American actress and Scandal TV Star, Kerry Washington is the incredibly gorgeous as she graces the cover of Glamour’s May issue.

The 40-year-old mum of two talks about her beauty rituals and how being Olivia Pope has transformed her personally.



Read excerpts from her interview:
About any beauty rituals that her mother or grandmother passed down to her:
“We’re an island people; my grandparents emigrated through Ellis Island from Jamaica. My parents’ first date ended at the beach. We’ve all been lifeguards in my family. So there’s a lot of water culture: I did water aerobics the whole time I was pregnant with my son. I drink tons of water—particularly now, as a nursing mom. With my skin, even, I use products all about hydration. It’s all about water!”
About the acting role that has been the most transformative for her in her career:
“It’s impossible to say that Olivia Pope hasn’t been one of the most transformative roles for me. I’ve never played a character for this long. Olivia Pope also took my anonymity away. Before, I was a character actor: Nobody really knew that the girl from Save the Last Dance was the same girl from The Last King of Scotland. So I could show up and be a person in the public eye when it was useful, then dip out and have my life. Olivia Pope has really changed that.”
