thing I love, it's a glow-boosting sunscreen. While the weather continues to be warm for the next couple months, it's my absolute favorite way to make my skin look better without piling on heavy foundations or concealers. This one also has SPF 50 for tons of protection.

It's not easy to realize how much product buildup you have on your hair and scalp. Incorporating a clarifying shampoo in every once in a while is a good way to maintain hair and scalp health. Plus, this one will make your hair feel as light as a feather. 

Smooth this blow-dry cream onto your hair for a frizz-free blowout every single time. It protects up to 450° and makes hair impossibly soft.
