  I'm so glad to hear this, as I've been addicted to tanners and bronzers for years. I even used them sometimes, and with a good deal of guilt b/c I hadn't heard anything like this, while pregnant. Some people say they know it's going to rain if they wash their car. Up until last week, I've never had a car nice enough to keep clean. Instead, I know it's going to rain if I put on a tanner. Dr. Weil distinguishes between tanners and bronzers, but in truth, most products are both. And if you, say, run after a bus in the rain after applying one, you look like, as my friend Serena told me yesterday, a leper.
urlLink DrWeil.com Question: Are Self-Tanners Dangerous? : "Self-tanners the lotions, sprays and gels that you apply for a sunless tan aren't dangerous. They contain a harmless, colorless sugar called dihydroxyacetone that interacts with amino acids in dead cells on the surface of the skin to give you a temporary tan. The effect lasts for only a few days because the skin naturally sheds the dead cells that have been colored. Except for rare cases of irritation and allergic reaction, the products are safe. "
