Might be the dumbest question ever.. but..

Can you use self tanners? ?  I couldn't remember if that was a concern or not!!  My previous babies were winter babies so I didn't really care.  My office is SO hot and I would to start wearing my shorter dresses.. without leggings underneath them but oh my .. my legs are not only like tree trunks but they are white as white can be!  I was thinking about maybe a spray tan or maybe just some self tanner.. if I could find a brand that didn't smell disgusting.  

It's Friday.. I can't think about anything deeper than self tanner. lol  My brain is fried!

    Well, I've used it a handful of times without giving it any thought or research, so I hope it's OK!

    Lol I broke down and bought some. It's a spray. Works pretty well actually and not too stinky! I had a bit of debacle the first time. Lol it says not to rub it but I had some blatchy patches so I decided to rub the next time.

    I have never seen it specifically mentioned that you shouldn't.  Just keep in mind anything you put on your skin goes into your body.  So if you do want to use them, its probably best to keep it very minimal

    I just have one shorter summery dress that I wanted to wear to my shower yesterday. That's really the only reason I bought it.  It actually darkened up pretty quickly too so I only ended up needing two applications.  I probably won't use it again unless I wear the dress again.  I'll be on maternity most of the summer so hopefully we'll be outside and I'll get some real color!

    I've been told it's perfectly safe, it isn't absorbed into blood stream. Main thing is to be sure the room is well ventilated when using the spray.

    I always feel better after a spray tan

    Would love a self tanner recommendation if you have one you like? Haven't used one in a long time but am getting dark hormone lines, yay, so would love to darken up a bit.

    I heard it's not a problem but the color may not come out the way it usually does.
