I love pretending I'm at a spa and giving myself a little facial massage as a self-care moment. (Amazon)
When it comes to my skin care, I don't mess around. As someone who has had severe adolescent acne and adult acne, I've worked hard to find a simple, gentle routine that makes my skin happy — and doesn't cost a whole paycheck. The biggest change I've made? Tossing out my go-to makeup removing wipes and swapping in the virally popular Japanese DHC Deep Cleansing Oil.
Not only does this simple cleanser calm my skin, it effectively removes makeup and makes me feel soft and fresh. I'll never look back — especially since it's nearly 30% off right now.
If you're looking for denim that's designed for all shapes and sizes, these affordable Amandas definitely fit the bill (pun intended). They're classic high-rises that sit at your natural waist and will go with just about anything.
These No. 1 bestsellers start at a wild $20, so grab a few pairs for fall and winter — they'd look fab with some stylish boots.
Yahoo Senior Beauty Editor Jennifer Romolini swears by this frizz-reducing bestseller.
"Every once in a while a popular internet-famous product comes along that I think will never in 100 years work and then am pleasantly surprised (OK, more like shocked) when it does," she admits. "Such was the case with this strange little tube of the TikTok-famous collagen and protein hair mask from Elizavecca.
It's a repairing treatment that's meant to render even the driest, most straw-like hair into silky strands. You work it into your hair after shampooing and, after 5–15 minutes, the before-and-after is seriously profound: my thin, dry, longtime dyed-blonde mane was bouncy, soft and smooth as a satin sheet and, best of all, didn't feel weighed down. Though it does make your hair slightly greasier than normal, the conditioning impact is worth it — my results lasted for weeks."
While not the largest discount, you can't argue with paying just seven bucks for a tube!

Another product Romolini's become a fan of? This popular eye-area tightener.
"I've been loving this extra-firming eye cream from Derma E, a truly quality brand that makes natural, vegan and cruelty-free products that won't cost you a week's pay," she says. "Made of skin-revitalizing ingredients like copper peptides and plant stem cells, it's clinically proven to improve elasticity, firmness and lighten a darker under-eye skin tone. I especially like it for my upper eyelids, where I've seen a noticeable difference in improved texture over just a few weeks."
This isn't the lowest it's ever been, but at over 40% off, it's still a deal worth considering.
This multiuse hair tool works like the Dyson Airwrap — only at a fraction of the cost.

This cleansing oil has zero added fragrances or colors, so it's great for sensitive skin.
Honestly, I would buy this cleansing oil even for $50 or more — it's that good and feels so luxurious. This $20 deal makes it that much sweeter (it normally retails for $28). You also get nearly 7 ounces of product, and it lasts forever. I usually buy only two bottles per year, making the cost per use minuscule.
At first, I was nervous that using an olive oil-based cleanser would cause my skin to erupt, but I was pleasantly surprised. The opposite happened! Not only was every trace of my stubborn waterproof mascara gone, but my skin immediately felt cleaner and softer. Basically, my fickle skin went from dry and angry to happy, glowy and hydrated.
Cleansing oils work by binding to sebum, grime, makeup and other residue on your skin to help lift it all away. After all, oil dissolves oil — and if the beauty world can agree on anything, it's that you should never go to sleep with your makeup on.
The main ingredient in DHC Deep Cleansing Oil is olive oil. Yes, olive oil — but I promise that it doesn't leave your skin greasy. My skin has been less oily since I started using this. It also contains vitamin E, an antioxidant that combats free-radical damage while hydrating the skin.
More good news: This is super easy to use. First, massage it onto your dry face with clean hands. I like to do this for 30 seconds or so, or until all of my makeup is dissolved. Once that's done, add a little bit of water to your hands and massage your face again. This transforms the oil into a milky emulsion cleanser as you wash it off. Always follow up with a water-based cleanser as you would with any makeup remover (my go-to is CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser).
Over 18,000 Amazon customers have given this cleansing oil a five-star review. This shopper even called it "magic in a bottle" — and I couldn't agree more.
"I was really hesitant, but thought 'what the hell, it's just $16,'" shared this reviewer. "I've had this for no more than two weeks and the pesky blackheads on my nose are all but gone. This is also the single best makeup remover I've ever used."
"I am a 61-year-old Black woman with normal skin," explained a second fan. "I have used DHC oil cleanser for almost 30 years. I used it when I was younger and had oily skin. Now that I'm aging, it's still perfection ... I have no lines or wrinkles. People think I'm in my 30s."
"Love this product. I neglected my skin for about a year and am a senior citizen," wrote another happy Amazon customer. "Started using this, my skin is no longer looks dull. It looks years younger now."
"I started using this after it was recommended by a dermatologist," said another shopper. "For the first time in my life, I was suffering from a mild eczema. I couldn't believe you could clean your skin with oil, but it works. It leaves your skin clean and supple without the dryness and flaking."
While Amazon shoppers are generally big fans, some shared a few notes. For example, this shopper who called it the "best makeup remover" suggests you keep an eye on, well, your eyes: "Only downside is using it around the eyes," they explained. "Sometimes I get it in my eye and it makes my vision blurry, but it's not painful and easily rinses out."
Meanwhile, another five-star reviewer takes issue with how you use the product: "The one minor downside is that my face and hands need to be dry in order for the oil to work properly. So if I'm taking a shower, I wouldn't be able to use this oil cleanser the right way."
