Jergens Natural Glow Lotion....okay to use?

in 2nd Trimester

I am itching to get SOME color on my skin and used to use Jergens Natural Glow lotion in the winter months.

Does anyone know if this is taboo during pregnancy?  I know regular self tanners are generally a no-no, but this somehow seems less harmful?

    Does the lotion try to active the melanocytes in your skin (the cells that make your skin tan when you are outdoors)?  If it does, then I wouldn't use it.  Women who expose themselves to tanning can get melasma (darkened spots due to a combo of hormones and sun exposure).  These spots can be permanent in some cases.

    I wouldn't - too many freaky chemicals in stuff like that.

    It's fine.  I've used it regularly since I was diagnosed with skin cancer, even during pregnancy.  Self tanners are okay, too.  I'd ask your OB just to make sure, but I give you my personal guarantee that Jergens Natural Glow is safe and works well during pregnancy!  My LO and I are doing just fine.
