EXCLUSIVE Mom who was fiercely slammed for taking seven-year-old daughter to get spray tan claps back at haters
A mom who was fiercely slammed for letting her seven-year-old daughter get a spray tan has clapped back at the haters. Noel LaPalomento, from New Jersey, has become a viral social media sensation, wracking up millions of followers while documenting her day-to-day endeavors as a mother of two. She often shares videos of herself and her 'mini me' daughter, Giada, seven, partaking in various beauty trends together and trying out skincare products. But when the influencer posted a recent clip revealing that she was taking her daughter to get a spray tan, it sparked immense backlash. Now, she has responded to the criticism during an exclusive chat with the Daily Mail, and she insisted that it was a completely safe and fun activity for her daughter to partake in. 'It was safe and made her feel happy,' she explained. 'To me, it's not as deep as some people are making it. 'I know my child, I know my intentions, and I stand by my choice as her mom because there was nothing harmful or inappropriate about it.' She added, 'It's definitely not a crazy concept for people who grew up in the area I grew up in either.' In her now-viral TikTok, which has so far received more than 17 million views, Noel wrote in a text overlay, 'My seven-year-old wanted a spray tan so I booked us both an appointment.' Footage showed her and the youngster shaking hands as they mouthed along to the song Illegal by PinkPantheress. She then documented their trip to the tanning salon and uploaded it in another video. 'Come get a spray tan with us, Giada's going to get her first ever spray tan today,' she told her followers in the beginning. 'Mind your business,' she added, addressing the haters. 'It's just sugar and water.' A montage of clips then showed them entering the facility to get the spray tan and a worker spraying the product all over Giada's arms. But many of Noel's followers were unsettled by the youngster getting a spray tan, and the comment section of both videos were flooded with negative replies. Some people claimed it would give her 'self esteem issues,' while others encouraged her to do more kid-friendly things like play outside. 'Period. Start giving her self esteem issues at the age of seven,' one user sarcastically wrote. 'I didn't even know what a spray tan was at seven,' another added, along with crying emojis. 'Make her go outside if she wants a tan? She's seven. She doesn't need a spray tan,' urged someone else. 'Make her… go outside… go swimming...? Do KID things,' a fourth comment read. 'She does not need a spray tan. She's SEVEN,' said a fifth. 'Hell nah girl, she's seven,' scathed a different viewer. '"Seven" and "spray tan" in the same sentence is wild,' commented someone else. 'Or... you could just TAKE HER OUTSIDE,' another person wrote. More comments read, 'I'm so glad I had a childhood,' 'Is this illegal? It feels illegal,' 'She's seven... help her love her skin,' and, 'It's time parents started to treat their kids like KIDS and not their friends.' Some people claimed it would give her 'self esteem issues,' while others encouraged her to do more kid-friendly things like play outside While chatting with the Daily Mail, Noel explained that including her daughter in her social media content has always felt right. 'Back in 2020 I started posting outfit of the day videos, advice, and really anything that came to my mind - I was just being myself,' she explained of how she became a viral star. 'Slowly, this turned into me sharing my life as a mom as well, [and] people just fell in love with each of us and our dynamic together. 'Not sharing her felt unnatural. She's with me 24/7 and such a big part of who I am.' In recent months, many popular 'momfluencers' have decided to stop sharing their kids online out of concerns for their safety. Noel explained that she constantly 'thinks' about that, but insisted that she's 'careful with what she shares' to ensure her children are protected. 'I only share what feels respectful, appropriate, and in her best interest,' she added. In the end, she stands by her decisions and thinks there is no harm in exposing her young daughter to makeup, spray tans, and skincare products, regardless of what her haters might say. 'I don't think there's anything wrong with being creative and expressing yourself growing up,' she concluded.

And while some viewers thought it was adorable, with comments like 'Mum goals!' and 'This is exactly what I want to do with my future daughter', others were less than impressed. One wrote: 'Sorry but you're a bad mum. Let the child be a child.' Another snapped: 'Kids grow so fast nowadays – uhm idk, maybe because you let them? She's 7, she doesn't need a spray tan.' Others chimed in: 'I didn't even know what a spray tan was at seven.', arguing 'She should be tanning by playing out in the sun' and that "It shouldn't even be a subject at that age.' But Noel wasn't having any of it. She clapped back, posting a follow-up video declaring: 'She's just a girlllll!!!' and reminding critics that her daughter's confidence matters more than their opinions. Her TikTok bio reads 'Mind your business' – a pretty clear message to anyone judging her parenting. She even shared a behind-the-scenes clip of her daughter giggling as she got her tan sprayed on. I used tanning nasal sprays twice but they've left me with permanent skin damage, they made me feel dizzy & nauseous too - says former Miss GB Still, the backlash kept coming, with more parents commenting things like 'Please stop' and 'Why are we normalising this?' But some were quick to defend her, pointing out that a spray tan is a safer alternative to sunbathing, which exposes skin to dangerous UV rays. One supporter wrote: 'Spray tan better than getting a sun tan and skin cancer – I say go for it!' Experts warn that there's no such thing as a 'safe' tan from the sun and any darkening of the skin is actually a sign of cell damage, which can even lead to skin cancer. So a spray tan seems like a safer option. But the row taps into a wider debate on whether kids are growing up too fast. According to a study by the Department for Education, 88% of parents believe children are being pressured to mature too early – pointing fingers at celebrity culture, adult-style clothing, and social media. This mum isn't the first to come under fire for letting her child embrace beauty trends. One mum admitted she lets her six and seven-year-olds wear make-up and false nails, calling it 'harmless fun'. And in the US, 10-year-old Naiya White, who started wearing make-up at age three, now calls herself a 'Sephora kid', with a nine-step skincare routine, 200+ beauty products, and over £1.5k spent on cosmetics. Her mum, a former Ulta make-up artist, insists it's all about encouraging self-expression and looking after your skin. As for this spray-tan-loving mum, she's made it clear, she's raising her daughter her way, and the haters can kindly scroll on.

Why the 'Tanning Mitt Painting' trend isn't as good as it seems Painting door frames and banisters with a tanning mitt is a DIY trend everyone is obsessing over on social media. But Rebecca Miller, Fabulous' Associate Editor, and DIY-enthusiast reveals why you should put down the tanning mitt, and revert back to the old-fashioned paintbrushes and rollers for your next painting project. "A tanning mitt might be a cost-effective solution to painting your home, but it can't compete with a traditional paintbrush or roller. Tanning mitts offer a smooth, even application, but it doesn't compare to the professional and precise finish of a brush or roller. When it comes to painting detailed areas, like edges and corners, a paintbrush is the best tool for a job. Equally, if you are applying a new paint colour, you might need several coats of paint, and a tanning mitt can only provide very thin coats of paint - meaning you'd be spending more hours on the job! Painting brushes and rollers are also much easier to clean and are longer lasting. Tanning mitts usually need throwing out after one use which is neither good for the planet nor your wallet."
