Melanion enhancing products have been doing the rounds on the internet recently, but what do we really know about them? 

For today's episode of Spotlight, Kelly discusses why we should be wary of any product that promotes a tan and her eyewitness testimony from seeing it first hand. 

Plus we hear from Dr Deshan Sebaratnam, Dermatologist from Liverpool Hospital and Senior Lecturer at the University of New South Wales, to chat about the science behind melanin boosting and why we should act cautiously.
