Here's How You Can Support Your Favorite Indie Beauty Brands And Studios Right Now

The implications of the coronavirus pandemic are being felt on a global scale. Industries around the world are finding new ways of operating, as spread of the highly-infectious virus has resulted in store closures, canceled events, and the call for social distancing, the CDC-recommended practice of staying home to help stop the spread. While everyone and everything has been impacted by the virus, if you're financially able, there are methods of helping to support the small businesses and people that you care about. For fans of all things beauty, here's how you can support your favorite indie beauty brands impacted by coronavirus right now.

In the wake of physical store closures, many brands are finding ways to reach their customers online. Stores like Glossier and Sephora have ceased in-store operations, and for smaller brands and services that would normally reach their customers through stockists and/or brick-and-mortar locations, there's no doubt that COVID-19 will be economically impactful. To stimulate business, these small brands are offering discounts across the entirety of their stock, sales on specific hero products, or have recently started offering gift cards that can be used once locations re-open in the future.

Below, a list of indie beauty and wellness brands and studios that you can support during this uncertain time, should you be financially able.
