Katrina
Kaif
has
recently
signed
on
for
an
advertisement
for
a
skin
whitening
cream.
It
is
believed
that
the
product
helps
women
fight
off
signs
of
ageing.
The
moisturiser
containes
a
Vitaniacin
formulation
in
addition
to
available
sunscreen
protection
in
its
different
variants,
making
it
ideal
for
Indian
skin.
It
is
believed
that
the
ad
was
first
offered
to
Kareena
but
she
turned
it
down
because
she
didn't
want
to
be
associated
with
a
brand
for
older
women.
Kareena
and
Katrina
have
peachy
and
clear
complexions,
which
is
why
they
were
short-listed
for
this
international
skin
care
brand.
A
source
close
to
Bebo
admits,
"She
refused
the
ad
as
she
felt
it
wasn't
the
right
fit.
Maybe
in
15
years'
time,
she
will
be
ready
to
do
it.
She
felt
that
being
the
face
of
the
product
would
interfere
with
her
fresh
and
youthful
image
—
so
she
declined
the
offer." But
Katrina
had
no
such
reservations.
She
was
offered
a
huge
amount,
and
she
immediately
agreed
to
endorse
the
face
cream."
A
source
close
to
Katrina
refutes
the
story
that
it's
an
anti-ageing
skin
care
cream.
"She
has
signed
the
skin
care
cream
but
it's
not
an
anti-ageing
one.
Katrina
is
only
on
for
a
new
product
and
not
for
their
entire
range.
As
far
as
we
know
the
anti-ageing
cream
is
still
being
endorsed
by
Sushmita
Sen.
The
new
product
is
for
the
younger
generation."
A
spokesperson
for
Matrix,
who
handles
Kareena
and
Katrina's
endorsements
says,
"Katrina
is
not
doing
any
anti-ageing
skin
care
cream.
And
Kareena
is
the
brand
ambassador
of
another
skin
care
brand
for
the
last
three
years
so
there's
no
question
of
her
turning
down
or
being
approached
by
another
skin
brand.
