Ok ladies...self tanner suggestions!!!

Ok I need suggestions on best self tanner lotions that won't streak and are safe for pregnancy. I tan really easily but can't ever seem to find time to get my butt out in the sun. The hubby is in the military and away at the moment but he will be back the beginning of May and I'm hoping to be significantly tanner than I am right now. Current color is what I would like to call translucent. :) thanks

  • I have used suave all last year but only used it once in this pregnancy. My doctor said there wasn't enough research to know if they're safe or not so I don't know what to do

  • I figured I would wait till my appointment on Thursday to ask my OB but I know my friend used it through her whole pregnancy and her baby turned out perfectly fine. Just trying to get some different ideas! Thanks for your responses!
  • I've been using Tan Towels! They are basically a towel or wipe that is saturated in the self tanner and you wipe them on and that's that! I have had good experience with not streaking and having a nice rich color (not orange!) you can get them at Sephora but I found them on Amazon for a great price!
  • I second tan towel it comes in a lotion too. I got mine at Ulta. It gives a good color not orange at all and no streaking.
  • Has anyone had any experience with the self tanners at the beach? I've heard some self tanners can come off with salt water. I'd love to get some color before going to the beach....don't want to blind anyone! @-)

    @BrittanyG615 my daughter has gotten the fake bake spray tan from a salon and then after the 8 something hours you have to wait to shower gotten in salt water and her tan still looked good. Check with local salons that offer spray tans. I am not sure how safe spray tans are with pregnancy though.
  • Anyone tried spray tanning? I am in a wedding in May and tan quickly but do not have the time to lay out alot before then :) Dont know if I should use self tanner or spray...
