Jenna Bush Hager recently shared a humorous sunburn story, revealing her skin once “turned green” after sunbathing topless in Spain during high school. She recounted her experience on her talk show, mentioning that her skin peeled and possibly changed color, humorously adding, “The opposite of the color wheel!”

Her guest, actress Leslie Bibb, was surprised and asked if her skin peeled, to which Jenna confirmed, “Mm-hmm. And they may have turned green.” Bibb expressed disbelief, asking, “They turned green? Are you for real?” Jenna responded that the intense sunburn led her to conclude she’d avoid lying out in the sun again, due to years of sun damage.

She emphasized the importance of wearing sunscreen, especially when young, as a way to prevent similar damage. Jenna shared she now consciously avoids sunbathing to protect her skin, describing her current sunscreen habits while rubbing her arms.

On the same episode, Jenna debuted a new haircut— a short bob styled after a character from “The White Lotus.” She also shared family photos, admitting her children were less than thrilled with her drastic new look. Her daughter Poppy questioned her choice, asking, “Why would you do that?” while her other kids, Mila and Hal, expressed their disapproval.

Despite her children’s reactions, Jenna’s new hairstyle garnered positive feedback from viewers. She explained she was inspired by Bibb’s character in the TV series and encouraged followers to adopt sun safety routines early in life.

In addition to her sun safety message, Jenna reflected on her past sun damage and highlighted the importance of protective skincare, urging everyone to make sunscreen a daily habit to avoid painful burns and skin changes.
