How we chose these Beauty deals

We selected these deals based on:

• Genuine prior-year price history (not inflated "was" prices)
• Brand reliability and product quality
• Retailer reputation for honouring deals and managing returns
• Whether the discount represents an actual annual low, not a return to baseline pricing

We update this page when 2026 deals are confirmed. Read our full editorial policy.

Beauty is one of Boxing Day’s strongest categories — and the deals are particularly sharp because the clearance mechanism is straightforward. Gift sets bought for Christmas gifting that didn’t sell get cleared at significant discounts from 26 December. Boots, Selfridges, and John Lewis all run substantial beauty Boxing Day events. For gift sets and fragrance, Boxing Day is the better event; Black Friday is stronger for standalone skincare and beauty subscriptions. If you buy fragrance, skincare, or beauty electricals for yourself, Boxing Day is one of the best times to stock up.

What discounts to expect on beauty at Boxing Day 2026

Gift sets: 30–60% off. This is the core Boxing Day beauty deal. Christmas gift sets across fragrance, skincare, and makeup that were at full price until 25 December are cleared from 26 December. Boots, Selfridges, and M&S all lead here. Fragrance: 25–40% off. Retailers clear their fragrance gift set stock heavily at Boxing Day. Individual fragrances are less frequently discounted, but gift-set format (EDP + body lotion, EDP + miniature) sees significant cuts. Skincare: 25–45% off. Premium skincare gift sets (Charlotte Tilbury, Clinique, Kiehl’s) appear at Selfridges and John Lewis with real discounts. Boots clears The Ordinary, CeraVe, and Neutrogena ranges. Beauty electricals: Hair straighteners, dryers, and stylers at 25–40% off. Boots is the strongest for GHD, Remington, and BaByliss. John Lewis carries Dyson Beauty products. Makeup: 30–50% off. Palettes and gift sets rather than individual products are the Boxing Day focus. Urban Decay, Charlotte Tilbury, and MAC gift sets appear at both Boots and Selfridges.

Best beauty categories to look for on Boxing Day

Boots Star Gifts clearance: Every year, Boots runs a Star Gifts promotion in December — curated gift sets at set price points (£10, £15, £20, £25). Post-Christmas, these clear at 50% off or more. These are legitimate branded gift sets at clearance pricing. Formats include Liz Earle, No7, Elemis, and brand-specific sets. This is the best single beauty deal in the UK Boxing Day calendar. Fragrance gift sets at Selfridges: Christmas fragrance sets from Jo Malone, YSL, Dior, and Chanel that were £80–£150 at full price appear with 30–40% discounts. These are the same sets — just post-Christmas pricing. GHD and Dyson Beauty: Hair electricals are consistently discounted at Boxing Day. GHD straighteners and dryers at Boots and John Lewis, and Dyson Airwrap and Supersonic at John Lewis. Dyson Beauty products rarely drop below 20% off but their full prices are high enough that even modest discounts are significant. Premium skincare at Selfridges: Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream, La Mer, and Clinique gift sets appear in Selfridges Boxing Day edit at their lowest prices. Worth tracking through December. M&S own-brand beauty: Often overlooked but M&S’s own beauty range — particularly their Body collection, bathroom sets, and fragrance diffusers — gets cleared at 50%+ on Boxing Day. Good quality at clearance pricing.

When do beauty Boxing Day deals start?

Boots: Online from midnight 26 December; in-store from opening time. The Star Gifts clearance page goes live online at midnight. Selfridges: Online from midnight 26 December; in-store from opening. Beauty tends to be heavily staffed on Boxing Day morning. John Lewis: Online midnight 26 December; in-store from opening. Marks & Spencer: Online midnight, in-store from Boxing Day morning. One practical note: beauty Boxing Day stock, particularly gift sets, moves quickly. Boots Star Gifts clearance in particular sells out popular sets within hours of the sale opening online. If you have specific sets in mind, the midnight opening matters.

Boxing Day vs Black Friday for beauty

Boxing Day and Black Friday have different strengths in beauty — and knowing which applies to what you’re buying matters. Boxing Day leads for gift set clearance (the core mechanic only works post-Christmas), Boots Star Gifts specifically, and fragrance gift sets at their best annual price. Black Friday is stronger for beauty subscription boxes and bundles, LOOKFANTASTIC and Cult Beauty events, and standalone (non-gift-set) skincare products. For gift sets and Boots Star Gifts: Boxing Day wins. For standalone skincare and beauty tech: Black Friday is the better moment.

Expert tips for beauty Boxing Day deals

Know the Boots Star Gifts clearance before it opens. Look at the Star Gifts selection in the weeks before Christmas — note which sets interest you and roughly what they cost. When the clearance opens, you can act quickly rather than browsing through hundreds of options under time pressure. Fragrance sets: check the contents carefully. Gift sets can include discontinued sizes or formulations. A Jo Malone set at 35% off is excellent value — but verify it includes a size you’ll actually use (not 9ml miniatures you’ll leave in a drawer). Advantage Card at Boots adds further value. The Boots Advantage Card earns points on sale purchases. At Boxing Day clearance pricing, the effective cash-back via Advantage Points adds another few percentage points to the deal. Premium skincare is a Boxing Day opportunity. If Charlotte Tilbury, Elemis, or Kiehl’s is beyond your normal budget, Boxing Day gift set pricing makes them accessible. The quality of these products is real — and clearance pricing means you’re not paying the premium gift packaging markup. Don’t buy beauty you won’t use. Gift sets with multiple products are tempting at 50% off. But a £30 set at 50% off is still £15 you didn’t need to spend if three of the five products don’t suit you. Buy sets where you’d use the majority of the contents.
