Jennifer Garner’s Plea to Her Daughters Makes Us Reconsider What Values We Should Teach Our Children

year ago

As parents, we all want our children to grow up to be happy, successful, and kind individuals. But in a world where everything is quite unexpected and unplanned, it can be challenging to know which values to instill in our kids. That’s why Jennifer Garner’s recent advice to her daughters has struck a chord with so many of us. Let’s see what she has to say.

Jennifer Garner is a big fan of aging naturally.

Garner shared some sound advice for those of us who worry about getting older. Garner, who will turn 51 soon, believes that aging is a privilege and encourages us to focus on the positive aspects of growing older.

Garner practices what she preaches, as she’s always been committed to staying active and healthy, and she encourages others to do the same. She often shares her workouts on social media, from hiking in the great outdoors to taking yoga classes. She also emphasizes the importance of self-care and stress management, which can help us feel and look our best as we age.

She also wants her kids to understand this.

Garner’s advice on beauty and cosmetic procedures is refreshingly honest and practical. In a recent interview, the actress urged caution when it comes to injecting anything into your face. She believes that many people are too quick to turn to cosmetic procedures as a solution to aging and that this can lead to a loss of authenticity and self-confidence.

“My advice is to look at the mirror less and be cautious when it comes to injecting anything into your face,” Garner explained. While we imagined she would say something like, “Wear more sunscreen,” the actress’s advice is way simpler.

She got all her understating about aging from her lovely mama.

At 50, Garner shared a valuable beauty tip with a gentle nudge: “Don’t think that you’re 37, and you need to be shooting up your face.” Her secret to aging gracefully was passed down from her wise mom, who taught her to lead by example instead of just preaching about it. As Garner once revealed, her mom simply “lived” the advice, and that’s what stuck with her.

“She said as you get older, the temptation is to stare into the mirror and focus on what’s changing, and here’s the secret: Don’t look!” Garner noted. “Just care less, be grateful that you’re getting older.” And she’s exactly right!

And now it’s time to pass her wisdom down to her kids.

The Adam Project actress revealed that she’s also passing on the same wise words to her teenage daughters, Violet and Seraphina (while her son, Samuel, who is 10, is still a little young for such advice).

“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. We all look at our faces more than people used to, and it doesn’t do you any good. You obsess over changes or how to fix something on your face,” she explained. “You don’t need to wear so much makeup or have such a constant blowout.”

Garner understands the importance of self-expression through makeup and won’t discourage her daughters from using beauty products as they please. However, she has emphasized to her girls that less is often more, saying, “Makeup is a great form of expression.”

In fact, Garner proudly shared that her daughters are not hesitant to experiment with different looks and have fun with makeup. She believes that this sense of playfulness is a crucial aspect of beauty and self-confidence. And we couldn’t agree more!
