If, like us, you’re an ardent fan of Victoria Beckham’s make-up collection, you’ll already know exactly what she uses each day to achieve her signature fresh-faced look (clue: her Contour Stylus pens and Reflect Highlighter Stick feature heavily). What you might not know though, is what she’s doing behind the scenes to maintain said glow, and to keep her skin looking luminous. Luckily, Victoria just let us (and her 32 million Instagram followers) in on her maintenance routine and while it does involve some hi-tech equipment, it is refreshingly concise, and so not altogether unachievable.
Alongside twice daily application of her Cell Rejuvenating Power Serum and Cell Rejuvenating Power Priming Moisturiser, both created in collaboration with Dr Augustinus Bader back in 2020, Victoria’s regime also includes daily use of an LED lamp to stimulate collagen production and reduce inflammation. While it’s not clear from her Instagram Stories which brand of mask she favours, she can clearly be seen enjoying a spell under the blue setting, which is known for its antibacterial properties and ability to address skin tone and texture.
As much as she enjoys the use of cutting edge devices, Victoria is also clearly a stickler for traditional skincare: the second element in her regime finds her posing in her (chandelier bedecked) bathroom, wearing a cream face mask created for her by celebrity facialist Melanie Grant. With access to the best of the best, it’s no wonder VB has forged a close relationship with Grant, who as well as previously working with Augustinus Bader and Chanel Beauty, also tends to the complexions of Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Rose Byrne.
To ensure her skincare is as effective as can be, VB relies on a third step, with the help of Grant and her trusty dermaplaner (a cosmetic scalpel device used by an expert to meticulously exfoliate the skin). The tool, Grant explains as she gently sweeps it over Victoria’s cheek, is used to “get rid of peach fuzz on the skin and also any dead skin”. While you can dermaplane at home, our advice is to copy Victoria and get a professional to do it. They’ll be able to use a surgical blade, which delivers a deeper level of exfoliation and is much less likely to nick the skin.
Now, all that remains is to put Victoria’s routine into action and await skin as sparkling as hers. We’re off to stalk Instagram to see if she spills the recipe for that bespoke blended mask…
