Dozens of social-media influencers are promoting banned tanning products to millions of followers, a BBC News investigation has found.
It is illegal in the UK to sell nasal sprays or injectables made with "melanotan-2", an artificial hormone that can accelerate tanning.
The unlicensed drug is dangerous, dermatologists say, and there is evidence the untested products may be linked to skin cancer.
The Advertising Standards Agency says all influencers must act responsibly, including ensuring products and the companies they link to are not acting illegally.
