Nowadays, the market is flooded with cosmetic products and profit is tremendously surging for the manufacturers throughout the globe. There are several reasons behind
this
 scenario and long term repercussions of
this
 on health ,as well as on community which ,cannot be overlooked. The primary reason is that fair
skin
 is regarded as one of the paramount parameters of beauty measurement. Definitely, in today’s modern times everyone wants to flaunt their appearance and to look fairer they fall into the trap of these cosmetic companies without acknowledging the detrimental effects of these in long run. Another chief cause is peer pressure. Indeed, teenagers are more conscious of their
skin
 tone and to attract the opposite sex, they end up spending extravagantly on these beauty enhancers. Evidently, these creams are enriched with hazardous chemicals which in turn leads to various
skin
 ailments, out of which some are non-curable
such
 as

 cancer. Not only
this
, the chemicals incorporated into these goods stop the formation of new
skin
 cells eventually, leads to a loss of
skin
 elasticity which in turn makes
skin
 more prone to diseases
such
 as fungal infections.

, society is
also
 no exception in
this
 regard owing to the fact that

 individuals with darker complexes are humiliated by the fairer one. Several cases of racism assaults have been reported. Yet, it is witnessed that leverage of non-fair
skin
 is taken by the groom side in the form of a dowry as compensation for the bride's dusky colour.
For instance
, a survey revealed that Australia ranked
second
 in cases of racial attacks on basis of
skin
 tone. To conclude, the cosmetic market is a trending business in today’s time due to beauty competition among people, irrespective of its negative impacts on health and society in terms of diseases caused as well as assaults on basis of creed.
