Black Friday shoppers are turning away from traditional spa trips in favour of high-tech beauty gadgets, with LED face masks seeing a surge in popularity. One of the standout deals is an 80% discount on a leading LED face mask, making it more accessible than ever for those looking to upgrade their skincare routine at home.
The Filter, a consumer advice platform, has analysed hundreds of beauty deals to identify genuine savings. Their experts warn that many retailers artificially inflate prices before Black Friday to offer misleading discounts. To counter this, they recommend using tools like the Camelizer browser extension to check price histories on Amazon.
Among the top beauty deals this year are 30% off site-wide at Lookfantastic and Cult Beauty, as well as 30% off at Aromatherapy Associates using code BF30. Charlotte Tilbury's Mini Viral Beauty Icons makeup gift set is reduced to £33.75, down from £45, offering a selection of best-selling mini products.
For those seeking relaxation at home, a John Lewis beauty box containing 11 products worth £200 is available for £48. The box includes a Rituals Sakura candle, full-size Aromatherapy Associates De-Stress Bath & Shower Oil, and Rodial Dragon's Blood Jelly Eye patches.
However, experts urge caution. The Filter's deputy editor Monica Horridge once bought 20 lipsticks in 'weird shades of pink' during a Black Friday sale. They advise only purchasing items you have been eyeing for a while and remembering that Boxing Day sales are just around the corner.
