I have always been a firm believer in the “tanner the better”. Being tanned makes everyone look more toned, healthier and just all around sexier… especially naked! Since tanning beds and direct sun with no sunscreen is a big no-no, I went on a search for the ultimate fake tan. Now that I’m a mommy, I really don’t have the luxury of being able to run to the salon and get a perfect airbrush tanning. So a self tanner was my best choice and I’m going to share my secret for having the perfect bronze without that nasty orange look.
Most products I’ve used seem to need 4 applications before I get that perfect shade… and I HATE any self tanner that goes on white, and takes a day to brown up. I want instant gratification, like most women!
So my JennaFind for tanning is…. SUN Glisee’
You can find this at Sephora and most high end beauty supplies. They have many products in this line. Now, for the body they have an actual sponge roll on the bottle that gets my tan perfectly even, without screwing up the palms of my hands, although, if you need to blend after.. always use rubber gloves. Also, if you have an accident and get it caked on your ankle bones, use toothpaste to remove it!
For your face I recommend Faux Tan by Bare Escentuals – its stocked at Sephora also! I love this Tanner for the face, it seems to give me the beach bunny glow in one application. It doesn’t get cakey or blotchy even when you put makeup on directly after! This is fantastic for men also!
I recommend applying these products once a week, and it will give you a little extra bounce in your step…
Hope everyone loves it as much as I do!

Jenna – I was lucky enough to get a picture with you at UFC 103. Please take a look at the attached blog. Like you and Tito, my wife and I have twin baby boys. They are a little over 2 years old. God bless you and Tito for having young twin boys. You must have your hands full!
Thank you very much for taking the picture with me at UFC 103. I am one of your biggest fans.
Sincerely,
Jack

I am so totally “psyched” bout your bloggin’ concerning Mommy things, women glam & just being a girl “stuff”! The tan thing really hits home since reaching the 40 benchmark this year & the sudden attack of aging skin (it does hit overnight!). Also, being a single mother of 4 girls, I’ve suddenly realized the importance of a healthy lifestyle, plus, setting a positive example of responsible living for 4 sets of beautiful eyes watching my every move. Thanks so much for all your insight & helpful tidbits.
I am a huge fan-
-Luv Ya JJ
Best of Wishes!

I own a airbrush tanning company outside of Chicago. I also have 2 young babies and have no time to go and get airbrushed.(I suck at spraying myself) Your suggestions are AMAZING!! Love your blog!
September 30th, 2009 at 7:59 pm

Great idea!!! I love people that have the ability to shop for lots of different things and give feedback on them…so us regular gals don’t have the major expense of trying things and they don’t work. I wasn’t a big fan in the past but this blog you are doing I feel is a great thing! I can’t stand people that say they wake up in the morning looking perfect. UHHH and to know that you have to work at certain things to look a certain way assures the rest of us that there is hope!!! LOL. Will check back daily for updates!
Thanks!

Am totally loving this blog. I am going to get this from Sephora asap. Thanks XO

Love the blog Jenna! You always look stunning so getting beauty advice from you totally rocks. I’m a fair skinned, blonde hair/blue eyed lady and I always have trouble with self tanning products that look orange. Another one I’ve found that works well is the True Blue Spa Solar Power Air Brush Tan from Bath & Body Works. It sprays on really evenly and you don’t have to rub it in. Even more fun if you can get your man to help you

Have you never tanned in tanning beds before? I think I read in your book that you did? When you were younger that is.. Also, can you do a post on plastic surgery maybe? What have you done?
October 1st, 2009 at 11:34 am
Also, something you have to write about is hair extensions. You had short hair not too lang ago, and now you have long hair that looks completely natural.. What kind of extensions do you use?
October 2nd, 2009 at 10:25 am
Oooooooooo another awesome blog post!!! I’m all about a nice glow w/o damaging my skin! Another fabulous product for self tanning is Bliss. Which is found at Sephora! I’m going to try yours as well! Thanks hunni!!
October 2nd, 2009 at 12:07 pm
Thank you, Jenna! I’ve been meaning to search for a good self-tanner and I just found one. You’re the best!
October 2nd, 2009 at 4:53 pm
Jenna-first off I heart you! You have taught me many things and its thanks to you I am able to make my husband happy-so for this I am forever indebted to you! *wink*smile*ting*
Anyhow I have been all over the internet looking for the SUn Gisee’ you have told us all about……everywhere I go including the Sephora website they either say it is discontinued or they just dont sell it. HELP! I am dying to use this stuff and I hope that I can find someone that still sells it. Or mayby I am spelling it wrong-altho the pic matches yours. HELP me mama! love u XO-Dani
October 2nd, 2009 at 9:59 pm
That is good tanning advice b/c the sun with ageing and tanning beds age you too. Agree tan is sexy.
October 2nd, 2009 at 10:22 pm
Jenna,
Can you block on your favorite supplements, vitamins, and any cellulite products you may have heard about your like? Love you!!!! xxoo
October 3rd, 2009 at 12:31 pm
Hi Jenna,
I went to Sephora the other day to look for these tanning products and they did not have the Sun Glisse’. The did have the other one though. Do you know anywhere else they might have the Sun Glisse’? I tried to Google but found nothing. Thanks again. You look so amazing after having those twins.
October 6th, 2009 at 3:43 am
Hey Jenna,
I just tried a fake tan last night and was impressed with the results. It’s Famous Daves Moisture Tan, and it doesn’t smell, stain clothes, or turn you orange!

Go to Sun Labratories website. You can purchase it directly from their website. I just checked it.
October 11th, 2009 at 11:24 am
Is sad to find out that the SUN Glisee’n is discontinued. What else should I try, I haven’t been able to find a self tanner I like and refuse to fake and bake…HELP!

I can’t find the Sun Glisee on Sephora and also googled with no luck. Suggestions anyone?
December 6th, 2009 at 7:02 pm
To Everyone who would love to try the Sun Glisee product: We can’t find it because it was spelled wrong. Not everyone is perfect even though Jenna always looks perfect! She is one busy lady and anyone can make a typo…so for everyone that would love to use this product thanks to Jenna’s great blogs. It is spelled
SUN Giesee! Was so excited to finally find this product. Thanks Jenna!
