I have not idea who she is unless it's Gwyneth Paltrow as another poster asked?

She's younger than I am. My skin doesn't look like hers & I have been swimming at the pool or beach almost daily since I was in 1st grade? I didn't use sunscreen like I should have either. When I did use it I used SPF 8 because you don't get Vit D from the sun when you wear a higher SPF. IMO we need sun it makes you feel better or it does me.

I think she does have color from the sun but IMO mostly her natural color being a blonde with freckles.

I agree @monicakm  I don't use sunscreen either and live in florida.  I stay the heck out of it at all times and am a cave dweller as well  and don't use sunscreen myself.  It could be in my Lancome powder foundation, not sure.  

 

Have you ever heard of "sunbrella"? I had one but lost it somehow. lol. 

 

I don't know if they photo shopped her to look bad intentionally but my chest, neck, etc other than my face which I'm working on is white as snow.  I've been in So flo since 5 years age, no chest wrinkles, etc.

Well, she is laying out in the sun, so I wouldn't think she would be wearing makeup.  Most people who do this, don't wear makeup and get all fixed up, right?

 

I imagine this is really her but is not the most flattering picture of her and I am surprised that she would allow this to be published!  I mean 50 is not old but she's not 20 any more either.  This sunbathing is catching up with her.  So many stars and people in the public eye state -- oh, we don't really sunbathe -- we use faux tan and get spray tans and all that, but I think a lot of them really do any way.  

 

She is not my favorite person at all.  I really like her mother and think she is really beautiful! I've always loved her hair, too!

@Pink123 I have a sunbrella! I feel kind of goofy when I’m walking my dog at the park because I assume people are wondering why I have an umbrella when it’s not raining, but it works great for offering protection! I used to wear large hats but they would give me the dreaded hat-head so I decided to get a sunbrella with UV protection. They’re not cheap but worth it to prevent Sun damage! Back in the day, women used parasols. Mine is just a silver/black so not as pretty but it does the job. I’ve seen different colors online but wasn’t sure if they were as effective as the darker colors.

Umbrellas, trees and hats give you shade but they don't prevent UV radiation reflected at you from the ground below and from objects around you. Still need to wear sunscreen.

Driving a car is bad, too. You get reflected UV radiation through all the windows from the cars around you, from the road surface and basically from anything  that you see the sun is shining on is reflected back to you.

Stay outa the sun

 

Don't smoke
