Tanning when Pregnant....

[SmileNails]

Hey geeks!
this ones for all the tanners out there - im pregnant and no matter what tan i use - and i tend to use the darkest - the colour doesnt seem to take to me! I get a very light tan and then it goes within a coupla days! i reapply daily to try get a deeper tan which lasts longer but doesnt make much difference. my arms sometimes take quite well but my neck always looks really pale!!

Why is this? Is it hormonal? Its driving me mad coz i LOVE my fake tan and wont be without it!!!!

Thanx in advance!!!

Hiya - Pregnancy will cause patchiness with tan as skin tends to get a bit drier during pregnancy but it's strange that its taking to certain areas and not others. The patchiness on dry skin is because the tan will stick to drier areas more and make those areas darker. Are you using a spray tan or a cream/gel?? What brand are you using and do you have someone to apply or do you do it yourself?

i use Xen tan and also Vita liberata from Boots - so they not cheap ones!!! Both are creams, but sometimes i do use Xen tan mousse. Its not that my skins dry as its not blotchy - its just not developing! I apply myself as just do it myself at home - well hubby does my back!!!

I hate bein pale - lol - so think im guna get a spray tan done professionally to see if it makes a difference!

It's possible it could be hormonal...you're not on any medication or anything? Try a spray tan professionally and see if that works. It might be that they don't work for you and that you need to have professional spray tans instead
