Jennifer Garner is opening up about her approach to aging gracefully and why she urges caution when it comes to cosmetic injectables. The fan-favorite actress, 53, shared her beauty wisdom in a recent interview, offering insight into her personal routine and the advice she’d pass along to others who are thinking about undergoing treatments and procedures.
Talking to Harper’s Bazaar, she shared her advice, especially for young women thinking about their appearance. When it comes to injectables, her philosophy is simple, “Find somebody fantastic and proceed with caution.”
Unlike other stars, she says she doesn’t rely heavily on Botox or other treatments, admitting, “Botox doesn’t work very well for me; that’s why I wear bangs a lot.”

Her doctors have encouraged her to hold off. “So, God only knows 10 years from now what the conversation will be. I’m not there yet.”

She’s worn sunscreen religiously since her twenties, a habit she credits for her youthful look in her fifties. In addition, she keeps her energy high by working out with younger, fitter people, which she says helps her “feel youthful.”

“Look in the mirror less, obsess less, and look at the rest of the world to see what you could be using your time for instead," she declared.
