tanning isn't a good idea when pregnant. some salons will refuse you, some will advise against it.

use a tinted moisturiser that builds up a gentle color with no uv rays and no chemicals instead.

I use them but so far I've only used the bath and body brand. I like the foam the best because it dries fast but their lotions don't take too long. They kinda smelly funny though so I do it at night!

i dont' use self tanners, i've always been a sun girl....being the winter i can see how that wouldn't work. lol

but the self tanners turn me orange....so i can't help you with this.

lol. yea I'm scared of going orange! I'm pretty pale so I'd have to get something light.
I think I'll take Kia's advice, a moisturiser probably won't make it as icky as a full on tan in a bottle.
Thanks ladies.

thats the whole reason i avoid self tanners because of that orange affect, im pale as i dunno what haha the dr asked at my post partum checkup if i was feeling ok becauase i looked really pale i was about to tell her i only look so pale cuz i dont leave my house haha. i cant wait till it warms up so i wont look like a ghost haha i think my kids are even darker then i am

at walmart in the lotion section they have some to make you darker. some for dark skin and some for light. i cant remember the name.

i know what stuff ur talking about chase , i remmeber seeing it when i worked at walgreens but its been so long icant remember what its called either. usually the medium one or whatever was always sold out at my work. grr i wish i knwe the name i can almost picture the bottle of it lol

last year i bought a brand new mini skirt.. and my legs were white, so i went to walmart and got some spray tanning stuff and it was supposed to be "sooo good" and so i came home and did it, went to bed about an hour after and woke up in the morning and i was *orange*

i still wore the skirt the next day haha i was excited but i felt retarded!!

anyway, my boyfriends sister went to a salon and they spray you with the tanning stuff... it's kind of expensive, like 23 dollars and it lasts for a week but she said it works really good. she woke up in the morning after she had it done and was orange and freaked out, but she took a shower and all the orange crap went away, so maybe that?

it is kind of expensive though

id be iffy about that too the spray tan because of the fumes u might breathe in during it. those i think would be kewl, ive never used self tanners or been to a tanning salon ever in my life.

I should clairfy the lation I get from bath and body is gradual. I started buying it there because I wanted higher quality and assurance I wouldn't turn orange.

the mystic tan (spray on one from tanning salons) is actually suppose to be okay for pregnant woman to get. My sister went around asking all the salons and her doctor because she got one done from my wedding a while back. But to be honest I wasnt a big fan of it. I still felt streaky which is my biggest issue.. Its March!! WOOOhoo not to much longer until the suns out!!

theres this one that i had reallllllllllly good experiences with.. its a sunless tanner that has two parts side by side...

ummm...

yeah.. .Coppertone .Endless .Summer .Sunless .Tanning .Lotion

.A.W.E.S.O.M.E!!!!!! no orange just a nice tan.
