Transcript

Was on Dancing with the Stars for fourteen years, and we tanned religiously. When I say ballroom dancers no self tanner, I mean it. Trust me. We've been doing it for years and years and years. But I could not find a self tanner that looked good underneath the lights with all the bright costumes. Plus, the next day, when I was walking out into broad daylight with my friends getting a coffee or taking my kids to school, it wouldn't look the same. I would be orange, smelly, scaly even. So I took all of my experience in self tanning and spent eight years perfecting these amazing formulas in Peter Jane Beauty. I wanted to create something better. I didn't want you guys to go through what I had gone through for literally the past twenty years. You will never be owned. You will have the most natural looking, beautiful, golden, rank kissed color that you can imagine. They dry fast. It won't transfer once you've had your first shower. It won't sweat off. So if you're looking for a self tanner that actually works, try Better Jane Beauty.
