Knowing the tools for your beauty is important especially for women and Jennifer Garner beauty philosophy is all about staying true to who she is.
“I’m the happiest and most comfortable when I just look like myself,” says the 46-years-old star, who embraces a less is more approach to makeup.
For her, that means a few swipes of mascara and a bit of blush does the trick. “I’ll use [the latter] on my lids,” she says, adding, “that’s all I need. The less makeup I have to wear, and the more of my own skin that I can see, the happier I am.”
The one product Jennifer Garner does slather on is sunscreen. Having suffered sun damage as a kid, Garner sees the importance in shielding her skin.
“My parents were sailors, so when I was a young girl, my sisters spent most of the time on a boat. We would just burn and then peel it off and then burn again and peel it off.”
As a teen, Garner spent her summers indoors at theater camp “I’d be so pale my friends would call me ‘Casper’,” she recalls, signs of exposure would still show up decades later.
“I try everything I can to make sure anyone younger than me who knows: you’re going to want to protect your skin.”
And that experience was a call to action for her, especially her outdoor fans children, Violet, 13, Seraphina, 10 and Samuel, 7-years.
Her tips for a healthy complexion are simple. “Keep sunscreen everywhere, and always apply more than you think you need. You just have to be a nerd about it, and get it done!”
