Jennifer Garner Swears by This $11 Drugstore Face Mist For Glowy, Protected Skin
ICYMI, actress Jennifer Garner is an inspiration to us all. Not only is she absolutely beautiful on the outside (obviously!), but she's also pretty much the most genuine person IRL. I always knew she was about spreading good vibes and keeping things real with her 9.5 million (!) Instagram followers. But after speaking to Jennifer on the phone, I learned just how she gains the confidence to live her life without a filter. Intrigued? Keep reading.
'I don’t know that I’m necessarily confident in my own skin,' Jennifer explains. 'It’s more that I’m scared of only liking myself when I look a certain way. I think that it’s super important that we all stay very closely related to who we are when we haven’t had time to get ready. When we have clean, ‘sunscreen-ed’ skin and that’s it. That's mostly what’s up on my Instagram because if I’m shooting a video or posting a picture, that’s how I actually look at home. If I stop and try to get myself camera ready, then I wouldn’t have time to get things done.'
Jennifer knows that there's a sense of spontaneity to her feed, and unlike many celebs or influencers who treat Instagram like a highlight reel, she likes the relatability of her page. 'I don’t really do it to be a model for anything. But, people with children thank me for it, especially people who are so glad that their daughters can see a version of a woman who is not afraid to look like herself.'
And now that you and I know how Jennifer keeps herself glowing from within, she also gave me the deets about the beauty rituals that make her feel good, too. These are the six skincare products that make her shine from the inside out. Take notes!
She Washes Her Face Religiously
'Since my sisters and I always used it when we were teenagers, I’m a big fan of the Neutrogena Amber Beauty Bar. I love the smell of it. It’s super nostalgic for me. I love how clean it feels on your skin. It’s what I have my daughters use. It’s a no-brainer, perfect product.' (Note, Jennifer is a Neutrogena ambassador.)
Sunscreen Is Always An Absolute Must
'I always say there is nothing more important than sunscreen. No matter what, as soon as you brush your teeth, even if you think you're not going anywhere, you still have to put it on. You have to make it a part of your routine. That is how you get to look like you are 30-something. Nothing looks better in your 50s than sunscreen in your 20s. I use the Ultra Sheer Face Mist. It’s perfect.'
She Detangles Her Hair In The Shower
'While I use the Sheila Stotts Brush religiously, I do use just a classic Wet Brush in the shower as well. It helps me make sure the conditioner I use gets spread evenly everywhere.'
Anti-Ageing Is One Of Her Priorities
'There are two things that really make a difference in the makeup of skin cells. One is retinol, and the other is hyaluronic acid. You have to figure out how sensitive your skin is to retinol. It might work for you wearing it every other day, every night, or every week. For me, the Rapid Wrinkle Repair Oil at night is everything. It’s just right. If I start to feel a little sensitive I’ll take the night off and use Hydro Boost moisturizer instead. I just like feeling like I’m getting all of the buildup under a mask out from under my skin.'
She’s Learning Way More About Haircare
'I work with Virtue in the smallest ways. It’s not a major thing, but it is a joyful one, because it’s all about my relationship with Adir Abergel, the brand's Creative Director. Lucky me, Adir knows what he was talking about when it comes to haircare, because I really did fall in love with the products. And that has just been a joyful collaboration all around.'
Moisture Is Everything To Her
'It’s all about moisture. There are just so many great, different ways to get moisture into your skin. I love the Hydro Boost Daily Moisturizer because it has the base layer of SPF 15. But I don’t use that as my only SPF. It’s a great first layer, but I use the Ultra Sheer Face Mist over it. I really massage it in and bring blood to the surface of my skin so that it does its job.'
