I'm 7 weeks pregnant. Is it safe for me to use self-tanners on my arms/legs? Please provide references.?

Question

I have Aveeno Moisturizing Lotion with natural soy and gradual color enhancer. I'd really love to have some color for the summer, but I'm not sure if this will harm my fetus. Please provide references if possible. Also, please tell me if my self-tanner is okay, or if there's something better recommended? (Any ingredients to stay away from?)

Answer 1

I asked my doc the same thing because i had to be in a wedding(in a horrible yellow dress) when I was 8 months pregnant. She told me the tan in a bottle was fine, just stay out of the sun and tanning beds~ hope this helps!

Answer 2

Answer 4

Although, sun is always best and perfectly safe while pregnant. There are no self tanners that are dangerous. It's just lotion with a little bit of color. Here's a link to a source.
