Dermstore's Anniversary Sale Is On—What I'm Buying to Restock My "High-Maintenance to Be Low-Maintenance" Routine

I'm on such a high every six weeks when I go in to get my color done, but everyone knows that colored hair, especially red hair, fades and dulls infuriatingly fast. DPHue's famed Glossy Glaze comes in a range of shades and helps me maintain salon-caliber richness and shine for as long as I need in between my color appointments. (It's a fab pick-me-up for natural, non-colored hair as well!)

Most days, I prefer to go makeup-free, which means no mascara. This lash serum seriously works and is my favorite cheat code for long, Bambi-like lashes. What's more, I've found it to be far less irritating to my skin and eyes than other formulas I've tried.

I won't get into too much detail with this one, but I love and depend on Fur's Stubble Cream and Ingrown Concentrate to keep everything smooth, baby soft, and ingrown-free between my waxing appointments. It's truly one of my best-kept beauty maintenance secrets, and no everything shower routine is complete without it, IMO.

The simplest thing you can do to keep your skin looking its absolute best is to protect it from the sun's damaging rays. I've talked to so many facialists and derms who say the number one thing you can do to slow down signs of aging (aside from lasers, injectables, and other spendy in-office treatments) is to wear your sunscreen every damn day. EltaMD's iconic formula is one of the few facial sunscreens to never give me the ick.

I love a good spray tan, but to stay within my budget, I save them for special occasions. I've been self-tanning since middle school, so it's safe to say I've tested almost everything on the at-home bronzing market. St. Tropez's Express Bronzing Mousse has remained a standout since my college days roughly 10 years ago. Just make sure you get yourself a mitt for stain-free hands and easy-breezy application.

With new bond-building products launching left and right, I strayed from my Olaplex obsession for a good year or so, and oooohhhh, I regret it. No matter what damage-repairing products I tested, nothing was able to stop breakage in its track like this OG leave-in treatment. I'm known for my Olaplex slicked-back buns, and now that I've reinstated them once a week, my hair has returned to its resilient, super-shiny state.

I used Agent Nateur's pearl powder–infused marine collagen for nearly two months straight, and my hair and nails truly didn't know what hit them. I swear this stuff just makes me look healthier, and it's been so much easier to slowly wean myself off of costly beauty habits like nail and hair extensions.

Thanks to genetics, my dark circle–prone eyes are just getting worse and more shadowy as I get older. (Yay me.) Getting a light dose of filler to my under-eyes is really the only thing that's made a significant difference, but if I had to name one eye product that has helped tighten, brighten, and lift my eye area on a daily, at-home basis, it's the expert-adored Opti Crystal Liquid Crystal Eye Serum from Cosmedix. I apply a pea-sized amount at bedtime to my eye area and wake up feeling far less vampiric.

Once you've discovered dermaplaning, you'll never go back. I like to get professionally dermaplaned as an add-on during my bimonthly facials, but in between those appointments, I rely on this OG tool to banish my peach fuzz. Just wait until you apply your makeup and skincare on a completely smooth complexion—game-changing!

if you're consistent, this mini-but-mighty microcurrent device will noticeably lift, tighten, and contour your face. I wax poetic about it every chance I get, so obviously, I'm going to recommend grabbing it while you can snag 25% off.

I've been using my at-home LED mask for a couple of years now, but I wish I'd jumped on the bandwagon so much sooner. The way it's brightened my skin and reduced breakouts is borderline unbelievable. This FDA-cleared model has 162 blue and red LED lights to target a number of concerns—from acne-causing bacteria to improved collagen production.

I spend over $100 each month to go to my nearest sauna studio (I'm completely obsessed with the post-session glow, increased circulation, and state of relaxation), so I've been waiting for the right moment to splurge on HigherDose's top-rated Infrared Sauna Blanket. Twenty percent off feels like the perfect opportunity, and in the long run, it's a more cost-effective solution compared to my current sauna membership.
