If you are pregnant, there are things you should know about pregnancy and tanning booths. Tanning beds safety while pregnant has become very questionable. A better choice might be to use
sunless tanning spray booth equipment to keep your golden tan.Initially it was believed that
use of a tanning bed after
first trimester was okay. During
first trimester
concern was about overheating yourself and
baby. However, in
past few years health officials are taking a harder stance and are encouraging pregnant women to not use
tanning bed at all.
You’re pregnant, feeling a little less attractive than you normally would. Well you shouldn’t! Pregnant women look beautiful with a glow that cannot be achieved any other way.
However, if you are a little down and missing that sun-kissed skin of previous years,
safest tan you can achieve is from a bottle or a booth. The ingredients in self tanners are harmless to you and your baby. So you can get that golden tan without worrying about hurting your baby.
Not only are sunless tanners safe, they’ve come a long way in
past few years. No more orange skin or weird uneven finishes. You can choose from spray, lotions, or mousse. Apply evenly and within a few hours you’ll be golden gorgeous!
Although there is no conclusive evidence that a tanning bed will harm your baby, there is plenty of proof that it’s harmful to you. So if its harmful to you it only makes sense it could be harmful to your baby. So error on
side of caution and don’t do anything to harm your baby.
Tanning beds have been directly linked to skin cancer. So if you can increase your risk of skin cancer, doctors are becoming concerned that you may also increase your baby’s risk.
One very big concern with direct implications to your baby is “heat”. Lying in a tanning bed raises your body temperature. The increase in body temperature can be hazardous, even deadly to your baby. Studies have shown
first trimester to be
period of highest risk. However, many doctors believe that risk continues throughout
pregnancy.
