Beauty treatments in first trimester

6+2 today, would love to tint my eyebrows and fake tan and feel a bit more like β€˜me’ again but I’m worried about all the chemicals πŸ˜• just wondering what everyone else did that is normally a slave to treatments πŸ˜‚ xx

I didn’t use any dye until the second trimester after doing lots of research. Spray tans are a no no due to the chemicals that can be inhaled. Mousse or creams are fine though.

Where do you think the chemicals are going? How do you think eyebrow dye is going to reach a foetus?

If you're worried about it don't do it. You don't want to be worrying about it.

Guess I’m just worrying about things being absorbed into the blood stream!

Wouldn't that be a rather large problem for you then without being pregnant? If all the chemicals you put on your skin were absorbed wholesale into your blood stream?

I didn't think you could have treatments in the first trimester anyway. Everyone seems to be obsessed with being sued in the vanishingly unlikely event a foetus is harmed so won't touch pregnant women. I think you can have a hair cut and that's about it.

(oh you were going to do it yourself - oh well up to you)
