How often do you truly know what you put on your face? I don't know about you, but I don't worry much about what I am putting on my face when I see a title like "Revive your skin" or "Revitalize like new". I get drawn in by the sleek design and catchy phrase of a face mask that I do not spend even a minute looking at the ingredients on the back. This is quite a bad habit, but bad habits die hard, right? Wrong. I am fixing this habit by learning to understanding what should and should not be put on my skin to keep it truly "revitalized" so I don't have to "revive".
