Not counting July 4th cookouts and the highly anticipated "Barbie" movie, Amazon Prime Day is the event of the summer. The mid-week sale begins in the early morning hours of Tuesday, July 11, and continues through the end of July 12. In order to make the most out of this not-quite-national holiday, you'll need to first sign up for Amazon Prime. Although most memberships will cost you $14.99 monthly (or $139 a year), students can register for only $7.49. Hoping to avoid subscription fees entirely? Sign up for a 30-day free trial. (Just don't forget to cancel!) We also recommend downloading the Amazon app. This will give you a heads-up before a lighting sale starts. 

Along with historic deals on cutting-edge tech, fashion, and cookware, Amazon is offering an array of beauty discounts this July — if you're in the market for a new hair or skincare routine, now's the time to shop. Considering the thousands of products on sale (and selling out fast!), Prime Day is the virtual equivalent of a Black Friday stampede. If you're not quite sure where to begin, we've got you covered. Add these products to your Amazon cart so you can stock up and save!

Got sensitive teeth? Lumineux strips whiten without stripping your enamel or breaking your bank account. They use a combination of natural ingredients like coconut oil, sage oil, and lemon peel oil to get the job done. (Most whitening brands rely on hydrogen peroxide.) Amazon promises special deals this Prime Day, making the $49.99 kit even more affordable. Grab one for just $29.99. Here's how it works: fold a strip over your top and bottom teeth, letting them sit for 30 minutes before peeling off and rinsing with water. Repeat for seven days.

E.l.f. products are affordable, vegan, and high quality, a combination that can be hard to find in the often-overpriced world of skincare and makeup. Add their Holy Hydration! essentials mini kit to your Amazon cart this Prime Day. The price has already dropped by a solid 18%, going from $15 to $12.30. With your order, you'll receive a travel-sized cleanser, a toner, and a moisturizer — they're made with tried and tested ingredients like hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and aloe. Plus, if you're joining the ranks of airline travelers this summer, this kit is perfect for TSA.

Unlike chemical sunscreens, mineral sunscreens sit on top of your skin. "Mineral sunscreen [ingredients], zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, are small particles that sit on the skin's surface and physically prevent UV rays from penetrating the skin," Jennifer L. MacGregor, M.D., a New York City-based board-certified dermatologist explained to Everyday Health. CeraVe's hydrating mineral sunscreen is ideal for the acne-prone among us. Because it's tinted, you won't need to worry about a white cast ruining your makeup. What's more, the price has dropped from nearly $16 to just $13.13. 

And if you're looking for unpigmented sunscreen, check out select Sun Bum products for 20% off this Prime Day.

If you're looking to keep your curls bouncy, microfiber hair towels are a must. "It actually absorbs more water [than a cotton towel] without causing excessive dryness," hairstylist Sarah Klein told Makeup.com. Moreover, "It doesn't tangle or snag the hair, which overall causes less breakage." The Hicober set on Amazon comes in a pack of three — it's listed at 47% off for a limited time only, bringing the $29.99 price tag down to just $15.99. An attached elastic band and button will keep the towel in place as your hair dries. Follow it up with your favorite curl cream.

T3 sells salon-worthy tools for at-home use. This Prime Day, invest in a high-quality tool like the T3 SinglePass curling iron for up to 30% off! When you stop to consider the original price is $169, that's quite the markdown. The barrel comes in five sizes depending on your preference. It also has five heat settings, making it ideal for pretty much any hair type or texture. While you're at it, beef up your collection of hair care tools and add T3's compact dryer or detangling brush to your cart.

Dermaplaning regularly sparks debate within the skincare community. "It uses a painless blade to gently scrape away facial hair, or 'peach fuzz,' and rids the skin of any build-up of dead skin cells, all of which can contribute to making your skin look dull or uneven," London-based dermatologist Dr. Jinah Yoo outlined for Harper's Bazaar. (Don't worry, your hair won't grow back thicker.) As long as you properly disinfect your tools and steer clear of active breakouts, this technique can be incredibly effective. And now that the Kitsch 12-piece dermaplaning set has dropped from $14 to $6.29 for a limited time only, now's the time to give the technique a try.

If you've always been curious about luxury skincare, now's your chance to try it out. Certain Lancôme products will be on sale for 35% off between July 11 and 12. Add them to your Amazon cart and watch the prices tick down... The brand's Rénergie Lift Eye Cream is made up of ingredients like caffeine, hyaluronic acid, and linseed extract. The formula will depuff your eyebags, making your skin look visibly younger in the process. When it comes to anti-aging products, New York-based dermatologist Jeanette Graf, M.D., says it's better to start sooner rather than later (via Elle).

If snail mucin isn't already on your skincare radar, it should be. According to Anna Chacaon, M.D., a Miami-based dermatologist, "It contains hydrating characteristics that serve to strengthen the skin barrier and keep moisture in" (via Everyday Health). The Korean skincare brand CORSX is known for its top-tier snail-based products. Emily Ratajkowski swears by their repairing essence, which can be sprayed onto the face twice a day for a healthy-looking glow. What's more, it's already 42% off on Amazon, making the $25 bottle just $14.50. Act fast.
