spray tan lands ‘the white lotus’ star jennifer coolidge in er

jennifer coolidge won her first emmy for her role as the wealthy and unstable tanya mcquoid in the hit hbo series ‘the white lotus’,  but her victory didn’t come without some challenges, popculture reports.

“for ‘the white lotus,’ i didn’t want to look like a big, white marshmallow on the beach in hawaii, so i got a spray tan,” coolidge told allure magazine . “i got on the plane and i started to feel really weird. by the time i got off the flight, i had to go to the emergency room.”

even the production crew changed her onscreen makeup routine from heavier products typically used for camera work to “regular makeup” instead. the best in show star says she would also shower as soon as filming stopped to avoid having any possible reaction.

lesson learned, it’s always a good practice to try a test patch of a new product on your skin before liberal application — especially when it comes to covering your entire body. and while there aren’t any details about the symptoms coolidge experienced, according to the dermatology nurses’ association (dna) , signs that you are allergic to the ingredients in self-tanning products include rashes, dizziness, coughing and fainting.

mounting research about harmful chemicals

a scientific review of the literature, published in the journal of the dermatology nurses’ association in 2018 , found that the chemical dihydroxyacetone (dha), which is the active agent in most sunless tanning lotions, may cause skin irritation and possible cell damage.
