How Jennifer Garner Protects Her Kids (and Husband Ben!) from the Sun

Mar 19, 2013 @ 12:13 pm

Spring starts tomorrow, and before you run into the sunshine, Jennifer Garner has a tip for you: Wear sunscreen. The actress makes sure she protects her entire family—including her three children with husband Ben Affleck—with a healthy dose every morning. “Sun care is such a big part of my family’s routine that if I’m not home, [my kids] will remind their dad to make sure they have it on,” Garner told InStyle.com at the Neutrogena Sun Summit in New York. “Sometimes they’re, like, ‘Mom!‘—and I don’t know any kid who isn’t—but you make it as fast and painless as possible.” And to do that, she recommends using spray-on sunscreen. “They’re fast easy, and they really do have great coverage, so we have those sprays everywhere. I have one in my purse, in my car, near the door before walking out, in the bedroom—everywhere!” For an easy-to-use spray sunscreen, try Neutrogena’s Ultra Sheer Body Mist ($8.49 at neutrogena.com) or Coppertone Sport Continuous Spray Ultra Sweatproof ($8 at walmart.com). For more sunscreen suggestions, see our favorites in the link below.

Ben Affleck Plans Since Winning His Oscar: “Take It In and Not Do Anything!”

Mar 12, 2013 @ 4:23 pm

It’s been good to be Ben Affleck! Fresh off his Best Picture Oscar for Argo, the director who swept the 2013 awards season is celebrating his win with some much-deserved R&R. “I’ve been able to just really enjoy my good fortune the last couple of weeks, to sit back and kind of take it all in and not do anything,” said Affleck at John Varvatos’ annual benefit for Stuart House, an event co-chaired by his wife, Jennifer Garner. And since he can skip the designer suits, he’s been enjoying sweet snacks. “I’m eating ice cream on the couch! It’s been a really nice time to hang out with my wife. We’re enjoying it.” A good family and a philanthropic heart—we bet that feels good!

It was an Oscar couples reunion at John Varvatos’s 10th Annual Benefit this weekend, where Liev Schreiber, Naomi Watts, Ben Affleck, and Jennifer Garner were all on-hand to support Stuart House, a treatment center for children who have suffered sexual abuse. Garner began her involvement with the cause eight years ago, and now she and her husband are co-chairs of the benefit. “She told me about what she saw at Stuart House and what the children had to go through after being subjected to these kinds of assaults, and how important it was to have people there who were caring and thoughtful and going to do this the right way,” explained Affleck at the benefit, held at Varvatos’ boutique in West Hollywood. The event featured a live auction to support the House, as well as a performance by Aerosmith. “You just see the outpouring of people that want to be part of such an important cause and to me that’s the most important thing that we’ve done over the last ten years,” host Varvatos added. “To really raise the awareness and raise money to support helping these young kids.” To find out how you can help Stuart House, visit 911rape.org.
