Spray Tan?

MrsKatie

So I am in a wedding next Friday and am obviously pretty large and in charge at this point.  To make myself feel a "little" better about sporting a tight red dress I was thinking of getting a spray tan since I can't actually go tanning right now.

I've Google'd and haven't seen anything that says "No", but am wondering what you think?  I know you don't breathe when they spray you and I can't see a reason why it wouldn't be safe, but I'd rather check then walk in and have the place laugh at me.

My Doc said no with spray tan. I did use the Sally Hanson spray on stuff for legs (https://www.totalbeauty.com/reviews/product/6056511/sally-hansen-airbrush-legs-leg-makeup not self-tanner so wont' stay on after shower but it did the trick) or the NARS body glow (https://sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P2856&categoryId=B70) and bronzer for my face. I was too chicken to actually get a spray tan while pg. I do it all the rest of time, just not when pg.

Yep that sally hanson stuff is great and I also LOVE Loreal sublime bronze one day gel.  Apply it with rubber gloves on so it doesn't stain the bottom of your hands and then just use a little to do the tops of your hands at the end.  I used this for a derby party I went to last may when I had not seen the sun at all!  It gives you an awesome tan look and is super easy to use.

Most places won't spray tan pregnant ladies because there really isn't enough research on it and the fumes stay in the air, so you will breathe it in even if you hold your breath while the spray is happening. 

I used similar products as PP when I was pregnant to help me feel a little better about myself!

Thank you so much!

I'll be buying the Sally Hansen stuff tonight!

FYI - the Sally Hanson stuff is great for legs (looks like stocking but better) but try some bronze shimmer lotion or oil for your arms.  makes you feel like you have that "I just went on vacation" glow.
