Jessica Simpson Finally Sets the Record Straight on Her Alleged $1,000-a-Week Tanning Habit

Jessica Simpson has dismissed claims that she spends a fortune to achieve her flawless tan.

In a recent interview with Elle published on Thursday, April 2, the 45-year-old singer addressed longstanding rumors suggesting she spends $1,000 weekly to maintain her bronzed complexion. Simpson chuckled at the notion, saying, “$1,000? Really? I’d much rather soak up the sun naturally.”

She further elaborated, suggesting that such a budget might be more fitting for a vacation, which she sees as the perfect chance to achieve a “healthy” tan. “I love lounging with my friends, and we rotate like rotisserie chickens,” Simpson quipped, mentioning that they also take turns applying sunscreen to each other.

As a proud native Texan, Simpson admitted she has always been a “sun lover.”

On another note, Jessica Simpson is already embracing bikini season. The 42-year-old recently took to Instagram on Tuesday, April 25, to flaunt her toned physique in a striking swimsuit from Kim Kardashian’s Skims line. The vibrant green ensemble featured a triangle top paired with daring string bottoms, creating a sultry look.

“My birthday is in July and every birthday party I had was in the pool. My buns were always tan,” she said of her famous curves. “I don’t remember wearing much sunscreen. I remember accelerator, Sun-In, and lemon juice for blonder hair. I had really great moments of worshiping the sun,” Simpson added.

Now, she protects herself from the sun’s harmful rays. “But I definitely love a good tan,” she clarified.

Back in 2005, Simpson felt her most “confident” when she had some color. “When I was playing Daisy Duke in The Dukes of Hazzard, I had to be tan and that was a four-month shoot where I was damn near naked the whole time.”

“But I also didn’t want it to be too orange, so I had to have a base tan,” she explained. “It was all thought out. I used to be the type of person that would put an SPF 15 on my stomach, but I would put an SPF 50 on my knees because I didn’t want them to wrinkle. I would do that math in my head.”
