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.

A scientist I worked w/ said the secret to good skin is three things:

Stay outa the sun

Don't smoke

Look at your ancestors-how is their skin?

Does this mean all the goop and supergoop doesn't work?

I would say this photo is not photo shopped like another poster said at all.  I saw the one from google feed and she is on vacation with husband and children laying in the sun and all that.  

As for her products...I admit I know nothing about them but I doubt she is using any kind of SPF.  

I had a close friend who still tanned very heavily into her 50's but you would never know it after summer everything faded.  I never saw any sun damage.  Perhaps she is like this too?  She does look weathered in this selfie...and I see those "white" spot areas that don't tan?  I have some of these...not sure what causes it BUT I am never out tanning in the sun LOL!  I can't tan....I BURN

Those white spots is a form of hypopigmentation thought to be caused by sun exposure. They usually don't appear where your skin has not been in the sun. The condition is called idiopathic guttate hypomelanosis. Why it occurs is unknown but it's nothing serious or malignant.

Thanks @Natureluvr  I'm ordering  another sunbrella and I know it's funny looking but I dont care, lol.   Where we live there was a young man walking his baby in a stroller.  He was walking with an umbrella.  He was very handsome too and did not care.  I gave him a "thumbs up" ha.

Check check and check. At least I'm doing something right.

Wow, Goop sunscreen is so expensive! I use Banana Boat Sport Ultra SPF 30 and I never get sunburnt while using it.  Gwenyth is a pretty lady, with or without a tan.  I think that even the smallest amount of sun damage is inescapable.  Wrinkles happen, sun spots happen, hyperpigmentation can happen- I think it adds character and shows a life full of enjoyment of the sun.  I'd rather see celebs with sun damage, fine lines, undone hair etc than instagram posts from celebs that are airbrushed to look perfect.

Ok all I just ordered one from Amazon by a company called "Cuby".

It get's good ratings.  Read some of the reviews and one said it was cooler under the umbrella.  It was only 17.99.  I'll have it by tomorrow evening or Monday.  

I picked a small print and thought it was cute.  It's not the sunbrella company but I'll give this a try.  Hope it's a good dupe.

So what if I look like a nerd.  After seeing that young guy it's  no problemm Ps. one reviewer said it smelled bad and had to air it out.  Other's did not.  We shall see and can always return.

here's pics:

Your sunbrella won't keep away the UV reflecting up at you from the ground or from reflected UV coming off of abjects around you. You still need to wear sunscreen. Sunbrella is good for only half the problem.
