Skincare imparts benefits beyond what you see in the mirror. The sensorial delights of massaging on a product, the structure that a daily routine provides—these small joys have value, too. Such fringe benefits can also help you stay consistent with your skincare routine! Results take time, and it’s easy to get discouraged by a perceived lack of progress. But a lovely texture, a lush aroma, or the ritual element of daily practice can keep you coming back for more. They may not yield direct skin benefits, but these perks can encourage you to stay consistent with your products for long enough to achieve those visible results. Enjoyment has utility. So feel free to seek joy in your skincare!
