What is your greatest extravagance?

My evening beauty ritual is my greatest extravagance because not only does it take long, it’s expensive. I start with washing my face with Schwanen Garten antioxidant Foaming Cleanser, followed by massaging my face in circular motions with ice-cubed cucumber water, 10-minutes of electric stimulation with Purelift Pro Plus, followed by Haruharu Wonder Black Rice Hyaluronic Toner, and Valmont’s V-Firm eye cream and serum.
