Too good to be true: Dermatologist warns against tanning nasal sprays

The medic said the “pushing of these products” by some influencers is extremely worrying

A consultant dermatologist has warned of the irresponsibility of some influencers in promoting “very, very dangerous” nasal sprays containing the ‘Barbie drug’ melanotan.

Professor Catriona Ryan said that melanotan has been in existence for about 15 years and it was traditionally sold in injectable form. However, it has recently become more popular and is being purchased as nasal sprays.
