I am 24 weeks pregnant and I spray tan ladies on a regular basis. Is this ok? I don't wear a mask as I always forget and they annoy me. Are the fumes bad for you? I use sienna x. It won't harm baby will it? xxx
Nobody knows whether its safe or not.Tan solution has only been passed as safe for topical use and not inhalation.There are all sorts of chemicals in it not just DHA.
It probably has done your baby no harm at all but the fact you are asking shows you have concerns.
I think everyone should wear a mask and use extractors if they are doing lots of tans pregnant or not.
Hi,
The recent articles in the Daily Newspapers have all highlighted there may be a risk to health from Spray Tanning. They were not exactly scaremongering but did little to point out that the risk was deemed to be from inhalation of Spray Tanning Solution and not the application on the skin. We, at Ambermist, have always advocated that proper extraction and ventilation is necessary not only for the cleanliness of your room but the health of both the client and the therapist. Everyone who has been spray tanning without extraction, masks or nose filters and blows their nose afterwards will know what they have probably inhaled. We were the first company to introduce extractors specifically designed for spray tanning in the UK in 2005. We now have washable nose filters that are easy to use and stop the inhalation of the tan for those that don't like the "Homer Simpson" look that you can get with a mask.
Everyone should avoid the inhalation of Spray Tan Solution whatever the make, where ever possible, especially when pregnant! Companies that promote their solutions as being "heavier than other solutions so no extraction is needed" are being naive at best. Asbestosis was not discovered as a killer until many years after the event!

Hi,
It is perfectly obvious that we are not making a "comparison between Asbestos and Dha", we are simply pointing out that the dangers of Asbestos were not revealed for many years. We have never heard the term "sniffit's" for any product but as our nose filters do not restrict airflow and remove 97% of particles, 7 microns, (invisible to the naked eye) and above, they are highly effective. They are certainly better than nothing which is what a lot of therapists use. Obviously it would be better to have no overspray at all. but that, is impossible.

Hi,
Whilst we would agree that any "reduction in airbourne particles" would be a good thing, the topic of this thread is "24 weeks pregnant and I spray tan ladies on a regular basis. Is this ok? Are the fumes bad for you?"
Whilst Tantrick may have perfected the art of spray tanning they will not have eliminated overspray in the air. The answer to the question, in our opinion, is not to spray whilst pregnant without taking proper precautions, mask, nose filters, extraction etc, car airbags have nothing to do with it!

Hi
We fail to see that the comment "and how we, at Tantrick, have taught for many years now" is "non brand specific again" or what the "weather" while driving a car has to do with anything!

Hi,
We do not recall making any "off topic" comments only replying to yours, sniffits, cars, airbags etc. We are not the only company that supplies these products but you, obviously, do not.
