The Best After-Christmas Sales to Shop Right Now

[View on the web] [Facebook] [Twitter] [Instagram] What to buy — and how much you’ll save — at our favorite retailers today The day after Christmas is one of the big retail holidays, coming in behind heavy hitters like Black Friday and Cyber Monday. But that doesn’t mean the deals aren’t good — stores know that you probably got some cash or gift cards from your parents over the holidays, or at the very least, a check from grandma. Below is our list of the places worth shopping today, with suggestions on what to buy at each. But keep checking back — [we’ll update the site throughout the day].

Both the [Silas Dress] and [Irving Dress] are on sale for $174, and the [Chemise], available in four different colors, is $149.

For the most part, in my capacity as senior editor at this website, I try to remain both 1) [a fashion outsider] (couldn’t really change that if I tried) and 2) annoyingly untrusting, at least when it comes to dealing with brands. Brands are (still) [not our friends]. When you’re editing [retail business stories] or [critiques of the culture], you don’t want publicists in your ear, sending you free stuff, no matter how much you love stuff. I ignore a lot of emails (sorry), I don’t get a lot of packages, and I have definitely told more than one writer to “follow the money!” in complete earnest. And it doesn’t end there, with the basic journalistic integrity I’m supposed to have for work. I’m actively concerned, especially now, about our societal and my individual overconsumption, enjoy giving long lectures about “societal implications,” and I really enjoy rolling my eyes and feeling superior when things are hideously expensive (I see you Vetements, and I don’t think your whole thing is fun at all). I can be a bit of a prig, tbth. But also this year I bought a dead cow carcass jacket that costs a normal/responsible person’s rent, because I read about it in a story I was editing. So. [Here’s a year in review of great pieces of writing and the possibly suspect purchases they inspired, all of which I love. >>] Just One Thing The $1 Korean Skincare Pouches That Will Save Your Skin This Winter [Insert alt text here] [Aritaum Moisture Pouch Pack, $1] It took me at least 25 years to realize I have dry skin, and that you can simultaneously have dry skin and zits, and also that moisturizing won’t break you out more — in fact, it might just help break you out less. These revelations were life-changing to me, someone whose vanity revolves around her skin, skin that has never been perfect. When Korean beauty picked up steam in the States, I got right on board, layering product upon product in the hopes of glowing like a goddamn blemish-free moonbeam. But it wasn’t until I traveled to Seoul myself (to report on the [Olympics of hairdressing] for this very website) that my admittedly over-complicated, hyper-specific routine was truly refined. And it’s all thanks to a small pouch of... well, I’m not totally sure what’s in it beyond hyaluronic acid because I can’t read Korean, but you just have to trust me here. The pouches are from [Aritaum], a chain of stores that is [popping up all over the US] now; they come in a bunch of varieties, but the blue Moisture formulation is what I’m talking about. I use it every night, on top of essence and two other moisturizers (I know!) and under my prescription retinoid and some Aquaphor (I know!!). I’m convinced it’s the one product in my arsenal that keeps winter flakiness at bay, based on the scientific study I perform every time I stupidly decide not to use it, only to have severe regret the next morning. It’s that hyaluronic acid, baby. Also, it’s cheap. SO CHEAP. [One-dollar-a-pouch cheap]. And each lasts weeks! (The screw-off top is crucial.) I like to buy them in bulk, stash them in my fridge, and give them out to anyone who asks me for skin recs. I’ve bought the pouches off eBay, but now you can purchase them right from the Aritaum site. Even with international shipping, ten pouches (months and months of wonderful goo, just for you) runs less than $25. —[Julia Rubin], executive editor [More good stuff to read today] - [The B][est Menswear Sale of the Season Is Here] - [What to Buy at the Places You Now Have Gift Cards For] - [T][hese Are the Very Best No-Bra Bras] - [I Went to Christkindlesmarkts in Europe and Now I Can't Imagine the Holidys Without Them] - [WATCH: The Rockettes Have Been Wearing the Same Wooden Soldier Costume Since 1933] Ad from our sponsor From around the web A selection from the editors at Racked [A pendant necklace.] [Replace Your Chokers With These Pendant Necklaces] It’s time to move on.
