Jennifer Garner is embracing her natural look and keeping her beauty routine simple. The 53-year-old actress, known for 13 Going on 30 and Alias, revealed her decision to skip Botox despite previously trying it.
“Of course, I’ve tried Botox and all that, but it takes very little to completely freeze my forehead,” Garner told Kylie Kelce on the Feb. 26 episode of the Not Gonna Lie podcast. “And then I just feel so conspicuous, like I’ve got a walking billboard. I might as well get a tattoo across it. It’s horrible. So, no, the Botox in the forehead, unfortunately, is not for me.”
While Garner admits she still experiences insecurities about her appearance, she has found practical ways to manage them. “I do, I have creasy wrinkles, and they’re just gonna have to be there,” she said, noting that she sometimes opts for bangs to cover her forehead.
The actress also emphasized that she does take care of her skin through annual visits to a dermatologist for non-invasive treatments. “Don’t think that I don’t have something in there because I haven’t done surgery,” she said. “I haven’t done any of that stuff. But once a year, I go see someone, and I’m like, I’m a pin cushion. The more you spend on a dermatologist doing a bunch of things, the less you can tell they’ve done it. Somehow, that’s a good thing.”
Garner stressed she supports others’ choices to pursue cosmetic procedures. “I also think that anyone who wants to do whatever they wanna do, they look beautiful,” she said.
As a mother to Violet, 20, Seraphina, 17, and Samuel, 14, with ex-husband Ben Affleck, Garner admitted she avoids making promises about future cosmetic work. “My kids are like, ‘Mom, promise us you’ll never get a facelift.’ And I say, ‘I am unlikely to rush toward a facelift,’” she shared. “And yet I refuse to make that promise because I am me today, and I don’t know how I’m gonna feel.”
Garner’s candid approach highlights her commitment to authenticity and natural aging, inspiring many fans to rethink beauty standards.
