There are many different ways to get a squeaky clean image and Lindsay Lohan has decided to start with her face. The actress has a new gig and it isn't a movie, Lohan will be the new spokesperson for Proactiv Solution, an acne medication.

 

Before you snicker and roll your eyes the deal is apparently worth $2 million, not bad for talking a little bit about some pimple cream. According to Bosh Lindsay Lohan isn't the first to sing the praises of Proactiv and probably won't be the last. Lindsay has already filmed a 2-minute commercial that will begin airing this week on MTV, MTV2, E! and Style. Lohan's not the only star who has sung Proavtic's praises. Previous spokespeople for the brand include Jessica Simpson, Kelly Clarkson, Sean "Diddy" Combs, Vanessa L. Williams, Brooke Shields and Elle Macpherson. Here is an exerpt of Lohan's pitch, "My skin, thanks to Proactiv, is clear all the time. Proactiv heals acne, but the best thing is that it's super gentle, so it works every day like skin care. That's how I use it, and it works."

 

Is Lindsay Lohan going for a complete makeover? The young star has taken flack over her appearance in the past for being way too thin and has recently started to fill out with curves in all the right places. In a report from Life Style Extra the actress admits that she wants to be judged on more than her looks. The deal comes weeks after Lohan - who turned 20 last week - insisted she didn't just want to judged on her looks, before telling Britain's GQ magazine that she is happy to show off her curves. She was quoted as saying, "It's my body. And I like my body. And I like my breasts. And no, they're not fake." Lohan also reveals that she likes certain photos that are taken of her, "I think a woman's body is so much more sensual than a man's. I'm not saying strip off all your clothes, but there are certain photos I like people taking of me, where I'm comfortable. As long as it's tasteful, why not?"

 

Even though Lindsay Lohan will be sharing her acne experiences, just like Diddy and Jessica Simpson, the pay scale will be a little smaller. Contact Music reports, The MEAN GIRLS star's pay packet comes up short compared to other Proactiv celebrity spokespeople including Combs, who received $3 million (GBP1.7 million) to endorse the product and Simpson, who received $2.5 million (GBP1.4 million), according to Forbes magazine.
