The Briefing

About this episode

Wednesday Headlines: World leaders condemn Israeli strikes in Qatar, nationwide protections urged amid retail crime wave, penalties tripled for dodgy childcare centres, travel ban proposed on US influencers over wildlife encounters, what we hate most about other drivers

Deep Dive: Sunscreen, tanning and the way we regulate products have all been thrown into the spotlight this year, after a CHOICE report found some popular sunscreens were well below their published SPF claims. 

It comes as tan lines have started trending across social media, with some unregulated tanning methods like tanning injections, nasals sprays and tanning gummies booming.  

In this episode of The Briefing, Helen Smith is joined by leading dermatologist and sun safety expert Dr Ryan de Cruz to explain the science behind tanning gummies.
