my daughter is 7 months pregnant and wants a spray tan, is it safe,?

Answer 1

Yes spray tanning is very safe during pregnancy. The spray is made from pure vegetable oil, so it is natural. I would not suggest tanning in a bed though...very unsafe for your unborn fetus. The only thing bad about spray tanning is that it wears off fast if you don't reapply within 5 to 7 days. Also if you get hot and sweat easily it will wear off faster, and make your skin look nasty, like its peeling from a sunburn!!! If you reapply regularly...ITS GREAT!!!

Answer 2

before i got pregnant i was a tanning bed junkie!!!! the owner of the tanning bed swears it's safe to tan in a bed and get a spray on tan b/c neither penetrate the uterus. both tans are only skin deep. I have also read alot on tanning/spray on tans and pregnancy and all say it's safe. unfortunately, even after all this research i have done, my doctor told me "no" so I am white as a ghost right now at 25 weeks pregnant.

Answer 3

Spray tans are generally safe. Mystic tan used to contain chemicals that were a risk to pregnant women, but they've since re-created their formula so that it no longer contains mercury or retinol. And that was over two years ago.

The other thing to consider when using a self tanner while pregnant is that there's more of a chance to have "splotching".

Answer 4

Some people say yes, some say no... it may entirely depend on the brand. I would recommend looking up the website or 800 number for the brand she wants to use, and call them to ask personally.
I found a site with a similar question regarding one called Mystic Tan... one of the answers to that one, the girl had researched the brand's website, and it had said to "consult a doctor" if pregnant.

Not really my business, but if she's waited this long, what's another two months - just in case it IS harmful?

Answer 5

i would say no to this question, some spray tans have somethink in that is assorbed in to the blood , there is no evedience to say it is unsafe or to say the effects on the human body i can not remebmer the name of the stuff, sorry, , but a self tanning lotion from the shop will be ok. nivia is a good one.

ps if you go and ask at a sallon thay will say it is safe, but they are not told all the info about the spray tan from the supplyer,

Answer 6

I dont know if its safe or not but i would assume that it is NOT safe. Too often women think too much about their apperance when pregnant.(although i can understand that) , She only has to wait a few months. Its not too much to ask for her to put her baby first.She chose to get pregnant so should look after the baby.

Answer 7

you're completely high-quality tanning whilst pregnant, and the child would be high-quality. I advise making use of tanning lotion particularly of tanning oil yet the two continues to be high-quality. in basic terms stay hydrated. have relaxing!

Answer 8

its safe, and doesnt carry the health risks that things such as tanning booths or lying in the sun for hours have.

Answer 9

yes my two friends had one done when they were heavily pregnant also im 21 weeks preg and will def be getting one done in april ready for the summer.

Answer 10

yes its perfectly safe, i had it done last week, it looks great, makes you feel great. why not let her go for it. we put a lot of stuff on our skin. ie soap, shower gel, oils, its all natural ingredients. good luck and dont worry it doesnt last long, she will feel great.
