What's your opinion on spray tanning during pregnancy?

[nicolec78]

I wouldn't . I'm embracing my paleness.

I went into a coma after getting a spray tan for a wedding once.

[tatersalad]

Just kidding. I actually signed up for a monthly package at our local air tan after I found out I was pregnant. My doctor sees nothing wrong with it and I haven't had any adverse reactions. I used to do a Mystic booth and there are definitely less fumes with a handheld air tan versus a booth, but if your doctor says it's okay I'd go for it.

Horribly pale strawberry blonde here. I rock the paleness. But I'd ask your doctor if I were you.

Another pale is better redhead here.

[Bluedaisy]

Also a pale redhead but only because they only make me look fake and orange. If it looks good on you I'd go for it.

Keep your mouth end eyes closed?

Whatever floats your boat but i dont bother with that sort of thing, pregnant or not

[turtletyme]

I was approved to do it by my dr (I use the St tropez at home mousse one) but I have been too lazy this whole winter to actually do it. I have a wedding next weekend so I might just cheat and hit the parts that show.

I was just thinking this same thing. I'm not a regular spray tanner but, I've definitely gotten them more than a handful of times over the past 8 years or so. I don't have any events coming up, but I'm thinking a little color might help me to be a little more accepting of all the other changes going on that I can't control.

I have read that at home self-tanners are fine. The only concern about spray tanning is breathing in the fumes.

[dmoney]

I plan on getting a spray tan for my bridal Shower (I know there will be pictures taken and I don't want to be pasty looking) However I plan on going to someone who uses a machine so it isnt a booth and there are less fumes then if you were in the booth. But if your doctor has given you the okay to go do it, then I say do it! It is cheaper then having someone spray you!

Another vote from the painfully pale here. I worked in a tanning salon in college that had the mystic booth and saw a few handfuls of pregnant women come out terribly! I would never do one now myself because I am soooo sweaty and would end up completely splotchy. I also saw pregnant women come out great!

[sgarmand]

After looking a little more into it, I don't think I'd be comfortable in a booth because of the fumes. However, I'm not getting this pregnant bod mostly naked for some stranger to spray me either. So I'll probably stick with an at-home option of some sort. I've heard St. Tropez is good so I'll probably try that!

I use million dollar tan brand products and love them for DIY. My mom has an airbrush machine at home and does it herself or has my step dad do it. The machine quickly paid for itself and wasn't super expensive. But she prefers being hand sprayed vs mystic so she isn't breathing in all the fumes like you do in a booth.
