WHY BOTHER
cover up as it's cold outside, so no-one should be able to see you or your bump!

Fake tan products do not contain any protection from the sun so you will need to use sun protection if you are exposed to sunlight. At present there are no known dangers of fake tanning lotions. However allergic reactions are uncommon but possible and the British Medical Association advises that self tanning lotions should not be used in pregnancy for this reason. Remember your skin can become more sensitive in pregnancy due to hormone level changes, so if you are going to use fake tans, you should do a patch test first to see if you are sensitive to the ingredients or not. If you have any kind of allergic reaction to the product you should stop using it immediately.

Take a look at the back of the bottle and read the ingredients. Do you really know what all those chemicals are? Do you really know how they interact with each other? Or how they interact with the other chemicals that you are exposed to during normal everyday life?
During pregnancy we should try to reduce the toxic load on our bodies as much as possible. In my opinion, this includes reducing the amout of unnecessary chemcials put on the skin.

No i don't think there is any harm in using the cream. Johnsons products are very sensitive, I use their moisturiser and shower gel all the time as I have very sensitive skin. I think it would say on the reverse of the bottle if you cannot use it.

Yes there is no problem using fake tan while pregnant, things that you should try to stay away from is more hair products with alot of amonia in it, they even say its ok to tint your hair these days, they just say dont be in a place where they are painting fingernails all day or hair
Best of luck

No. in basic terms like you at the instantaneous are not suggested to apply hair dye and relaxers, spray tanner isn't an outstanding concept. The chemical substances will sink into your dermis, and the fumes will be very volatile on your toddler. stay faraway from self tanners and wait till once you've given delivery. you do not prefer to take a chance.

Any "chemical" could be injested in to your system, then to your baby. You should be asking your obgyn this question. Why take a risk for a "temporary" tan. Just doesn't seem worth it to me!

im sure you can use it! as long as you arent laying out in the sun..or in a tanning bed! but your skin might take differently to it! meaning you might not get the same results as if you werent pregnant

I would check with your doctor just to be sure, but no I don't think it's safe. I have heard that anything that is absorbed into your skin affects your baby.

i asked my ob/gyn this question and he said not on the belly or near mucus membranes which pretty much defeats the point of using it he related it to coloring hair or getting acrylic nails its not going to kill you but its probably not a good idea
