Jennifer Garner never steers us wrong. Whether she’s recommending her favorite walking shoes, the best leggings, or dishing on her skincare routine, the 53-year-old’s decades of experience sitting in beauty chairs and speaking with experts of all kinds culminate in top-tier beauty advice. But just because she has access to expensive products doesn’t mean that’s what her beauty bag is stocked with. The star and Neutrogena ambassador tells Prevention that her go-to drugstore product is Neutrogena’s Ultra-Sheer Face Liquid Mineral Sunscreen.
Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Face Liquid Mineral Sunscreen
The newest drop in the beauty brand’s repertoire, this mineral sunscreen boasts an SPF 70, getting an update from past versions. “This is a totally different ball of wax,” Garner explains. “Neutrogena has changed the game. This works under makeup; it works on dewy skin. It’s not going to look greasy; you’re going to feel great. This is an everyday, easy thing to comply with.”
As far as skin health goes, Garner says the most important thing is to “get your bits checked!” she quips. “If you read this, make an appointment with your dermatologist.” Skin cancer is no joke. In fact, about one in five people develop skin cancer in their lifetime—an astounding statistic. The best method for protecting skin, outside of staying in the shade and wearing sun-protective clothing, is to apply the best sunscreen.
Remembering to add it to your skincare routine order is so simple with Garner’s hack. “Get out of the shower, brush your teeth, whatever it is you do in the morning, and put on your sunscreen. Don’t debate.”
If you’re looking to get that Garner glow, she offers up her trifecta of powerhouse products: retinol, hyaluronic acid, and, of course, sunscreen.
“I really do believe retinol is a game-changer. You cannot use retinol without using sunscreen throughout the day,” she says. “Retinol invites your skin to have new baby skin cells. You can’t expose your babies to the harsh sun. So mineral is the way to go. That combo for aging skin, a little retinol, a little hyaluronic acid. I go back and forth.”
