I would have thought so but I am no expert. It is not permenant tan is it & will wash off in a few days. I did a self tan on Friday for a wedding and I am 13wks, never even thought to check to be honest.

I was having this dilemma too! Read on the Internet (worst thing to do!) that's its probably best to avoid spray tans due to inhaling the mist and better to apply the tan direct to the skin. Im 28 weeks so I'm now using the palmers coco butter with gradual tan to be on the safe side so I'm not so pale which also helps the stretch marks! Hope that helps! ;o) x x

No. You can use any fake tan products when your pregnant. The chemicals seep into your skin and harm your baby.. There was a big thing announced about it in 2011 I think ... It's horrible being pale but it's worth it... I'm 38 weeks and sooooo looking forward to getting the tan back on! Xx

I asked the midwife at the hospital yesterday and she said tht spray tans are fine, as that's all they do is go on ur skin, they don't go into ur blood stream or anything like that and it washes off in a few days, she said obviously sunbeds are not advisable wen ur not pregnant let alone wen pregnant but she said as the spray tan only hits ur skin then its not an issue.
