I just curated a full (and high quality) skin care routine for $82.33 in the Black Friday sales

I'll be glowing by December, and my bank account can't even blame me

Editor / November 17 2025

Skin care is undoubtedly my favourite thing to shop for. Until my bag total dares to show up on my screen, that is. That part's just insulting. I wish I could say I always pressed checkout anyway, but in my line of work, you learn to be very discerning with beauty products, and so sale periods are often the only time I allow my wishlist to make it out of the cart.

Here's how I'm curating a brand new skin care routine just in time for event season all for less than $83, all thanks to the Black Friday sales. I've picked up a brand new cleanser, toner, serum and moisturiser and I've done it all for far less than $100.

Feel free to grab my exact skin care routine (I'm rather excited about its moisture and brightness-boosting benefits), or if you're keen to follow suit, scroll down to discover all the Black Friday skin care sales on offer right now to mix and match your personal fave products...

Skin Care Black Friday Sales

An effortless, comfortable cleanse that feels more like a sensory ritual is my favourite kind, and that's precisely what this Esmi Cleansing Butter Balm serves up. It's made to be massaged into dry skin (before water is added to emulsify), and after eyeing up the buttery (and butter-hued) formula, I decided Black Friday was the time to seal the deal.

Grab it for: $23.40 (usually $39) at Esmi

There's been talk of this toner being a decent dupe for the glorious Rhode Glazing Milk, so until Hailey Bieber's brand lands here in Australia, I'll be using this instead. The price point (especially on sale) is truly incredible, and I'm feeling very positive about the hydrating, gloss-imparting benefits.

Grab it for: $17.97 (usually $29.95) at TBH Skincare

I'm determined to greet 2026 with a glowier face and I've selected this brightening serum to help me on my way. It teams hydrating benefits with talents for visible brightening and evening out the skin tone, so I'm hopeful it'll be exactly what I need to skip foundation all summer.

Grab it for: $20.96 (usually $29.95) at Boost Lab

I've had my eye on this ceramide-packed (but not pore-clogging) gel-cream for a few months now, but at $20, it's officially making it out of my wishlist and into my skin care routine. It's devoted to hydrating, plumping and protecting the skin, and melts right in upon application to make sure your sunscreen and makeup glide over it without pilling.

Grab it for: $20 (usually $40) at Naked Sundays
