(CBS News) Patricia Krentcil, who made headlines as the "tanning mom" who allegedly took her young daughter to a tanning booth, is now showing a new side of herself.
The Nutley, New Jersey mother, who is known for her heavy tan, is appearing in a YouTube series promoting skin care through author Dana Ramos' latest book, "The Skin Regime: Boot Camp for Beautiful Skin," CBS Station WCBS New York reported.
In an episode, titled "Tanning Mom gets a face peel," Krentcil appears reluctant when she is being given a tube of sunscreen.
"I'm not thrilled," said Krentcil. "But I'm going to do it because I'm 44 and I want my face to look more natural and this, if anything, will help that."
In the video, Krentcil's face is given a cleansing; later, she puts on moisturizer.
Earlier this year, Krentcil was accused of bringing her six-year-old daughter to a tanning booth where she was in a tanning bad, resulting in a little sunburn. Krentcil pleased not guilty in May to child endangerment charges after being arrested the previous month, and was released on $2,500 bond.

In August, Krentcil was at a drag show in a New York City night club and told the crowd: "I never took my daughter into a tanning salon," WCBS reported.
That same month, Krentcil appeared "In Touch" magazine without her tan after being challenged by the publication to go without a tan for a month.

- Just the fact that she is 44 and looks close to 70, a person would have to peel off her entire face and start over. The woman promoting the products obviously didn't think this one out.

- And I'm going online as an advocate of weight loss. I ought to know, as I'm about 40 lbs overweight. What I'm saying is that she should be the last person to give advice on anybody on skin health.
