Self-Tanners

For the second-, third-, etc time moms, what suggestions do you have for self-tanning creams or sprays?? This deathly pale momma would like a little something safe to use (if such exists) during these upcoming summer months! Nothing I'd have to go to Ulta for, preferably something in my Target budget range :smile:

    Because of FDA guidelines etc, there are no studies regarding the safety of self-tanning products during pregnancy.

    Stay pale. Don't use them. Embrace the scary whiteness.

    I'm not a second or third time mom but, I kinda figure of all things why bother with that? You won't be alone being pale this summer  :#

    I'm gonna get flamed but whatever. 

    I I got a Spraytan last Thursday for my brothers wedding this weekend. There is a place near my house that offers all organic products. She said she tans a lot of pregnant people. I would do it again. 

    But I also had a glass of red wine at the reception so take my advice with a grain of salt.

    I was going to ask a similar question! I just need a titch of color without real color! ;)

    I've been using Nature's Gate sunless tanning lotion occasionally and I like it a lot.  It leaves out a lot of the most toxic chemicals.  From what I've been reading it's unlikely that sunless tanner would harm the baby but there haven't been conclusive studies to prove this.

    My OB and MFM said it was okay to get a spray tan.

    I use a self tanner from Arbonne. Their products are all natural and they dont use the harsh chemicals other companies use. My aunt sells it and has been real helpful with getting me info on all the ingredients and such.
