Random weird question...

Maybe Im nuts but I swear its not right. Before I was pregnant I would get spray tans every few months just for occasions, and they always make me really dark and they looked awesome! well now that Im pregnant and its winter time, I need a tan so I went to the SAME place, got the SAME formula, SAME kind and got a mystic tan (as always)..and I wake up THE SAME color I was before I got the spray tan! It did NOTHING for my skin! Im still pale. Im so confused. Does pregnancy effect how well you turn with a spray tan or something?! because I did everything right. I didnt shower 8 hours after, I exfoliated beforehand. I promise Im not crazy haha

    hmmm...good question! I was considering going and getting a mystic tan soon here because of how pale I look.

    I know last week when I got my acrylic nails done, my hands were SO cold that the gel powder wasn't sticking to my nails and the lady had to put my hands in front of a heater. I swear my body temp is wacko because of pregnancy!

    Yes. The pH levels in your skin are affected by the change in hormone levels from pregnancy. Consider asking your salon if they do a pH balance spray before the tan. Also be careful not to over-exfoliate because it can ruin your skin which makes the tan turn out splotchy. One thing cosmetology school really taught me is that skin pH is one of the most important factors in successful procedure (be it hair, makeup, tan, etc). I hope you are able to find a balance that works for you.
