Hi... I currently use Garnier gradual fake tan... I just want to double check that this is ok to us during pregnancy?

Thanks Smile

Of course it is, why on earth wouldn't it be?

I'm afraid I don't know what the official advice is but I understand why you are asking. I haven't used any while pg as I've tried broadly to avoid putting too many chemicals on/in my body "just in case". I have drawn the line though at things I personally feel are low risk or I really can't go without (for me: deodorant and toenail varnish). I guess if you can't find any specific guidance it comes down to your personal risk:benefit analysis. Sorry not to be more helpful.

It's absolutely fine as nothing is absorbed into the skin........ www.nhs.uk/chq/pages/955.aspx?categoryid=54&subcategoryid=131
