Mother defends spray tanning two-year-old daughter for beauty pageants When I see Savannah on that stage, her confidence blossoming, it's worth every penny. I'm so proud of my tanned toddler. Ms Jackson, 26, from Michigan, USA, first entered Savanna into a 'natural pageant' - which allows little or no make-up and limited amounts of embellishments on the gown or dress - when she was just 10-months-old. To the delight of the family Savanna won, and she has been entered into pageants ever since. Within a year Ms Roberts, Savanna and grandmother Sherry were travelling up and down the USA competing in pageants. They soon realised that young contestants of Savanna's age were using spray tans and took the plunge themselves. Savanna now receives monthly spray tans before every competition while a professional make-up artist applies eyeliner, mascara, lipstick and neatens her delicate eyebrows. "There is a line but I strongly feel I've kept Savanna on the right side of it," she said. I'd never even consider surgery or Botox - she already wears more make-up than I do!
