How Much Skincare Do YOU Use Every Day?

There is an often-repeated beauty-event fact that in Korea, the typical woman applies, on average, 17 skincare items a day. Everybody goes, "oh, WOW," and then ponders how good the typical Korean woman's skin must be as a result.

Recently, I tallied up everything of mine--it was a moment of sleeplessness, and I figured it would be like counting sheep--and including in-shower-type things, I use....nine, on an ordinary day. (I'd count them all out for you, but I fear you might doze off--but I can do it upon request, if you like). Having lost all sense of perspective, I can't tell if this is reasonable or insane. What say you? And what's your total?
