Spray Tan when pregnant
Whats the "info" about having a spray tan whilst pregnant - does anyone know?
Ive literally just found out today that I am pregnant (1-2 weeks!) and I get married in 5 weeks. We are trying but didnt think the first month it would happen. But we are glad it has. As all brides love to be beautiful for their day I will need some form of tan .... is it just that the tan can blotch or whats the score with it!
Thanks

When pregnant your body will change a lot and this can also mean that you will react to chemicals that you may have not done before. You may get a decent tan or you may get a rash.

I'm a beautician and do spray tans. they now advise to wait till after the first 3 months.
if you get a spray tan make sure the room is well ventilated and most therapists will supply a mask if your worried and you can take it off at the end before your face is sprayed
i tanned myself through both pregnancies. with both the tans turned out perfect but with my 2nd i found the cubital area (opposite side from elbow) turned itchy and my stomach went slightly blotchy/ithcy. the tan still turned out fine but just in the develping stage i noticed this
i would advise a trial beforehand. if you get the same with the stomach you can always avoid that area for the wedding
