Nicole Kidman signs on with Neutrogena

Academy-award winning actress Nicole Kidman is the latest face of skincare brand Neutrogena and she's pretty damn excited about it.

"The world works in mysterious ways," she says.

"I grew up in Australia where sun protection is everything ... from the time I was a little girl my mum taught me to protect my skin from the sun.

"So looking after the health of my skin is something I've grown up understanding. But as time passes, I've realised that sun protection has become just part of the story ... I've learned that the your skin needs a lot of attention and support, just like the rest of your body in order to keep it its healthiest."

It's those beliefs that made our Nic the perfect fit for this particular brand which has always focused on skin health overall.

Nicole joins a swag of beautiful, fresh-faced women who are affiliated with the brand including Kerry Washington, Jennifer Garner, Julie Bowen and Kristen Bell. It's a group Nicole is incredibly proud to be a part of, describing the women as both strong and inspiring.

"It was like the stars were aligning for me," she says.

And not just in relation to her career - it seems that Nicole is chuffed with all facets of her world right now.

"Right now I can honestly say I am loving life more than ever," she says.
