Black Friday has arrived, and just like in 2020 (and 2019), we’re here to help you sniff out the best deals across the internet. At the Strategist UK, we’re obsessive with our deal hunting — we cross-check prices across retailers and compare discounts year-on-year — so we always know when for example, that “best-ever-price” Vitamix is actually cheaper at John Lewis.

We’re covering Black Friday sales across the site, including stories on the best Amazon deals, the best bedding and mattress deals, and all the deals that will make great gifts. (For an overview of all our coverage, you can visit our Black Friday hub page.) But for great deals on beauty, skin care, and hair products, this page is the place to be. So far, we’ve spotted discounts on Strategist-favourite brands, such as Olaplex and Charlotte Tilbury, as well as finding expert-recommended electric toothbrushes at less than half price.

We’ve listed the sales alphabetically by retailer for ease. We’ll be stock-checking this post throughout the day, but if you see something you like, don’t dillydally — and follow us on Instagram and Twitter for updates throughout the day.

As always, Amazon has thousands of Black Friday deals and many of them are beauty and skin-care focused, such as this moisturiser (a reader favourite) at the best price we’ve ever seen. For more Amazon savings, visit our guide to all the best Black Friday Amazon deals.
