Self Tanners and Breast Feeding...

[wendymin72]

If I don't use the product on my breasts, does anyone know of any reason it would be unsafe to use a product like this while breast feeding?

Good question. Actually this week I was wondering if self tanners are okay to use it you are pregnant. Hopefully someone can shed some light on our questions.

I'm not sure about self tanners, but I had to give my sister in law a half full tube of Stri-Vectin when I read the fine print that said "not for use by pregnant or lactating women." Is this the crying emoticon?: ;( That stuff is amazing, and I miss it.

Here's the answer to your question. I found it on babycenter. I think it's probably the same for breast feeding but I'm gonna keep looking anyway....


Question: Is it safe to use self-tanning lotions or tanning beds during pregnancy?

Answer: If you're not feeling attractive during your pregnancy, the look of sun-kissed skin that a self-tanner provides can do wonders for your self-esteem. The good news is that the ingredients in self-tanners are harmless, so it's fine to use them during pregnancy. These lotions and sprays are basically dyes that stay on the surface of your skin and won't harm your developing baby. Best of all, self-tanners have improved dramatically during the last few years, so you don't have to worry about looking like an extra from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.

Thanks Wendy! I have a wedding I need to go to in May and would like to have some kind of tan without basking in the sun.
