How long do you takeโ˜บ๏ธ?

Hi Picky Members๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Š Last night I was talking with my hubby about why I take so long to do my PM Skincare Routine, & I began to wonder how many other people may take as long as I do?- OR less? OR more?, or if I'm putting more time in than I really need to? I take an hour every night--sometimes a little over an hour...But I take my time & really massage/pat each product in. I also give some time in-between each step (like after my Differn "adapalene gel", or after a serum before applying another serum). Even on the nights Im super tired, if I dare doze off & wake up at 2am, I'll get up & still apply my hour PM routine ๐Ÿ™ˆ So I was curious, How long do you take when doing your nighttime routine? Is it 10min, 15min...an hour? More?

For me, about 10 min... I only use 2 serums at night, so didn't need to wait too long

My PM routine ranges depending on which products I am using, but it usually takes 30ish minutes. Most of the time I am waiting for the product to absorb into my skin before I apply the next item, so that takes up more time. I am usually watching a series or movie while doing my PM routine so I am not rushing it haha

So true about it ranging on which products you use for that night.--(like, if you alternate with a couple different PM routines) & I also take the time to let my products absorb into my skin before the next step which can be time consuming depending on how steps you have....but that's ok with me cause I do my skincare in front of a big mirror in my room & usually have something on YouTube on our TV which is on the wall next to it..So its not like I'm standing around in the bathroom forever waiting for each product to absorb ๐Ÿ˜„ Which there's nothing wrong with either if that's what other people choose to do. Everyones different โค๏ธ
