How can i increase melanin ?

Can't : It is just your body. Going out in the sun it brings out your melanin but that is bad by causing skin cancer and premature aging.

Not really possible: Your ability to make melanin is genetically predetermined. You can't make more of something that you aren't naturally going to make. Not sure what you are hoping to accomplish but i hope that helps clarify a bit for you.
