I would completely disagree with this view, because I think beauty products aren’t a sensitive content or some inappropriate thing to advertise to children. I think they are a general product, and anyone would buy them regardless of their age. So they shouldn’t be banned off advertising to children, but they should be restricted to an age, because many children do come in inferiority complex, seeing the beautiful celebrities and models which appear on tv, and different detail, uh, promotions, which can be, uh, a detrimental effect, uh, to the brain of children, and it can, uh, keep them in an inferiority complex. So there should be an age restriction, but they shouldn’t be banned or completely, uh, completely limited, uh, towards the adult. I think children should be, uh, able to see these products if they really need it, but after some age.

I completely disagree with the view that beauty products shouldn't be advertised to children. While beauty products aren't inherently sensitive or inappropriate, I believe there should be age restrictions on their advertising. Children are highly susceptible to influence, and seeing idealized images of beauty in advertising can contribute to body image issues and low self-esteem. Exposure to these messages can create an inferiority complex, especially when they see celebrities and models who often don't represent realistic standards of beauty. While I don't think beauty products should be completely banned from advertising to children, there needs to be a balance. Children should be able to see these products if they need them, but only after a certain age when they are more mature and less vulnerable to the potential negative impacts of advertising.
