Have you ever used a product for so long it made you think "why have I not run out of it yet?". A realist would suggest this questioning could be because I am not enjoying them as much as I did, which could be true - I have a quick attention span and I like to change up things from time to time otherwise I get bored. The downside of constantly rotating skincare is that most products need consistent use to show their benefits. In addition, I usually just about can finish up a bottle before it's "use before" date. Now, say it takes you 4 month to use a moisturiser. That is fine because most green beauty products are good to be used within 6-12 months since opening. Now imagine you have 4 open bottles of moisturiser and some are need to be used within 6 months of opening. This puts pressure to either use up the one with the shortest use by period or face the fact that after a while you will be using moisturisers which have lost their freshness and maybe even went bad. Apart from wasting product and money and causing some breakouts (ain't nobody got time for that!), this situation is just heart breaking! In addition, this takes up extra storage room in your bathroom. I do not mind having a stash of various unopened bottles and jars tucked away in a box but doing this to my opened products risks of completely forgetting to use them. Of course, it is different if you are using same type of products which are doing different things. For example, I have a number of opened face masks at any one point because I usually have an acid peel mask, a clay based mask, a scrub and a couple of masks from Niod. But I don't see the point of having more than one open hyaluronic acid serum because they will be doing the same thing. You get me?
