Jenna Bush Hager reveals topless sunbathing once left her chest green dermatologist reveals why

Here’s another reason to slather on some SPF this summer — especially if you’re planning to bare it all.Jenna Bush Hager revealed this week that a trip to a topless beach in Spain during high school left her so scorched, her chest turned green.“If you get burned, it’s not pretty,” the 43-year-old “Today With Jenna & Friends” co-host told actress Leslie Bibb on Tuesday’s episode.When Bibb, 51, asked if her chest peeled, Bush Hager nodded — but then took things in a bizarre turn.“They may have turned green,” the TV personality said.
