Nowadays, when you flip pages of beauty/fashion magazine , I am sure you will see a lot of advertisements of skincare/cosmetic products.
Seeing the growing numbers of different beauty companies in the market, I think it's really hard for consumers to make a decision on which is good or which is suitable for them. So, consumers normally have to spend lots of money in trying and finding the most suitable product. View this from another angle, actually consumers are paying money to treat themselves as animals in the experiment.
Not only that, these advertisements usually come with pretty models and all kinds of claims about how brilliant are their products. This is how they attract new customers to try on their products. Because most asian girls want to have fair skin and every women want to beat the natural process of aging.
But, after a second thought, are all these considered as good thing or bad sign?
1)There is no evidence to prove what they have claimed about their products.
2)There is no specific regulatory body to regulate all these skin care products. This is because these products would not normally cause any deaths or adverse effects.
For example, there is one type of products which can make your skin shiny and smooth. This kind of products help to remove the first few layers of your skin. But, after you used this products, you cannot expose your face in the sun, or not you will more prone to sunburn than others.
All I wanted to say in this post is --Shouldn't we have some sort of strategies to regulate all these skin care products even though it will not cause adverse effects like medications? I think we should. :)
