Using A Self Tan Product During A 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.



For expectant women, there is the need to still feel beautiful and self tan product is a quick escape. With many available options in the market, it is important to consider the safety of both the mother as a direct user and the developing fetus.

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.



It is still not evident that they are harmful to the fetus, but they can harm the direct user. You must self tan product, because tanning booth, if used frequently can lead to complications which may spread to the placenta. This can be dangerous for both parties.

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.

A self tan product in the form of sprays or creams does not permeate the skin and reach the bloodstream of a person. It is therefore quite safe to use when pregnant. Keep in mind that the products do not act as a protection against the sun's UV rays, so if you are going out in the sun, be sure to apply a good sunscreen. Sunscreen will not take away your tanned look, and will not react negatively to the lotion.

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.

Credited to heightened hormonal activity within a woman's system, the smell produced by such self tan product can be overwhelming and those pregnant tend to stay away from using them. Also, hyper-sensitivity can lead to skin irritation when these products are used. A pregnant woman should use the self tan product on a discreet location of the skin a day before using it over her body.
