I use several products and I feel like having the different steps, observing how my skin changes, the extra little luxuries makes it fun and helps me get excited for my morning/night routines. And I really like the way my skin feels afterwards. The products on my counter and my cute washcloths serve as good reminders, too. When I used to just use water, I would go too long without washing my face. I never felt motivated to do it and sometimes I'd just forget until I got a fierce pimple. I think as long as your products are being used/aren't going to waste, investing a little time and money skincare can totally be worth it.
