The Bath & Body Works Semi-Annual Sale is a twice-a-year clearance sale that lasts three weeks to a month.

The Bath & Body Works Semi-Annual Sale is a massive clearance event where you can find some of the best deals of the year — beating their most high-profile sales on some products. 

The sale happens twice a year (in early June and after Christmas), and although they’re both massive clearance events, they’re each a little bit different. The June sale is nearly a month long, with lots of markdowns on winter and spring products. By contrast, the December sale is typically about three weeks long and focuses on fall and holiday clearance (it ran Dec. 26 - Jan. 17 in 2024 - 25).

KCL predicts the summer Bath & Body Works Semi-Annual Sale will start June 16.

How do we make our prediction?

We originally thought the sale would match last year's timing and start June 1. But then we started calling stores and were told that the sale would be "middle of June" and "after Father's Day." So we're putting our money on June 16.

The length of the summer sale varies; it went for 53 days last year, but in the past it's stuck to 31 days. So be ready for it to end mid-July (but possibly go longer).

Here are the recent start dates for the December Semi-Annual Sale:

• Thursday, Dec. 26, 2024 (22 days)

• Tuesday, Dec. 26, 2023 (25 days)

• Monday, Dec. 26, 2022 (22 days)

• Sunday, Dec. 26, 2021 (26 days)

And the recent start dates for the June Semi-Annual Clearance Sale:

• Saturday, June 1, 2024 (53 days)

• Saturday, June 3, 2023 (31 days)

• Saturday June 11, 2022 (31 days)

Rule of thumb: Aim to save 75% during the Bath & Body Works Semi-Annual Sale.

The goal here is to save at least 75% on each item you purchase. You’ll find the best deals on seasonal scents that are on their way out the door. Because Bath & Body Works doesn't typically put their merchandise on clearance the rest of the year, the Semi-Annual Sale is the primary way they manage their inventory.

The best deals online are almost always in the final two days of the sale.

Shop the sale early — then go back for a price adjustment.

Bath & Body Works updated their price adjustment and return policies back in Sept. 2022. Their policy now states that both online and in-store purchases are eligible for a one-time price adjustment within 14 days of the original purchase. That means you can shop the week before the Semi-Annual Sale and return with your receipt to receive the difference credited back to your original form of payment.

But certain sales aren't eligible for price adjustments.

Certain sales aren't eligible for price adjustments, including flash sales, select promotions lasting 24 hours or less, Candle Day, and email offers. So you'll have to make a return with your receipt and then repurchase the item at the new cheaper price.

If you buy online, you can't get a price adjustment in-store, and vice versa.

BathandBodyWorks.com is considered separate from your local store. Because of this, price adjustments don't work across party lines. Online purchases can receive an online price adjustment if you submit a contact form. In-store price adjustments require an original receipt.

KCL TIP: Keep the official Bath & Body Works return and price adjustment policy handy in case you run into any questions in the store.

Bath & Body Works Semi-Annual Sale 2025 FAQs

Is there Bath & Body Works clearance?

Technically, there's not a Bath & Body Works clearance sale. But if you're shopping the Semi-Annual Sale online, you could think of the last two days of the sale as a clearance of sorts. This is the retailer's last push to get everything off the shelves. If you're shopping in store, you'll see discounts get deeper, but you'll also see inventory disappear, which is why I recommend you don't wait to shop in store.

What day is the big candle sale at Bath & Body Works?

Candle Day falls in early December. In 2024, it took place Dec. 6 - 8. In 2023, Bath & Body Works Candle Day sale was Dec. 1 - 3. The sale always begins eight days after Thanksgiving, on a Friday.

How many times a year does Bath & Body Works have sales?

In addition to June and late-December when Bath & Body Works Semi-Annual sales take place, watch for Candle Day at the start of December and Body Care Day about a week after that. Those are the biggies. You'll also find Member Appreciation sales in May and August. Truly though, the two semiannual sales are the best of the year.

How long is the Bath & Body Works Semi-Annual Sale in 2025?

Expect the summer sale to last roughly one month (June). The winter sale usually runs for three weeks, spanning December and January.
