Prime Day starts on October 6, but these beauty deals are going as we speak.Kara Birnbaum / NBC NewsAmazon Prime Day may not start until October 6, but you can already find discounts on beauty and wellness products on the site right now, exclusive to Prime members ahead of the big sale. Some of the top deals include up to 50% off bestselling products like moisturizer, face masks, cleansers and more.

I frequently cover shopping events like Prime Day, Black Friday and Cyber Monday as a writer for NBC Selected, so I know how to find deals that are actually worth buying. I spent weeks combing through thousands of discounts to find the best early Prime Day beauty deals — each one I recommend below is highly rated and 20 percent off or more, as well as at its lowest price in at least three months. I’ll frequently update this list with editor-approved picks leading up to and throughout Prime Big Deal Days.
