No, ma’am.”On super-hot days “where I know I’m going to be sweaty, or if I am feeling like my skin is feeling oily for whatever reason, I will pivot toNeutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunscreen Lotion, SPF 55,” Garner says.Jennifer Garner at the Party Down screening on June 3.Emma McIntyre/WireImage“This is a long time favorite of mine. If you want proper makeup on, it’s great under makeup because it’s so light. But it’s also great on [areas like] your arms.

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.”
