Is ok to get a spray tan when you're pregnant?

I know tanning beds are not recommended.Is ok to get a spray tan when you're pregnant?
I wouldn't





Have a Wonderful Wednesday :)Is ok to get a spray tan when you're pregnant?
It's totally safe, the solution does not penetrate past your dermal layer . the good kinds react with the melanin in your skin, tricking it into thinking it is being exposed to light and therefore needs to pick up production and darken your skin, the cheapo kinds just stain the outer layers of your skin; but neither types are capable of entering your bloodstream and as such, cannot reach your baby.


Test on a small area first though before spraying down your whole body, since you are more prone to sensitive skin during pregnancy you may have an allergic reaction, also the pregnancy hormones can cause strange results (many a pregnant woman has gotten her haired dyed, knowing it is perfectly safe in pregnancy, only to end up with orange hair, lol)


Bronze your heart out.
I don't see why not. It's better than the tanning bed, or at least I would think so. I use that lotion and I'm fine. Call up to your OB's office and check to be certain, but I wouldn't think it woule be a problem.
