Jennifer Garner has come clean about what cosmetic procedures she has done.
The 53-year-old admitted she has tried Botox.
'I don't do a ton, and Botox doesn't work very well for me; that's why I wear bangs a lot. I like to be able to move my forehead, and it's such a big part of my face. I have, like, a five-head,' she told Harper's Bazaar.
'As far as injectables go, I think just find somebody fantastic and proceed with caution,' she suggested.
And she added if she would ever get plastic surgery.
'I haven't needed it yet, but I can't say that I haven't said to doctors before, 'Do I need to do this?' And I've had really nice doctors who have just been like, 'No,'' she shared.
'So, God only knows 10 years from now what the conversation will be. I'm not there yet.'
'My advice is to look at the mirror less and be cautious when it comes to injecting anything into your face,' she told Harper's Bazaar in July 2022 when asked about the advice she'd pass down to her two eldest kids with ex-husband Ben Affleck, 19-year-old Violet and 16-year-old Seraphina.
'Be very, very incredibly judicious and wait as absolutely long as possible to add anything,' she continued. 'Don't think that you're 37 and you need to be shooting up your face.'
Garner, who's also a mother to 13-year-old Samuel, has consistently urged young women to embrace getting older.
'Take care of yourself, but don't be scared. Aging is a gift,' she told People last March.
And she is happy at 53.
'I don't want to be younger. I'm very grateful to be exactly this age. I'm trying to soak it up. I feel like I'm living in my power. I'm living in my wisdom. I'm living in my joy and my capacity to do and get things done. So I'm just very aware of my luck and the grace that's been shown to me.'
And she wants to live long.
'I want to age,' Garner shared. 'I want to live to be 100. I don't expect to look at 100 like I look today.'
The 13 Going on 30 star has previously warned fans to be cautious when it comes to injectables.
'My routine at night is to set myself up for the morning; it's all about preparation,' said the ex of Ben Affleck.
'I set up my coffee, my workout, and my workout clothes to make it easy, so I don't have an excuse. I also always wash my face. If I have a lot of makeup on from work, I'll use the Neutrogena Makeup Remover wipes. The brand has compostable ones now that I love. They're the OG. They're the best ones. But I'll still wash my face, because if I have that much makeup on, I want to give it a couple of goes.'
This month Jennifer's daughter Violet has been in the news.
The 19-year-old was stuck in a hotel room arguing with her mother Garner during the California wild fires.
The student opened up about her family's experience of the disaster in an essay written for Yale University's student-run Yale Global Health Review in which Violent revealed her mother was 'astonished' by the destruction in the family's neighborhood of Pacific Palisades back in January.
She wrote: 'I spent the January fires in Los Angeles arguing with my mother in a hotel room. She was shell-shocked, astonished at the scale of destruction in the neighborhood where she raised myself and my siblings.
'I was surprised at her surprise: as a lifelong Angelena and climate-literate member of generation Z, my question had not been whether the Palisades would burn but when.
'As I chatted with adults in the hotel where we'd gone to escape the smoke, though, I found my position to be an uncommon one: people spoke of how long rebuilding would take, how much it would cost, and how tragically odd the whole situation had been.
'The crisis was acute, a burst of bad luck. It had come from a combination of high winds and low rains ... '
Violet went on to reveal her younger brother Samuel couldn't understand how climate change could have played a part in the disaster, adding: 'What, my little brother asked, did global warming have to do with the speed of the wind?'
She added: 'Hopefully, most of us understand the climate crisis better than my little brother.'
The teenager is a student at Davenport College and previously spoke out in favour of using face masks to prevent the spread of COVID-19 during a passionate speech at a Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors meeting last July.
During her appearance at the meeting, Violet also made a passionate plea for long COVID to be taken seriously - asking for face masks to be worn in public buildings and for increased availability of testing and treatment.
She introduced herself as Violet Affleck, Los Angeles resident, first-time voter and 18.'
She went on: 'I contracted a post-viral condition in 2019. I'm OK now, but I saw first-hand that medicine does not always have answers to the consequences of even minor viruses. The COVID-19 pandemic has thrown that into sharper relief.
'One in 10 infections leads to long COVID, which is a devastating neurological [and] cardiovascular illness that can take away people's ability to work, move, see, and even think.'
She added: 'To confront the long COVID crisis, I demand mask availability, air filtration and far-UVC light in government facilities, including jails and detention centres, and mask mandates in county medical facilities.
'We must expand the availability of high-quality free tests and treatment and, most importantly, the county must oppose mask bans for any reason.
'They do not keep us safer, they make vulnerable members of our community less safe and make everyone less able to participate in Los Angeles together. Thank you.'
Violet is the eldest daughter of Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck, who divorced in 2018. The former couple are also parents to younger children Seraphina and Samuel.
