Actress, philanthropist and spokeswoman for Neutrogena, Kerry Washington is a busy woman who understands the importance of looking and feeling good! Washington told Harper’s Bazaar, “I believe women shouldn’t hide who they are but reveal who they are. The idea of encouraging women to take care of themselves and to feel beautiful is so important to me. You don’t have to be someone you’re not.” She believes in a simple regimen, but strongly advises that once you find what works for you stick with it. Here’s what works for her:

Skin

Washington is a strong advocate of removing your makeup at night. It’s one of the most important steps in your skincare routine that many women get lazy and don’t do. A great option that the actress swears by for quickly cleansing her face is Johnson’s Face Care Wipes.  Keeping her skin moisturized is also high priority. ” I’ve always had eczema and get really dry hands, so I always keep Neutrogena’s Norwegian Formula Visibly Renew Hand Cream, in my handbag. It really works.”

Makeup

Kerry Washington has the perfect pout and she knows it! She said, “I try to use products on my lips that don’t dry them out. I use lip balms with shea butter.” A great option for a lip balm is L’Occitane Ultra Rich Lip Balm. She admits that she loves Marc Jacobs lip colors, especially the one specifically created for her called Scandal. As far as mascara, she loves Dior. She believes in simplicity for her makeup looks and tries to have a focal point with each look whether it be a bold lip or a dramatized eye. “You can’t wear everything at the same time,” she said.

Staying Healthy

According to Washington, “I try to mix it up, otherwise I get bored. But I’m completely loyal to pilates – it’s the cornerstone of my fitness regime. I try to take some time every day to pray and meditate because when I do that, I’m able to stay connected to my best self and to all the things that keep me feeling good.” She also discussed taking a multi-vitamin and fish oil daily.
