Gossip Girl star Leighton Meester has been signed up as luxury skincare brand Biotherm's Global Ambassador.

The 27-year-old singer and actress will debut in campaigns for the brand from early 2014. Her first role will be as the face of the iconic Aquasource product, of which she said, 'What I love most is the texture. It feels so light and fresh on my skin... I feel like I’m glowing from within'.

Patrick Kullenberg, Biotherm International General Manager said of Meester, '[she] is a contemporary icon, a young star whose natural talent, energy and beauty, have made her the face of a generation,' he says. 'She’s the perfect expression of Biotherm skincare’s essential values: fresh modernity and natural beauty. She was an obvious choice to represent our brand.'

While Meester says of the brand, 'What I love about Biotherm is it’s always evolving and changing and becoming more modern. I think it’s empowering, I feel very lucky to be part of the brand.'

We'll be seeing a lot more of Meester in 2014 as she stars in The Judge opposite Robert Downey Jr; with real-life boyfriend Adam Brody in Life Partners and alongside Debra Messing in Like Sunday, Like Rain. And this isn't the star's first foray into the world of beauty either, Meester is the face of Vera Wang's Lovestruck perfume.
