Is It Okay to Mystic Tan While Pregnant?

sunless tanning is fine but I am not sure if mystic tan is sunless. Any over-the-counter sunless lotion or spray is fine according to my dr and everything i have read/heard!

My dr told me that sunless tanning was fine when I was pregnant, but I don't know if that included mystic tanning. I've heard all those same complaints about mystic. When I was pregnant, I used either Loreal or Neutrogena sunless tanning stuff from Wal Mart. It worked really well. Just make sure you wash your hands right after you finish (sometimes I stopped to rinse every so often). I never turned orange, and I never streaked, so I would recommend it.

Because Mystic Tan is so new, how could doctors be certain that it is safe to do while pregnant? My advice would be to avoid it and be on the safe side. Plus your skin is going through so many changes, you never know how it will react to a spray-on tan.

I think it would be safe. I actually found information that stated tanning beds are safe in moderation although I don't think I would be comfortable using them - better safe than sorry. You would obviously want to ask your doctor before you do anything though.

If your skin tone is already a bit darker you should be fine doing Mystic. I am fair skinned and did it once and it looked a bit orange on me. However, a friend of mine who is a bit darker naturally looked fantastic. It varies a lot from person to person.

You should call your Doctor and see how he/she feels about it. I would hate to take any chances. Or you could probably find something on the net about it. Good Luck!

I'm not sure if it would be worth it. You're hair is probably growing like crazy and so is your new skin, so even if you do tan, it'll slough off pretty quickly.

I did mistic tanning once and even though you arent sopost to breath (and I tried really hard not to) I still inhaled some. It also let me really streaky and orange looking. If I sweated it also kinda ran and stained my bras. I do the Jergens lotion with bronzer in it and its working well and its super cheap....not to mention it dosent really smell as bad as the other self tanners. It really moisturizes too!

Have you ever used mystic tan? I had a friend that was really disappointed in it because it was orangish and streaky.

Maybe there is a better sunless tanning cream or you could go have one applied.

I have no idea if the mystic tan, since you might inhale some of it, would be harmful. I definitely wouldn't do it until after your 25th week, when the baby is considered viable.

Good luck on your search!
