Fake cosmetics are being sold in every nook and corner of the country without any fear. Government should also stop advertisement of unbranded fake cosmetics and quack doctors' wonder treatments.

Pakistan government should crack down on toxic Skin/face-Whitening cosmetic products and also the Skin-Whitening 'obsessive' advertisements.

A similar action is needed in the province of Sindh. There are too many cosmetics which are available for sale whether quality products or home made cosmetics and a large number of girls and women are using these cosmetics without knowing the repercussions that what will happen to their skins, more particularly the skin on the face and its ultimate reaction. The health department of govt. of Sindh should prepare list of all international and home made cosmetics and inform through its website and announcements on print and electronic media for awareness at large scale for the information of the girls and women. There are too many 'Mashwara Bi's' / 'Cosmetic Advisors' who advise the young age girls and ignorant women as which cosmetics they should use to look like fair skin and colour after using particular cosmetics in order to promote the sale of newly introduced cosmetics. The provincial govt. of Sindh should move fast before it is too late to act to in the interest of people.
