Fake tan during pregnancy

So I’m 8 weeks pregnant today and here in the UK we’ve finally got some kind of summer happening. So yesterday I was wearing shorts and was horrified by how ghostly my legs and arms looked compared to my face! I couldn’t get any paler if I tried! So basically the only quick way to give them any colour is to apply some fake tan but then it dawned on me, is fake tan ok to apply during pregnancy?? I have a mousse which is quick drying. Anyone else use fake tan during pregnancy?

I am! Doesn’t half make you feel better about yourself.

I fake tanned myself and my bump last night. In my first I didn’t because I was worried but this time round I’m a lot more relaxed. My legs were so pasty. I’m now a nice shade of orangey brown and feel human again. Even if my bump needs a bottle of its own! X
