TIME IT RIGHT
AT THE DEPARTMENT STORE: Rooting out the latest anti-aging serums takes concentration, so don't try it on Saks Double Points days. Department store skin-care floors are most peaceful in the early morning and mid-afternoon (2 p.m. to 4 p.m.) on Mondays and Tuesdays, when most of the world is at work. If you can't shop then, hit the stores in the evening, early in the week-Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday are quietest-or as soon as the doors open on weekends, suggests Barbara Zinn Moore, general merchandise manager of cosmetics and fragrances at Lord & Taylor.
AT THE DRUGSTORE: Expect the skin-care aisles to be more jammed than usual on Fridays and Saturdays.
