Did you know that using self-tanning during pregnancy is possible and is not harmful to you or your baby? Using tanning is always better than being in the full sun! Do you plan to go tanning anyway? Then it is very important to apply SPF. Wondering why? We'll explain it to you!
There are no contraindications for pregnant women or babies. Our tanning products contain natural & nourishing ingredients and can be used by anyone, regardless of skin type or skin tone. The ingredients react only to the top layer of skin, which provides natural skin discoloration. Because of this, our products cannot harm mother and baby and you create a beautiful complexion in a safe way!
As a pregnant woman, it is extra important to use SPF. You are more sensitive to UV radiation because your skin is thinner and also stretches during pregnancy, especially near the belly. This can cause you to burn faster, but UV radiation can also cause subcutaneous damage. In addition, there is a high risk of melasma...
Melasma is a form of hyperpigmentation and are dark brown spots that can occur due to hormone changes. Around the 4th month of your pregnancy, it is possible for you to develop the Melasma. During your pregnancy, the hormones estrogen and progesterone increase the production of pigment in the cells of your face. The spots serve as a kind of natural protection against harmful uv-radiation, to protect the underlying tissue. So the "mask of pregnancy" actually has a very useful function. It has no medical consequences, but it is understandable that you would prefer to avoid it.
Protect your skin every day with a high sun protection factor of at least 30 (yes, even when you're in the shade!) and keep applying sunscreen throughout the day. Do this preferably every 2 hours. Avoid overexposure to the sun and also pay attention to the sun's intensity when it is at its strongest; between 12 and 3 in the afternoon!
Use our Crème Solaire Bronze SPF30 for optimal protection and hydration of your skin. The cream contains Hyaluronic Acid SLMW: it improves skin texture, stimulates collagen formation, reduces sunlight dehydration and acts as a superior moisturizer! And even better: the cream contains a beautiful complexion with radiant finish. So you face the day not only protected but also colored.
And as a finishing touch, use our Sunstick SPF50. Apply it to sensitive skin areas such as the nose, eye contour, forehead, scars and dark spots. This way you are absolutely assured of extra protected skin!
You can confidently use our self-tan products during your pregnancy. So even if you are pregnant, you can still enjoy a bronzed tan. Remember that it is always important to protect your skin with a high SPF, especially during pregnancy.
