Kerry Washington joins Neutrogena as creative consultant

Actress Kerry Washington has landed a new role as a creative consultant for beauty brand Neutrogena.

The Scandal star has signed on as a spokesmodel for the skincare and make-up firm, but her job will be more than skin deep - she will also give bosses her insight on product marketing, research and development.

She says, "The more I learned about the company's values, guiding principles, and commitment to quality, the more I realized that Neutrogena is so much more than your average beauty company. I knew I wanted to be a part of a company that is helping to make a difference in people's lives. As a creative consultant, I will be able to have a real voice inside this amazing company, which is a tremendously exciting endeavor."

Washington follows in the footsteps of fellow brand ambassadors Jennifer Garner, Gabrielle Union, Hayden Panettiere and Emma Roberts.
