Self tanner while pregnant?

Hey ladies. Wondering if anyone uses self tanners, or spray tanning while pregnant? Are they safe?

Re: Self tanner while pregnant?

  • I've heard to stay away from
    Sprays because inhalation isn't good for the baby and its darn near impossible to hold your breath that long lol.

  • Ask your doctor. I have heard various accounts as to whether people think they're safe.

    Dying your hair is safe and it takes far longer to do that than to spray tan... So I say ask your doctor their opinion

    As a salon owner, most spray tans (if they are done custom by a trained technician and not a booth) are organic based. I asked my doctor about getting spray tans and giving them since it is part of my job. He said as long as I am not doing them everyday and it is in a well venihlated area it is totally fine for baby :)

    Better to be safe than sorry. Nothing wrong with not being tan! :)
  • I just had one done. My doctor said they're safe and she has them done herself (she's expecting also)
  • Every doctor is different - mine is in the camp of avoiding it due to inhalation. I bought some gradual tan lotion made by Hempz that I really like.
