467126 tn?1283144858 Pregnancy and tanning is always a touchy subject. Some salon owners don’t allow it, while others think it’s completely fine—in fact, many female salon owners say they tanned throughout their own pregnancies. What I hadn’t heard before was a question regarding the safety of sunless tanning while pregnant.
Avatar m tn Hello, According to the American Academy of Dermatology, the most effective products available are sunless- or self-tanning lotions that contain dihydroxyacetone (DHA) as the active ingredient. Another popular form of sunless tanning is the bronzer. These powders and moisturizers, once applied, create a tan that can easily be removed with soap and water. More like make-up, these products tint or stain your skin only until they are washed off.
412873 tn?1329174455 Sunless tanning products may contain anywhere between 1 to 15 percent DHA; the higher the DHA level, the darker the tan produced. Manufacturers of sunless tan products claim that DHA is a simple carbohydrate sugar solution but a toxicologist who investigated the harmful effects of tanning beds disagrees. Even the FDA has not approved the use of DHA in spray tan booths. The FDA previously approved the use of DHA as an ingredient in tanning products but strictly for topical application only.

Pills containing the carotenoid, canthaxanthin, are banned from sale in the UK and the US. •Tanning injections, often called melanotan, that are sold online and in some tanning salons. Melanotan is unlicensed and has not been tested for safety or quality.
Avatar m tn no it is not harmful it is a must, but the quality and concentration of epa and dha must be very high at 2-3g daily (fish oil quantity is not useful check epa/dha), most products are scam with very low dha/epa so useless.
2102940 tn?1333643102 Hello, This looks like a superficial burn caused by tanning. Wash the areas several times with fresh water. Do not use any cosmetic products at the sites. You can apply some calamine lotion at the rash as it will help in soothing the skin. Also wear cotton undergarments. Application of mild corticosteroid cream and oral antiinflammatories like ibuprofen/acetaminophen are also helpful. If the symptoms are severe then it will be best to consult a doctor.
Avatar f tn Hey ladies have any of you gotten a Dr's advice on best source of omega 3 for baby's brain development? I was told that ground flaxseed is best but other literature says that fish oil is better as it has the DHA property. Any advice???
Avatar f tn Yes, today the spray on tanning products are so wonderful, there is almost no reason to use the traditional tanning beds. I liked them a long time ago but the health risk didn't seem worth it to me. I can get my vitamin D by supplement or sitting in front of a sunny window. good luck!
Avatar f tn I think 8 yrs ago when I had my 1st baby I had read about DHA in a prego mag. FYI check Ur face products too, some ingredients U can't use when prego. Salicylic acid, retina A, etc.
5049711 tn?1364572195 Depends where you go, definitely ask a doctor but I know that the one by me uses a product that's purely a DHA protein so I'm assuming its not bad but I'm gonna ask my doc too cuz I'm a pasty mofo, but you can go in a tanning bed, if you go 3 times a week for no longer then 8 min your fine ( depending on the bed), if stick with the lower beds that produce more UVB rays ( the burning rays) because they produce more vitamin d which is essential for the baby, the only danger factor
Avatar f tn and it really dosent matter but the ones i think are best are the ones that also contain DHA it helps for bbys brain development :)
Avatar f tn What are the best strollers to purchase or the best crib? I'm so out the loop haven't bought baby things since 1997. What are the absolute worst? What bottles are the best?
Avatar f tn I have a friend who does spray tans and uses Norvell products which are all natural she does tons of pregnant women.
Avatar m tn Levels used in therapy to lower blood triglycerides, also a risk factor for cardiovascular disease, are higher, about 2-4 grams of combined EPA and DHA per day. The OSU studies with mice used DHA at levels comparable to the triglyceride therapies. "DHA was more effective than EPA at attenuating inflammation, oxidative stress, fibrosis and hepatic damage," the researchers wrote in their conclusion.
Avatar f tn I take Jamieson Brand multi vitamin and djs supplement, plus extra folic acid. I have never had any issues with them. The pharmacist recommended to take them at night after.dinner just incase they hurt my stomach, that way I can sleeo through it and not be cranky all day I've heard materna is a good brand too. Congratulations on your pregnancy!
Avatar f tn Hello ladies im a new mom to be and was wondering if any of you could recommend the best prenatal brand or which ones you prefer...
Avatar f tn what are the best ones i cant really swallow big pills but i would rather them then the gummies if they r better and have more stuff that i need so any good brands???
Avatar f tn 00 and 16:00, is tanning still dangerous? Because i have heard that just tanning a little is already a negative reaction to the sun .. Also, are "tan enhacer" and "sun preparing" pills any use?
Avatar f tn I am almost 50 years old, have dry skin, brown spots on my face from early years using tanning beds and the sun and am showing little wrinkles between the brows, smile line and crows feet by the eyes. I did go to a Aesthetician for some regiment to use on my face since I have really never used skin care products. The product that was recommended for my face and the issues I mentioned was Obagi System by NU-Derm.
Avatar n tn Are you male or female I ask that because I know that makeup base has sunscreen in it, so take that off and put a low sunscreen on your face .it should tan through it, look at the tanning products out there it should tell you .
1276890 tn?1271027818 I became vegan about a month ago and I have come to realize that now that my stomach has not been using enzymes to break down meat, dairy products, and some fats, I might have lost these enzymes. I am afraid that I should incorporate some fish and some good fats in my diet because not eating any will take a toll on my body. But everyone has a different opinion on what fats are really good.
Avatar m tn The other day I went tanning, completely nude on a high intensity bed. I had previously went to Florida so I had some what of a tan on my upper and lower body and I wanted to keep it going (obviously my waist/knee area was covered). In the course of tanning, I decided to put my boxers on with 8 minutes left.
Avatar n tn I went to a walk in clinic where the dr diagnosed me with Pityriasis rosea and told me to wait it out and it will go away, maybe some sun or the tanning bed would help. The hearald patch was seen on my stomach and traveled. After 2 more weeks, the spots traveled up my neck and on my face, became itchy and with the tanning, the spots stayed white while i was tan. I was then diagnosed with tinea veriscolor and told to use antifungal cream and use head and shoulders.
