Tips On Using A Self Tan Product All Through Pregnancy

By Haywood Hunter


A self tan product is often used by ladies, and by men as well, to create a natural-looking tan without the need to suntan. The products are useful to someone who is worried about the damaging effects of the sun's UV rays. This worry is not unfounded, as it has been proven that the sun can dehydrate the skin, cause wrinkles and dark spots, and can even cause skin cancer. A good result can be achieved with a self tan product.



Ladies, but especially pregnant ladies, have a desire to look attractive. Dermatologists have agreed that a self tan product is alright to use during pregnancy, but caution is still advised. In general, the lotions and sprays are just a skin dye that do not actually enter the bloodstream of the person.

Dermatologists have proven that the use of self tan product is harmless during pregnancy as they are basically dyes on the skin surface. Of all the products available today, tanning beds have had considerable discussions as they work the same way as the sun, emitting similar UV rays with the same effects of long durations of exposure.



Sunbeds have not been found to be damaging to a unborn child. The mother should still be careful though, as if they are used too often there could be a variety of health problems that are caused that could end up affecting the placenta. If this happens, there will be an effect on the unborn child. A self tan product, however, will not be damaging to the health of the mother or baby.

Use a self tan product, considering the increased temperatures experienced when using a tanning bed. The tanning bed may be hazardous to the baby especially in the early stages. This is the same case as using a sauna, or hot tub during pregnancy. Lying on the back for long durations is also another point to note. This position restricts blood flow to the heart and the baby as well.

Self tan product use has still been considered a safer way for pregnant women to get a skin glow if one chooses to use sprays and self tanning lotions. These are considered safe for use on the skin and since they do not protect against UV rays, sun screen can also be use hand in hand with such products. Sprays and lotions only stain the skin and cannot be absorbed into the body and can therefore be washed away after they serve their purpose.

With all this said, however, the self tan product does contain the substance referred to as DHA, or dihydroxyacetone. Chemicals such as these are better to avoid altogether when in the first trimester of pregnancy. This is the ingredient that causes the skin to change color.

When a woman is pregnant, she reacts differently to many things. This may be the case with the odor of the self tan product. To a pregnant lady it may be overwhelming. Her skin may also be more sensitive than usual, and then it is best to avoid the use of skin creams. When applying self tan product, it's recommended for her to first test the cream on a hidden part of her body.
