Dangerous Nasal Spray Tans: UK Health Warning

Nasal spray tans are becoming increasingly popular, but a recent warning from health experts highlights significant health risks. These unregulated products often contain Melanotan II, a chemical that darkens skin pigmentation, but can lead to serious side effects. "These sprays can cause vomiting, high blood pressure, and may be linked to melanoma," explains a health official. The products bypass UK regulations by being sold as cosmetics, raising concerns about safety standards. The ITV News report urges consumers to exercise caution and check the safety of their tanning products, seeking medical advice if any concerns arise. The lack of regulation highlights the need for stricter controls on the cosmetics industry to protect consumers.
