Police in Ayrshire have issued a warning over buying fake cosmetics.

The force says the fake goods can be harmful, and are not worth the saving they can give you.

A spokesperson said: “Every time you buy fake cosmetics, you’re taking a chance with allergic reaction, acne, eczema, skin rashes, infections and poisoning amongst other risks.

“If you know who’s sourcing and selling fake goods, you can tell us what you know and remain 100 per cent anonymous.”
