Well, I don't like to watch a lot of advertisements because it's a waste of time. Sometimes advertisements make us happy, and sometimes they make us feel something. I'd like to talk about an ad I saw a few months ago. It was for a skin care cream called Fair & Lovely. But after the name of the product was changed to Glow & Lovely, I saw this advertisement on TV when I was just watching. It's all about a face cream product. This type of ad plays on girls' emotions. I remember that I, a few girls in my class, teased me because of my fair skin color. I felt really sad because they didn't value others' emotions. At that time, I was suffering from stress. Apart from this, I watched an advertisement for the cream and ordered it from Amazon. I applied this cream to my face, and I got a very bad result. After applying the cream, I felt very sad because it damaged my skin. My mother made a homemade remedy for my skin with ground flour and rose water, which gave me good results. So that was the time when I saw an advertisement and got a very bad result.
