Mischa Barton has something else to do besides acting. The movie beauty is the latest star to be the face of a health campaign which warns against the dangers of too much exposure to the sun.
The actress has been tapped to front the skin awareness for everyone (Safe) campaign, launched by the Institute of Cancer Research and high-street chain Superdrug.
"I spend a lot of my life in the sun and know how important it is to be sun aware and protect your skin," Mischa said. "I hope that my support of Superdrug's important campaign will ensure everyone stays safe in the sun this summer whether at home, on holiday or even on the beaches of California."
Concerning her new duty, Mischa is about to pose for in-store posters and stress the need for protecting skin from sunlight, which can cause skin cancer.
Following her departure from the popular Fox television teen drama series "The O.C." Mischa has three films to be released later this year, they are "Closing the Ring", "Virgin Territory" and the independent feature "Don't Fade Away."
