Jennifer explained that, before arriving in Hawaii to shoot the show, she got a spray tan to avoid looking “like a big, white marshmallow” during the beach scenes.

“I got on the plane and I started to feel really weird,” she recalled. “By the time I got off the flight, I had to go to the emergency room.”

The experience led Jennifer to believe that she developed an allergic reaction to certain types of makeup in recent years.

“I think we ended up using regular makeup,” she said while talking about the rest of the shoot. “The minute we stopped filming, I would shower. I have such a quick reaction to stuff.”

“I was never someone who cared very much about ingredients,” Jennifer also said. “Then, I’d say the last five or six years, I started getting allergic.”

“My eyes would always be tearing up, but it never occurred to me that it was my makeup.”

All in all, Jennifer’s experience is a good reminder that if a product you’re using might be giving you an allergic reaction, it’s worth trying something else instead.
