Can You Fake Tan When You're Pregnant?

How to get a golden glow when you're expecting
Can You Fake Tan When You're Pregnant?

They say you really glow when you're pregnant, but what if you want it to be a golden glow?

It's natural to be extra cautious when you're a mummy-to-be. Changes in your normal routine and the list of do's and dont's are growing faster than your bump. But just because you're pregnant doesn't mean you can't have a perfect tan too. 

Using a lotion or mousse form of self tanner is the best way to stay golden from trimester one to bubs birthday. The active ingredient in fake tanners is DHA (Dihydroxyacetone) which is a sugar-based compound that reacts with the top layers of your skin to change the colour of it. It doesn't penetrate past these skin layers, meaning no product absorption into your bloodstream.

Fake tanning when you are pregnant

A lotion or mousse formula is recommended, spray formulas should be avoided to prevent the inhalation of DHA. Our Self Tanning Mousse is made of 100% natural DHA, making it the safest option for pregnant BB babes who want a bronzed fake tan at every stage of their pregnancy. 

During pregnancy, your body is going through rapid change, including changes to your hormones. These changes can leave your skin more sensitive, so it's important to spot test prior to use, even if it is a holy grail product you've used well before pregnancy. Our Self Tanning Mousse is made of skin loving ingredients that are gentle enough to apply to your whole body, best of all there is no fake tan smell to overwhelm you and have you running for the nearest bucket.

Fake Tanning when you are pregnant

Choosing a self tanner that's easy to apply is a must. You have to maneuver around your bump (hello toes, do you still exist?). Using our Self Tanning Mousse paired with our Luxe Tanning Mitt will ensure you reach every angle with a streak-free result every time.

Every BB babe is different, so it's important to always check with your doctor prior to application. Want to know how to faux a pregnancy glow? click here to find out how with BB babe Sivan Ayla.
