Twice a year, my skincare routine and my credit card go head-to-head, and, no surprise here, it's always during the Sephora Savings Event. I tell myself I'm just restocking the essentials (cleanser, moisturizer, SPF). Still, five minutes later, I'm somehow rationalizing a $70 serum just because I heard a fellow beauty editor rave about it and it's 20 percent off. It's a dangerous cycle, I know. But at least my skin looks great.
Skincare is the foundation for everything; makeup sits better, and my skin acts out less when I'm consistent with my routine. So, I treat the event like an annual reset, restocking what I know I'll finish and using the discount as an excuse to invest in the formulas that I, as a beauty editor, can get behind.
