so, before I share some of the preventive measure to overcome with the negative effects of

cosmetics, I want to let you know you that lately there have been many dangerous cosmetic
products. one of the most famous is what we called the "kilo weight" product, which is a cosmetic
product that contains high levels of chemicals that can erode the skin such likes mercury. according
to pharmacist Siti Hawa Mohd Nor, the product called timbang kilo contains prohibited substances
whether original or not. it can damage not only the face, but also the nerves and kidneys.

So how do we avoid being deceived by cosmetic products like this. First and foremost, you need to
use cosmetic products that have approval from the Ministry of Health. This is because all cosmetic
products notified by the Ministry of Health will be continuously monitored by the NPRA through the
Notified Cosmetic Product Quality Monitoring Program to ensure that every cosmetic product
registered in the market complies with the requirements of the guidelines and laws set, quality and
safety. Other than that, always store cosmetic products in the appropriate place. Storage of cosmetic
products in a suitable way and place can preserve the quality of cosmetic products. For example,
very hot environmental temperatures can cause the texture and aroma of some cosmetic products
such as lipstick, moisturizing cream and perfume to change and the product is not suitable for use
anymore. After that, for individuals with serious skin problems, refrain from using any cosmetic
product whose ingredients have not been identified and immediately consult a doctor or
dermatologist. Last but not least, we always need to be alert and don't be easily fooled by
advertisements for unethical cosmetic products. Especially advertisements that promise drastic
effects such as skin becoming fluffy white in a short period of time because it is feared that such
products are contaminated with harmful prohibited substances and may cause negative effects to
consumers.
