Can you have a spray tan?

[Daffodill27]

Just that really can you have a spray tan when your pregnant? :)

I hope so, I had a couple

I did but my skin must have been sensitive due to the pregnancy hormones and it left me with a bumpy rash for a few days. Nice tan tho!

Yes I have had a few and checked with midwife before having them. All safe but your skin can react differently because of hormones x

Thank you :) x

Yes thank god! If I'm gonna be fat, I'd like to be brown and fat!

I'm a beauty therapist and yes spray tans are fine during pregnancy however I avoid doing them in ladies in the 1st trimester, not because it is harmful but because if a lady was to have a miscarriage at this time, then she would naturally be looking for 'reasons' and may well blame herself for having that spray tan so for this reason I wouldn't do them in the 1st 12 weeks.

As another poster said the hormones can make the skin react differently so that is something to watch out for.

Thank you so much :)
