Thinking ahead to Christmas in September might be a big no-no for you, but if you want one of the best beauty advent calendars, you need to plan. While big-name beauty retailers – think Sephora, Liberty, SpaceNK and Selfridges – offer a great way to sample a range of high-end products, if you’re looking for something with a mature skin focus, take a look at Avant Skincare's 2026 advent calendar.
This year’s calendar takes the form of a limited-edition odyssey theme. The last four years have seen consecutive sell-outs, with this year’s taking inspiration from the beauty and restorative power of the ocean. It contains 25 days’ worth of skincare and beauty treats, including 15 full-size products.
