The 51-year-old actress spoke with People magazine about the products she loves to keep her skin in shape.
The Neutrogena ambassador says she sticks with what she knows and loves but says in general “Hydration is everything.”
She says she is committed to three key products in particular. “In skin care, the triangle is hyaluronic acid, SPF and retinol. You need all three.”
She went on, “SPF is what holds the ship together, retinol is telling your skin to keep growing new skin cells, and hyaluronic acid binds moisture to it, so there are fewer wrinkles and more bounce.”
In particular the mother of three says she is a fan of deep cleansing with the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hydrating Gel Cleanser, Fragrance-Free and moisturising her lips with the overnight mask from the same line and is seriously committed to SPF, saying a more is more approach is needed, “especially if you use retinol.”
“It’s like [that saying] the higher the hair, the closer to God. In summer, the higher the SPF…you’ve got to add to those numbers,” she explained about applying SPF50+.
Beyond her skin, Garner says she’s growing her cropped bob out, as short hair needs more styling. “With long hair, you can just stick it in a bun on top of your head.”
Exercise plays a key part in her routine too.
“I’m focusing on feeling strong inside my body. If you are my age, and you aren’t meeting the requirements for cardiovascular work, every risk factor goes up. I want to feel good for as long as I can, so I’m in that mode.”
