Kerry Washington in Stella McCartney at the 2013 Teen Choice Awards

Kerry Washington - Augsut 2013 - BellaNaija
Scandal star Kerry Washington attended the 2013 Teen Choice Awards at the Gibson Amphitheatre in Universal City, California yesterday Sunday 11th August 2013.
The 36 year old Hollywood actress looked stunning in a pink long sleeve dress from Stella McCartney’s Resort 2014 collection.
Kerry styled the mini dress which features embellishments as well as heart and lipstick details, with a pair of Christian Louboutin heels.
Wavy locks and Lancome make-up completed the look.
Hmm… We wonder what her husband Nnamdi Asomugha thinks of the look.

Murad - BellaNaija - August2013001
In Nigeria, Murad is exclusively distributed and retailed by Montaigne Place, a luxury cosmetics, fragrance and well-being company that has brought some of the world’s exclusive and leading brands to Nigeria such as Clarins, black|Up, Creed, Lalique, YesforLov and lots more.
Murad’s mission is to create topical skincare products and dietary supplements that transform lives by helping people look and feel confident, healthy and beautiful while transforming the skincare industry by raising the standards for performance and innovation. That’s why transforming skincare is the promise of performance that stands behind every product we offer.
Murad products are formulated based in the science of cellular water. The world’s most comprehensive approach to understanding health and aging, the science of cellular water looks at the ability of cell membranes to hold water within cells as the fundamental marker of youthful good health.
Murad, Inc., the first modern doctor brand, was founded in 1989 by Howard Murad M.D., one of the world’s foremost authorities on skin health and author of pioneering studies exploring the role of cellular water in total body wellness.
Murad offers 130 high- performance, science-based, topical and internal skincare products and is headquartered in El Segundo, California. Murad is a family-run company, co-directed by Dr. Murad as CEO and his nephew, Richard Murad as General Manager.

Murad founder, Howard Murad, M.D., defines vision and direction for Murad, Murad Medical Group and Murad Research Laboratories and travels the world speaking both as a brand ambassador and skin-health educator. Dr Murad is a Board-Certified Dermatologist, an Associate Clinical Professor of Medicine (Dermatology), UCLA, a Fellow of the American Academy of Dermatology (FAAD), a Pharmacist, a holder of 18 dermatology-related patents and according to Vogue “One of the country’s best dermatologists.”
The Murad Recipe
Since 1992, all Murad formulas have been uniquely based on “The Murad Recipe” to promote and protect skin health at the cellular level through the use of:
• Antioxidants to neutralize cell damaging free radicals
• Anti-inflammatories to reduce inflammatory damage
• Hydrators to optimize the strength of skin’s barrier
The Science of Cellular Water
The Goal: To optimize skin’s health and appearance by protecting and promoting cellular integrity (ABCD goal points)
A. A healthy young cell has an intact membrane and the ability to hold
vital intra-cellular water.
B. Over time, age, disease, free-radicals, stress and inflammation attack the cell membrane.
C. When the cell membrane is compromised vital water seeps out and the cell starts to die.
D. The body is flooded internally with micro-nutrients to create the ideal environment for the production of healthy cells with the strongest membranes possible.
Murad’s 3-Steps
For skin so healthy it glows, no matter what your skin type or concern, the steps to ultimate skin health are simple 1-2-3.
Cleanse | Tone
Wash your face twice daily to remove dirt, debris, makeup, dead skin cells and accumulate oils. Use toner- no more than twice a day- to restore skin’s pH and prepare it for the next step.
Treat | Repair
This is the most important step of every skincare regimen. Use as instructed to repair existing damage and optimize the health of your skin so it can defend itself against further injury. This includes both topical and internal supplement care.
Hydrate | Protect
Apply a moisturizer to replenish and restore your skin. Be sure to use a sunscreen every day, regardless of your activities or the weather.
