Balea, dm's own beauty brand, sells three advent calendars for 2026, all from the German drugstore's shelves: Warm Wishes at 16.95 EUR, 24 doors of skincare and body care in travel sizes; Balea Men at 16.95, a night-blue box of the men's face, body and hair range; and the XMAS Face Beauty Collection at 24.95, the one whose 24 pieces dm prints, which is why it is the best rated of the three at 4 out of 5. This is the under-25 tier of the beauty shelf (twenty-four travel sizes for the price of one full-size cream) and the right first calendar for a teenager; alverde, dm's natural line, sits beside it.

Twenty-four Balea face products that make a full routine, every one named on the page, for 24.95 EUR; the best-organised cheap skincare calendar on the shelf. The dm listing prints no sizes, so how long the routine lasts is a guess.

Twenty-four Balea travel sizes across face, body and hair for 16.95 EUR is the cheapest beauty calendar we list that a person would actually use, and the right first calendar for a teenager.
